Play with Album Titles

What would be a dope ass title to you for any kind of LP:

mine
--"Cigarettes and Ice Cream"
--"Doin it"
--"Massacre"
--"Purple Midnight"
--"Noteworthy Accomplishments" (GH set)

-O R-

What album was titled by a song on the album (ie Purple Rain) but on that album YOU think it should have had a title inspired by a DIFFERNT Track...

My examples
--"Ray of Light" - I would call that album "Drowned World"
--"3D" should have been titled "Damaged"
--"Off the Wall" could/should be "Workin Day and Night"
--"American Life" should have been "Hollywood"
--"Something to Remember" should have remained its original title "I Want You"
--"Bedtime Stories" should have been called "Sanctuary"
--"Damita Jo" should have been titled "R&B Junkie"
I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

The TLC reference is way off. Damaged would have highlighted Lisa's death, when the record was about life. They purposely set out to finish that album when the record company wanted to just throw out a greatest hits package and call it quits. The girls realized just how much material Lisa left behind and it deserved to be heard.

Madonna's American Life was an anti-war record. Had nothing to do with Hollywood, overall.

Bedtime Stories was very appropriately named.

Janet's music has a heavy R&B base, but I don't think Damita Jo was her heaviest R&B record.

Something To Remember was PERFECT, because she was going to be away for a while working on EVITA, and that ballad compilation, with a couple of new songs, was a perfect hold over type album.
