How do I get the list of nodes of a specific content type and their titles?
PLease try this-
This will load all published nodes of type event.

$query = new EntityFieldQuery();

$query-&gt;entityCondition('entity_type', 'node')
-&gt;entityCondition('bundle', 'event')
-&gt;propertyCondition('status', 1);

$result = $query-&gt;execute();

if (!empty($result['node'])) {
$nids = array_keys($result['node']);

foreach ($nids as $nid) {
$node = node_load($nid, NULL, TRUE);
// do something awesome
 }
}
