in the late 90s someone put this song on a mixtape for me, I was v disappointed when I mail-ordered the album a couple of years later that the song wasn't on it

one year passes...

gotta love this place. you guys are great company, thank you.

anyway- sorry for the tangential, only semi-relevant revive but something i've always thought about is albums with ambiguous title tracks. the topic of this thread raises an interesting question: do albums like winter in america or houses of the holy really have title tracks? idk, what do you think?

main question for the revive and inspired by recent activity from the cure: what is the title track on their album wish?

reason i ask: the word appears in the title of one song - "to wish impossible things" - but appears as a major plot point in the last track "end." maybe this is too obvious of an answer and i'm overthinking it.

Television "Adventure" got dropped from "Adventure", but eventually got added to "Adventure" as an extra track bonus

cp to Austin:

the hidden title track of Omah Lay’s Boy Alone is “Never Forget”, its best and deepest cut, at the hinge point of the album, right in the middle, which has him chanting Boy Alone Lay, oh, Boy Alone Lay, Boy Alone Lay, oh Boy Alone Lay in the (post-?)chorus.

Makes me think of Agents if Fortune by Blue Oyster Cult, which has no ostensible title track, but includes the song “E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)”, which does not features those specific words but does have a line about “agents of fortune.”

ETI from Agents of Fortune by Blue Oyster Cult. Does not include eti (or extra terrestrial intelligence) in the lyrics but does make mention of “agents of fortune.”

Wow, sorry for the extra posts! Blaming it on the phone.

Am I right in thinking Agents of Fortune by Blue Oyster Cult has no ostensible title track, but includes the song “E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)”, which does not features those specific words but does have a line about “agents of fortune.”?
