I apologize if this topic has already been made, but is it just me or there's this wierd pattern going on with the album names (well only 3 actually)

The Man WHO
The INVISIBLE Band
The Boy with NO NAME

How come all these albums refer to something that is 'unknown' in some way or another. Am I the only one who thinks this? Is it just me overanalyzing?Is it just a coincident?

I know the story about the last 2 albums on the list, but I'm just wondering, did this happen by chance or on purpose!

Travis boys always say Music is more important than the band itself and musicians should be remembered by their music, none of bands are bigger than music. It's a sorta 'anonymity' as they say and the titles of their albums and artworks follow this anonymity.

The Man Who refers to the title of a book, which i can't remember the title of right now, but trust me on it...

The Invisible Band was called so because Fran was pissed off that he was 'Travis'. Like people in the street (and me and some other boardies experienced this at the last Travis gig in Glasgow... a passer-by asks "Who's playing tonight then?" and you say "Travis" and they say "Cool, i really like HIS music...") thought Travis was a one-man-band, and Fran wasn't having it.

The Boy, well you all know where it came from!

So if you look at it like that, it's coincedental

The title is 'The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat' by Oliver Sacks. I read it a couple of years ago, when I was in a bit of a Sacks-obsession. It's a very interesting, and seriously mindblowing book. It's non-fiction, though :)
