It is finally time to anwer the age old question. What comes first for you music makers, the song, or the song title?

Yeah that's right. A great title will inspire a good song if you make a picture in your mind of what the title suggest to you and then make the music to go with it.
A great tune without a title makes you think of a great title for it in the same kind of way.
Therefore a good title always means the song should be good either way.
I think...

for me, if i come up with the name, then i get certain sounds in my head. i have no musical experience, therefore making songs off names is difficult.
most of my songs are untitled.
i get names from the way the song sounds. "death of a viking" "cloptic beats" "coming home" "dead crabs on the beach"

i do things the other way around... make the song, then listen to it a couple of times then whatever the song reminds me of or sounds like is what the title shall be.

Speaking from a non-electronic viewpoint... it depends. Me and my friends made up ten albums worth of song titles by being stoned picking up on amusing phrases.... then I joined a stoner/punk band and used a lot of em and wrote songs around em. But as a guitarist, it all depends... a title might inspire a riff, or vise versa...

Alot of our song titles come from some dumb sources like the movie Kazaam with shaq! In one of his raps he says something like, "my name, squareoctagenerial". So we thought that was cool and used it. Oh, and then there is Septopuss but that is a different story altogether ;P

i usually come up with song titles and songs seperately...i'll see or think up some phrase and think "that would make a neat song title.." and ill remember it so when i actually finish a song ...i'll go through the list in my head and pick the title that best fits the song..
other times i'll finish a song and look through the dictionary or something for ideas
