I used to want to start a band called **Grep** , after the Unix command, but now I’d prefer **Treason Angel** after a song lyric by Jets to Brazil. My first album was going to be a theme album, titled after the main character, _Elizabeth O’Reilly_. The last name was chosen so I could include a triple entendre between the character, my band and Unix books, and Baba O’Riley. ETA: I actually wrote and recorded the majority of songs on the album on my home computer, but other than the beginning and end songs, I don’t think much of them since they are meant to drive the story forward rather than having musical validity on their own. ---

If anyone wants to use this idea please feel free. It’s an old joke from when I was a kid. I’ve always thought a very cool album title would be **What starts with F and ends with UCK?** The back cover would have a photo of a vintage **f** iretr **uck**. ---

I shall call my debut album “That Difficult Second Album”. Or perhaps just “2”. ---

> [@lieu](#): > > You and Billy Gibbons got an open invite. Well, I could say with confidence that you could tell us apart, on pretty much every level: looks, playing, musicianship, looks, choice of headwear - did I say looks? I must admit, this thread has been funnier than I expected. I like everything from **Jesus in a Porkpie Hit** (only if on the cover, the keys to the temple are dangling from a cool hipster keychain), to the Firetruck one… ---

I’ve written a song entitled “Out of the Shadows”, which seems appropriate for a debut album, so probably that. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-will-you-title-your-debut-album/653734.md?page=2)
