Where the song title, album title, and artist name are all identical. This is something relatively rare and I’m curious how many there really are. How many can you name?
The song title goes in double quote marks, the album title is italicized, and the artist name is neither.
I started a thread like this several years ago, and it pops up as a zombie every so often. I don’t have time to search for it now but I’ll try to post a link later if someone else doesn’t beat me to it.
I remember being 12, watching MTV, and noticing the video for “Talk Talk,” by Talk Talk, on the album Talk Talk. The album part was disputed in Shoeless’s thread, but that’s how MTV displayed it at the start and end of the video.
This may be cheating a bit, since the album Bo Diddley, released in 1958, was a compilation album, collecting several of Diddley’s songs that had originally been released as singles. The song “Bo Diddley” had first been released in 1955. But it is included on Bo Diddley the album, and performed by Bo Diddley the singer.
As a bonus, that album also includes another song called “Hey! Bo Diddley.” And that’s not even counting the song “Diddley Daddy.” Guy really liked his name.
“Black Sabbath” by Black Sabbath, from the album Black Sabbath.
"Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden, from the album Iron Maiden.
“Motörhead” by Motörhead, from the album Motörhead.
According to wiki, the album is ‘The Party’s Over.’
Icehouse’s first album is Icehouse, with a song titled Icehouse. I actually thought the song was closer to ‘No Love (Inside the Icehouse)’ but wiki disagrees.
