In my mind I always thought of the steel as a sword but yours seems like a pretty good analogy and maybe Neil came up with the title with the intentional double meaning. Intentional, for sure.

What? No love for "Snakes and Arrows"? Yeah...that may be the worst actually.

How does Grace Under Pressure, a cliche, get up there? Caress of Steel for the imagery of the words and Test for Echo for the meanings, get my votes.

I'm surprised no one has voted for Rush. If that's not a cool album name maybe Rush themselves are not cool.....oh yeah of course

[GeddyRulz]

I find I lean towards the aggressive-sounding, hard rock-sounding titles:

 

Caress of Steel

Hold Your Fire

Test for Echo

Vapor Trails

 

I must also agree with Gary: "A Farewell to Kings" sounds very literary and Proggish.

I'm fairly sure "fingers on strings" is most accurate. Keep in mind that Alex plays a STEEL GUITAR on that one album. It's that easy.   Although, to hear Michael "Ego Death" Hoffman describe it, "Caress of Steel" is a double-entrendre allusion to the mystical state of "ego death," because it hints at "the GUILLOTINE (see 'Bastille Day') of ego death." He says he's embarrassed it took him six years to decipher that meaning. (Yeah, Michael, go drop another hit of acid... when you get back to Earth, spend another SIXTY years trying to figure out the more obvious meaning! )

A Farewell to Kings...

Very poetic...

 

 

Vapor Trails is a good one...According to me, it's means the 1997-2002 hiatus

Indeed!

I went with Kings, which is also the best album cover.

 

Grace is a close second...
