In retrospect, it's fairly easy for us to look back and say, "the album should have been named (insert the name of your favorite song)." But in all fairness, especially with his earlier work, he really had no clue what would, or wouldn't be a hit, and end up as the 'theme song' of an album. Take Sit Down Young Stranger, for example. IYCRMM was a big hit, and the album name was changed soon after it's release.
And there are probably personal reasons why Gord chooses album names, some of which we'll probably never know.
