Oddly enough, the rambling 23-word title of Apple’s forthcoming album – “The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do” – isn’t the longest in her catalog. That honor goes to ...-Jeff Royer

Paul McCartney –...When Paul McCartney released his new album earlier this year, Brad Paisley tweeted what everyone else was thinking: "It's only February, but Sir Paul is an absolute lock for worst album title of the year. Actually, maybe all time.”-Jeff Royer

Soulwax – ‘Most ...Soulwax edged out Fiona Apple’s ‘When the Pawn...’ for longest album title with their 2007 release “Most of the remixes we've made for other people over the years except for the one for Einstürzende Neubauten because we lost it and a few we didn't think sounded good enough or just didn't fit in length–wise, but including some that are hard to find because either people forgot about them or simply because they haven't been released yet, a few we really love, one we think is just ok, some we did for free, some we did for money, some for ourselves without permission and some for friends as swaps but never on time and always at our studio in Ghent.” That record stood until …-Jeff Royer

Chumbawumba – ‘T...Chumbawumba broke the record for longest album title (a dubious honor they still claim today) with their 2008 release “The Boy Bands Have Won and All The Copyists and The Tribute Bands and The TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture To Be Shaped By Mimicry, Whether From Lack Of Ideas Or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try To Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother’s Hand–Me–Down Jacket and Re–Style It, Re–Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don’t Just Regurgitate Creative History, Or Hold Art And Music And Literature As Fixed, Untouchable And Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try To ‘Guard’ Any Particular Form Of Music Are, Like The Copyists And Manufactured Bands, Doing It The Worst Disservice, Because The Only Thing That You Can Do To Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It’s Over, Then It’s Done, and The Boy Bands Have Won.”-Jeff Royer

Limp Bizkit – ‘C...It’s hard to say who’s more to blame for the whole Limp Bizkit phenomenon – the band itself, or the rest of America, who made an album named after Fred Durst’s juvenile euphemism for an anus the fastest–selling rock album in history.-Jeff Royer

Pete Townshend –...Townshend initially tried to defend the title of his 1982 album as a grand statement on the inherent goodness and evil of humanity and the futility of trying to mask one’s true nature, as we are all ultimately defined by how we are perceived by others. But later he admitted he should have won Stupid Title of the Year.-Jeff Royer

Spoon – ‘Ga Ga G...I know it’s Spoon, and I know the title’s supposed to be some dadaist form of expression, but that doesn’t negate the fact that this album title is obnoxious. I’d call out Radiohead for doing the same thing, I swear.-Jeff Royer
