Rename the White Album with a title track
Tusk has Tusk, Tango in the Night has Tango in the Night, and Say You Will has Say You Will. (And yes, Mystery to Me has Mystery to Me etc.)
But the White Album, Rumours, and Mirage do not have title tracks. Which tracks would you choose to rename these albums as? Let's start with the White Album (Fleetwood Mac, 1975). There is a limit of 10 options per poll but 11 tracks on the White Album. I have arbitrarily decided to omit Blue Letter as it was not penned by the band members. Note: This is not a "favorite song" poll.

I used a process of elimination.
Monday Morning is an irrelevant name for an album. Warm Ways is a creepy name for an album. Rhiannon is irrelevant and creepy. Crystal is really confusing because, as a metaphor, it’s a tenor without a vehicle. Say You Love Me sounds a little demanding. Landslide is prescient, given the band’s big success, but may be construed as a microaggression. I’m So Afraid triggers all manner of neurotic sensations. Over My Head is just barely interesting as an album title, but a band trying to rebrand itself may not want to announce that it’s in over its head. World Turning is the only possible choice. It also sounds nice in relation to the string of album titles: World Turning > Rumours > Tusk > Mirage > Tango in the Night I would have followed the Rumours and Mirage model and named the album something distinct from any of the song titles and that encapsulated the group’s new ties to the West Coast: El Lay

Sugar Daddy would have been so confusing. Especially with 3 men and two women.

I went with Crystal, mainly because it goes well with Rumours, Tusk, and Mirage.

David is right. World Turning is the only choice.

World Turning implies forward movement while also alluding to the band’s initial iteration. If the album was named after a song, it would have best been that one.
Crystal sounds pretty but wouldn’t stand a chance, as it was originally a BN song from two years prior—and because, as David pointed out, there is no obvious source for the metaphor. I’m glad the album is self-titled. It fits the mythology of rebirth. |
