And Then There's ELO's "No Answer"

While we're listing album titles, at the suggestion of OPC reader JL, let's take a look at some answer titles, where one album title is in direct response to another. We already mentioned, in our list of the greatest album titles ever, the chain from the Beatles' Let It Be to the Rolling Stones' Let It Bleed to the Replacements' Let It Be. I once read that Paul Westerberg wanted to call the Mats' next record Let It Bleed, but for some reason they didn't. More's the pity.
