    The David Bowie 1969 album was indeed released as Space Oddity in 1972 after his breakout…but was first released in the US as Man of Words, Man of Music. So it actually has/had three names, which must be some kind of record for a, uh, record.

    The album title Steve McQueen was an association Paddy McAloon made between the motorbike on the cover and the American actor.
    So Two Wheels Good is not that odd because it still refers to the motorbike on the cover. I can see the joke behind it.
    Mike Oldfield's Platinum became Airborne in the US and Canada, replacing the album track Woodhenge by the single Guilty.

      This is a bit of a different category "Fan names for Famous Albums", like Beatles White Album, Metallica's Black Album, Jerry Garcia's "Wheels", etc. A lot of self titled albums that got nicknames, especially when artists had several self titled ones, like again Jerry Garcia' second solo album Compliments. I do not remember exactly when Chicago officially started to number their albums but I am sure that Chicago II was originally just named Chicago (The first being Chicago Transit Authority) - I cannot swear on Chicago III.

    It wasn't an American band that forced Suede to change their name - it was an East Coast hotel lounge singer named Suzanne Debronkart. The suit was seedy, she had approval over the new name, & it pretty much killed Suede's momentum in the states at a pinnacle moment in their rise. "The London Suede" is simply unmarketable. It also made touring the US a near-impossibility. So the best UK band of the 1990s gave up on the US altogether & remains a band for the insatiable die-hards.

    The New Zealand band Shihad changed its name to Pacifier in 2002 at the suggestion of its US management team who apparently thought very little of the band's potential fan base in their own country. But they failed to cultivate a fan base there, so it was all for nothing.
    Hunters & Collectors' album What's a Few Men was called Fate in the US because of the fear that it was too obscure a reference (Albert Facey's memoir A Fortunate Life, which was and is a popular book over here, but I doubt the album's success swung any more on whether people knew or cared about it here than over there). The tracklist is also different, with a few songs swapped out for some that are supposedly more universal. When one of their US people heard the new song Back on the Breadline, he asked "what's a breadline?"

      The Canadian Bush were led by Domenic Troiano, who is best known internationally as a latter-day member of the Guess Who (50% of all adult Canadian males have been a member of the Guess Who at some point in their lives). They only released a single album in the early 70s, which bombed. They had been well and truly forgotten about, but Troiano was in the process of remastering and reissuing that album when Sixteen Stone was about to be released. The injunction was never intended to be permanent. In case you were wondering whether the injunction was a cash grab, Troiano eventually *did* allow Rossdale and gang to amicably purchase the Canadian rights to the name Bush... in exchange for Rossdale et al. making a donation to a charity. Troiano never pocketed a cent off of the British Bush.
