Wrecking Ball Etiquette

Post by Long Run »

I know the name "Wrecking Ball" is not exactly "Abbey Road" in originality, but there's already a Grammy winning album by the name of Springsteen's new album. What is the code for artist's in naming albums or songs when someone already has the title? (btw, I like both singers).

Grace Slick, that acid-addled cutie of the cosmos beat them both to it in 1981 with Welcome to the Wrecking Ball!, an album that made Gob's electronic indulgences sound like Zeppelin backed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with the Holy Ghost himself on lead zither. Update your scorecards in the imitative title mediocrity sweepstakes, ladies and gentlemen.

Bruce is a 'singer' now?


I never would have guessed. When did he start doing that?

He was always what musicians, when they were being friendly and nice, called a 'vocalist'.

I'll have to throw a penalty flag on that, I'm afraid...

Using the phrase in conjunction with other words in the title is not the same as using just those words as the title...

Well I'm going to release a Spoken Word album and call it Wrecking Ball.
It'll just be me reading Steve's posts from the CSB.

See you at the Grammys! :D
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?
