Working/Original Titles for Wilco albums


Recommended Posts

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?

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"),

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.

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.

"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 :(

A.M. was originally titled Stop-Gap Crappile For Listening To Until We Blow Everyone's Minds With Something Better.

i think i'd probably think that was funny, maybe, if A.M. wasn't a freakin' amazing album.

Agreed. Or maybe it was originally Can I Do This? followed by the more successful double album Fuck Yeah I Can
