Lunchtime Poll: Honor Sidney, Rename “Pablo Honey”

Sidney Sheldon

The ghost of author Sidney Sheldon (R.I.P.) comes to you in the night while your organizing your record collection. He says, “Ugh. You call these titles? Before I died this week, I wrote titles like Rage of Angels, The Doomsday Conspiracy and The Other Side of Midnight, bitch!” Using his after-lifey powers, he enables you to permanently retitle any crappily entitled album of your choice for all time. Pablo Honey could now forever be known as I Wanna Cover You With Jam…or something. Which album title do you change…and why?

I DO like POP, I think it’s insanely good; I would just like to hear Edge remix it tho

Other great POP songs
If you Wear that Velvet Dress
Wake Up Dead Man

The only two actually I think are weaker than the rest are The Playboy Mansion and Miami; I still like em tho and when Bono sings “Miami!! My mammy!!” you cannot help but smile

“Pop” has been continuously savaged through the years, but I love the record just as it is. And I find it a better record than “All That You Can’t Leave Behind”, which was generally considered a return to form, but I find mediocre.

did you change your underwear today, pablo?

Coldplay’s greatest hits should be called:
If you buy this you suck more cock than you have common sense, musical taste or brains but not money you losers (all our songs sound the same)

Joe | 1/31/2007, 7:30 pm EST

POP songs of greatness

Last Night on Earth
Staring at the Sun
Mofo
Please
Do You feel Loved
Discotheque
If God Will Send His Angels

Bono’s right about this one, it does sound unfinished, but the new version (if they ever do it) should actually be called MAN (you know, like their first record was BOY)

Joe | 1/31/2007, 6:16 pm EST

POP shoulda been called MOFO. This album will be appreciated in 5 years or so, as the single version of PLEASE released after the album was much better than the album version. EDGE, please remix this!!!

Pablo Honey should be called
Kid honey. That name is so cool.

Ouroboros | 1/31/2007, 3:01 pm EST

jungleland, it would still have “Mofo”, which would seem completely out of place…

jungleland | 1/31/2007, 2:09 pm EST

U2 POP would have been a much bigger hit if it had been called LAST NIGHT ON EARTH and had skipped Discotheque

jungleland | 1/31/2007, 2:07 pm EST

I would change any self titled CD if it was released after the band had a Cd with a title (Pearl Jam)…or after they had multiple CDs with that title (Peter Gabriel)

Also any CD title that follows this format

Title: A Subtitle …

Or A Chicago Cd that is not a number

Joe | 1/31/2007, 1:34 pm EST

The Joshua Tree should be called Outside It’s America

Joe | 1/31/2007, 1:33 pm EST

The Joshua Tree should be called

Hey punchy, if Pablo Honey is in fact named after a Jerky Boys prank, how does that impact the suckiness of the name? It’s a poor title with or without the “slightest knowledge of pop culture.”

I didn’t care for Modest Mouse’s “Good News For People Who Love Bad News” title, but I won’t suggest an alternative. As for Radiohead, “Hail to the Thief” is a bad title, a silly play on words that will date the album.

Ouroboros | 1/31/2007, 1:15 pm EST

“With Teeth” would be called “Bleed Through” as originally intended.
By the way, “Pablo Honey” could be called “Craap”. Just kidding.

Fiona Apple’s 2nd album:

Original Title:
When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He’ll Win the Whole Thing ‘Fore He Enters the Ring There’s No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and if You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and if You Fall It Won’t Matter, ‘Cuz You’ll Know That You’re Right.

New Title:
my head hurts

Mr. Punchy | 1/31/2007, 12:18 pm EST

This just shows that you don’t know where the name “Pablo Honey” comes from. But hey, why would Rolling Stone have the slightest knowledge of pop culture?

i’ll betcha elizabeth wrote this…

ok ok; ’song remains the same’ would be named ‘physical graffiti’, and ‘physical graffiti’ would be named ’song remains the same’ - ‘the beatles would be called ‘the white album’ and ‘the black album’ would be named ‘prince’ or something…
