SMPT Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I've read that AGIB had working titles of "Wilco Happens" and "dBpm". It got me wondering... were there any other titles that were changed or dropped for their other albums? Does anyone know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RainDogToo Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Found this on Wikipedia under "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot." By the end of the year, the band had recorded enough demo tracks to release a fourth studio album (the working title was "Here Comes Everybody"), Quote Link to post Share on other sites
giraffo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I can't remember, but I recall Summerteeth having a very melodramatic name before they stole the joke for the title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 W*lco Happens and dbPm (though this was actually a seperate project) were rumored titles for A Ghost is Born. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I thought I read that Sky Blue Sky had a working title of "What I Hate About Rock & Roll (And What I Love About It)". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I thought I read that Sky Blue Sky had a working title of "What I Hate About Rock & Roll (And What I Love About It)". Yes, Jeff said "this is from our new album What I hate about rock and roll (pause) and what I love about it," as he introduced Let's Not Get Carried Away at the Tall Stacks Festival in Cincinnati in 2006. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I thought I read that Sky Blue Sky had a working title of "What I Hate About Rock & Roll (And What I Love About It)". that'd be a great title if you cut off the (and what I love about it) part Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 that'd be a great title if you cut off the (and what I love about it) part I kind of like it as is. If I ever release an album, I'm stealing that title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yes, Jeff said "this is from our new album What I hate about rock and roll (pause) and what I love about it," as he introduced Let's Not Get Carried Away at the Tall Stacks Festival in Cincinnati in 2006. I was at that show and I thought he said..."This song is about what I hate about rock and roll and what I love about it" as he introduced Let's Not Get Carried Away.

Key of C Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 If memory serves.....I think the Greg Kot book mentions that Summerteeth was going to be named Small Sorrows....or something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Understood Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Also, wasn't "Baby" considered for what we now know and love as "Being There"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 "Songs in the Key of Awesome" was the working titled for Sky Blue Sky. No, that was a complete fabrication. I'm sorry guys, I don't mean to be a liar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

you ever seen a ghost? Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 A.M. was originally titled Stop-Gap Crappile For Listening To Until We Blow Everyone's Minds With Something Better. -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Moses Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 A.M. was originally titled Stop-Gap Crappile For Listening To Until We Blow Everyone's Minds With Something Better. -justin i think i'd probably think that was funny, maybe, if A.M. wasn't a freakin' amazing album.

lost highway Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 A.M. was originally titled Stop-Gap Crappile For Listening To Until We Blow Everyone's Minds With Something Better. -justin Agreed. Or maybe it was originally Can I Do This? followed by the more successful double album Fuck Yeah I Can Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carbu Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I think it says somewhere in the Greg Kot book that they were considering calling Mermaid Avenue 'Hard Feelings.' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
