(I stole this from Interference. Don't tell them. )

The task: To rename each of U2's studio albums.
The catch: The new title MUST be a lyric from that particular album. It can be a thematic lyric, a misplaced/unfitting lyric, or anything you think sounds better than the existing titles.

Here's my list:

Boy: Walls of White Protest
October: Kingdoms Fall
War: Feet Upon a Rock
UF: Bomb-Blast Lightning Waltz
JT: Thunder on the Mountain
R&H: Spinning on a Wheel
AB: Sleep on Stones
Zooropa: Head Full of Traffic
Passengers: A Lens to See It All Up Close
Pop: Holy Dunc Spacejunk
ATYCLB: Queue for the Lifeboat
HTDAAB: Break the Monster's Back

"The last two records were very personal, with a kind of three piece at their heart, the primary colours of rock - bass, guitars and drum. But what we’re about now is of the same order as the transition that took us from The Joshua Tree to Achtung Baby." - Bono, September 2008
