Curious what everyone thinks are the Deftones best and worst song titles.
For me personally, I love Kimdracula, Be Quiet and Drive, Rx Queen, When Girls Telephone Boys, Acid Hologram, and You've Seen the Butcher. Most of these are very descriptive or intriguing. BQAD is definitely something chino's new wave influences would have come up with. Acid Hologram is just a bad ass phrase. Rx Queen and Kimdracula are odes to troublesome women. YSTB and WGTB are those lengthy titles that still subtle.
On the other hand, I still shake my head at Romantic Dreams - it's probably the laziest song title they could have come up with. It doesn't take you anywhere, and there's no finesse. I also thought Goon Squad is a silly title and maybe a bit of an insult to those that like deftones for their heavier stuff (presumably the so-called goons of their fanbase), which is a bit unfair. Also Riviere was straight up lifted from Abstrackt Keal Agram, which I thought was pretty lazy.
p.s. forgot my love for Minus Blindfold, Doomed User, and Phantom Bride - so many good ones.

I often use the name "Minus Blindfold" as a handle on numerous online forums and games. It is a pretty badass name.
Worst - Pink maggit
[Worst]
Pink Maggit is a pretty bad name for people who have never heard them I think. I was showing my friends some songs and one of them was like "Pink Maggit? That name though..." It kinda makes sense though. It's two things contrasting, like "Gore" and the flamingos. A maggot which could be seen as nasty and grotesque, and pink, which is a color that could be considered 'pretty'. It's how you look at it I guess, to me it's a pretty Deftonesy thing to do lol.
Prayers/Triangles is weird, reminds me of a djent band.
I've had a friend say that Lhabia is a weird song name (labia - vagina lips).
Another friend asked if "Hexagram" was a take on the evil "pentagram' lol.
U,U,D,D,L...Select,Start kinda threw me off at first until I realized that it's a cheat code from a video game or something. (Just did 2 minutes of research, apparently the code is wrong? Anyways..)
Other than that though, I can't think of anything that's 'bad' per-say. There's a lot of song titles I can think of that are really badass and cool.

Rivière is French for river, so I don't think it's a direct lift.
Anyway, my least favorite is Pink Cellphone. It's just boring when compared to their other titles.

Exactly, I feel u!
To be honest, I love most of their song titles because they're usually very creative and/or random-sounding. But I'll try.
Best:
- Geometric Headdress.
- Cherry Waves.
- Digital Bath.
- Phantom Bride.
Worst:
- Passenger.
- Bored.
- Rocket Skates.
To be honest, The titles on Gore...I don't like them fucking shitty ass phonies.

I'll agree with about half of those being good song titles. And yes, swerve city is a good song title. More so than fist and root that's for damn sure
Most of the working titles are purposefully bad, but there were a couple good ones:
Up On Blocks
Aria
The Late Great Planet Earth
You Hate Fun (alright, this one is more funny than good)
Comanche
Nylons & Suspenders

You don't even like Deftones, do you? Be honest, dude. Every post on here from you is negative. It's weird.
Wtf! I'm not a fanboy, for sure! And if you think I'm here to bait for fanboys reactions to my posts. I'm not.

The vast majority of your posts are negative. It seems common sense not to bother with the forum of a band you only really have negative things to say about.

So your point is that music taste is completely subjective and what one likes isn't measurable in any real tangible way?
You recognize this, yet continue to be intentionally insulting.
Amazing.
Sounds like a prime target for the ban hammer.
