And the winner is...

Best record title in recent history:

Yo La Tengo - Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass

Other titles I've always liked:

Living Colour - Vivid
The Smiths - Meat is Murder
XTC - Skylarking
Prince - Around the World in a Day
Neil Young - Harvest
Charles Mingus - Tijuana Moods
Frank Zappa - Does Humor Belong in Music?

I guess I tend to like titles that are clever and unique, but don't necessarily hit you over the head with it. I'm also thinking of things from the art side, and the records above have great covers that are hard to separate from either the title or the music inside.
