[edit] View From The Ground and naming conventions

Although many websites claim that America's 1982 album is called A View From The Ground, the very cover of the album (see below) does not feature any article before the name. The correct name is View From The Ground.

With regard to whether the "the" in the album title should be capitalized, it is worth noting that the Wikipedia naming conventions for music albums does not reflect the standard practice of perhaps the bible of pop music history, Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Hits and Top Pop Albums books. Whitburn, as well as most discography books of that ilk, tend to capitalize all words of an album title.
