I've read about the dog album.....R&F were toying with things like "the two headed dog", and a roadie suggested "dog of two head". Where the dog came from in the first place I don't know!
On The Level was because Francis thought Quo was "unbalanced"
Perfect Remedy - partly due to the song, also a reference to the changes in sound following fan criticism of AC.
As far as I know, most of the albums not named after a song remain generally unexplained - good topic!

1+9+8+2 because the year and the numbers added up to 20 for their 20th anniversary

Blue for You was probably because they had signed a deal with Levi's to promote their Denim...they were all wearing it on the cover.

'Quo' probably because it was the second word of the band's name...

Whatever You Want was going to be 'As It Was' or 'As It Is'? can't remember but As It Was seems more fitting because of their previous 2 albums, sort of saying we're going back to how we were

The naming of albums after song titles is just lazy, imo....

1+9+8+2 because the year and the numbers added up to 20 for their 20th anniversary I thought it was 1 for how many time you played it. 9 for how many seconds you played Jealousy before skipping it. 8 for how many "Fucksakes" said when it was all done. And 2 for how many attempts it took to snap it.

IYCSTH was originally Cop This Shit. Just Supposin' was originally called Just Supposin This Is Anything Like We Sounded In 74.

'Just supposin'" is a line in the lyrics of "What You're Proposing".
