I really like the Over My Head idea. I like the fact the crystal is in fact, "over his head" on the cover photo...and how about a Chris song for a title? I mean, why not?

Also from a comical viewpoint, I could just envision John thinking about Mick on the front cover; "DUDE, YOU'RE WAY OVER MY HEAD"! But mostly, I just like it as a title to the album.

My sentiments exactly.

Plus, that's what John's "midget" character seems to be saying in the cover shot.

I guess it's widely thought that the band didn't give the White Album a title because they wanted it to be obvious that they were starting all over again. Which of course causes some people to confuse it with the PG's Fleetwood Mac album.

Retitling the album? Very hard to do, since the songwriters' personalities weren't in full view yet. But retrospectively, I guess a very '70s-like title would do:

"Gypsies, Goofballs, Songbirds and Warhorses"

I definitely should get some sleep before the gigs!

How about "Dreams Unwind"?

In Rhiannon on the album version you only hear her singing the line on the song as it fades out...but as we know it developed into the best verse of the song when performed live

The song Rhiannon propelled the album commercially and was probably the most memorable for most people. The song thew Stevie into the spotlight when it was released, and probably changed all of their lives.

It could be interpreted several ways...It draws you in, because it's their dreams "unwinding"...in the sense that their thoughts and dreams and things close to their heart are all folded or wound into this record, and they sort of unfold or "unwind" as you hear it as the record spins (it was the seventies after all).

On another note, it would sort of be foreshadowing or ironic, because as the album came out, their dreams became unraveled...everything sort of unwound and fell apart- relationships, expectations, etc.

It engages the listener and says something about them too.

I like all that, Sonia. 'Dreams Unwind' would sure be a good title. Hmm, or what about 'Unwind'?? The songs have such a SoCal/easy listening sound, that it works on both levels. Or even 'Unwound'. <-- Ooooh I like that.

But remember that Rhiannon was being performed live with BN. I don't know if Stevie let it loose during those performances too. It sounds like she did. I think a big part of the 1975 breakthrough had to do with (a) Over My Head and SYLM being big radio hits (for once) and (b) word getting around about the live Rhiannon!

That was also my pick, and essentially my reason for picking it. And plus its just a cool-sounding album title.

Cool

I think Over My Head would have been the best title for the album. My other choice was Crystal, but since it was written by a 'newcomer' to the band (and furthermore, it was technically a cover... since Buckingham Nicks recorded it first), I wouldn't have called the album that way.
