Wasting time - band, album song names?

Doing some idle thinking, as one sometimes does...
Started pondering on the shortest combo of band, album and song name. Pretty quickly came up with U2, War, and "40" which seems pretty tough to beat.
Other entrants?

Then I got wondering about the longest combo of band, album and song names. That's a lot harder, especially if you just use your own knowledge and not Google.
About all I came up with was Red Hot Chili Peppers, Uplift Mojo Party Plan, and their cover of "Subterranean Homesick Blues."

What have you got?

Iron Butterfly, In A Gadda De Vida, In A Gadda De Vida.

Not as long as the RHCP you listed, but if we add length of the song I may be a winner.
 
Band: Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum
Album: Projecting the Singular Emission of the Doctrine of Absolute and All-Absorbing Evil…
Song: Apology ov Self-destruction in the Philippe Mainländer’s Doctrine ov Redemption as a thought which perpetually deepens from phenomenon to essence, is the only true judgment concerning the Highest Morals ov an Individual Will which confronts the Unconscious, it is also the nature ov struggle for Non-existence that is the ultimate opposition ov the world’s major landmarks, but it is not the antinomy to itself considering the logical excepting by the Reactionary Pessimism any other ethics that distorts the visualization ov the Spirit aspiration process towards the direction indicated by the Will to Death (translation provided by the band)
 
... which beats
Band: Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O.
Album: Dark Side of the Black Moon: What Planet Are We On?
Song: Astro Kama Sutra: Take Me to the Outer Limits
 
The manic street preachers : album : this is my truth, tell me yours : Hit song : If you tolerate this, then your children will be next.

Nice song by the way but certainly a hit score for the longest band / album / song combo.

For second place on the shortest combo, can anyone beat,

UFO, UFO 1, Evil

I didn't go with BTO or ELO as they are acronyms.

Is UFO not...? :unsure:

Don't recall the song titles off the top of my head, but Fiona Apple's 2nd album title is:

When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king
What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight
And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring
There's no body to batter when your mind is your might
So when you go solo, you hold your own hand
And remember that depth is the greatest of heights
And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land
And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right

The band name is not Unidentified Flying Object, it is UFO.

CCR is an acronym.
Yes, CCR is an acronym for the band's actual name, but even if UFO's official name is not Unidentified Flying Object, if they, or any other band, chooses an acronym for their name, it's still an acronym. REM's name isn't Rapid Eye Movement, but their name is still the acronym. There can be an acronym for a band's longer name, and a band's name can be just an acronym, but a band named after an acronym doesn't make the name not an acronym. 💯:)
