Do songs titles betray whether a band is good or shit?

restlessboy [Edit] [Delete] 10:57, 29 March '06

Do you, on some level, think that if you see a band's cd or myspace and all the songs are called things like 'I was wrong', 'Deep Inside', 'Take my soul', 'Sunset', 'Don't forget', or 'The Paint Never Dries' - that that probably means the band are going to be boring or unispired?

whereas if they have punchy unusual/downright weird songtitles - like 'Darren's face exploded (crimson flower wall song)', 'Bespectacled Octopades Ate My Dog', 'Into The Valley Of the Fornicating Death Robots', 'Pez Dispenser Drive-By Tooth-rot' or '100 mph motherfucking banjo chop'* that means they're more likely to play interesting music with interesting lyrics?

I do. (perhaps i'm extremisising a bit with the exmple titles)
