50 years ago today on Friday the 13th.......

Black Sabbath, by Black Sabbath, off the album, Black Sabbath.

Off the top of my head, only Bad Co. has reproduced that feat for their first LP.

Hey, I think you're right, good catch. I'll have to see if I can think of any others when I have some free time......

^^^^^ Prompted me to look it up.

• "American Girl" (not the Tom Petty song), American Girls (no relation to the dolls), American Girls (1986), features the phrase, "American girl, an American girl." Better Than It Sounds.
• "Angel Witch", Angel Witch, Angel Witch.
• Downplayed with BABYMETAL, the album BABYMETAL and the song "BABYMETAL DEATH".
• "Bad Company", Bad Company, Bad Company.
• "Bang Camaro", Bang Camaro, Bang Camaro.
  • Lyrics: "Bang! Camarooooooo..." (repeats)
• The Beatles, tenth album by The Beatles, which ever since its release has been called The White Album
• "Black Sabbath", etc., etc.
• Averted by Blue Öyster Cult, whose self-titled song was not on their self-titled album, and was actually a retitling of their earlier song "Astronomy".
• "Carolina Rain", etc., etc.
• "Deep Forest," etc., etc.
• "Electric Wizard", etc., etc.
• "Star Trek: First Contact", First Contact Soundtrack, #10: First Contact.
• "The Grave Digger", so on and so forth.
• Gorillaz has their first album named Gorillaz (Album).
• "Hellyeah", Hellyeah, Hellyeah...HELL YEAH!
• "Iced Earth"... you know the drill.
• "Iron Maiden", from Iron Maiden. (Which features includes the track Iron Maiden.)
• "Iron Savior"
• Barely averted by King Crimson, with "In the Court of the Crimson King" from In the Court of the Crimson King.
  • King Crimson did this twice, actually. In 1981, having just changed their name back from "Discipline" to "King Crimson", they put out the album "Discipline" containing the tracks "Discipline" and "Indiscipline".
• "Living in a Box" from the album Living in a Box by the band ... wait for it ... Living in a Box .
• "Motörhead".
• Miyavi's 2013 album, Miyavi.
• For a particularly hellish example, "The Good, The Bad, And The Queen". According to the band's frontman, Damon Albarn, the band was nameless and TGTB&TQ was just the title of the album, but everyone ended up calling the band by the album's name for the sake of sanity.
• "Wilco (The Song)", Wilco, Wilco (The Album).
• "Buena Vista Social Club"... rinse and repeat.

• Before Green Day was Green Day, they were Sweet Children. Somehow it's become a bit debatable when it was recorded and released, but they do have an EP called Sweet Children with a song called Sweet Children.

Even still, on one of their other first few EPs they have a song called "Green Day".
