It is not uncommon that album titles are chosen after the band`s name. However, song titles that include or are identical to the band`s name are relatively seldom found.
This is a list of song titles with the (entire) band name / band names after (their own) song titles.

Please feel free to suggest further titles/bands.

1.71TONMAN - 71TONMAN

Absolutely amazing year! The fact that a Dream Theater fanboy such as myself can't put their self titled release on the list either shows what a great year it was or how dissapointed I was with that album.

1.Ayreon - The Theory Of Everything

2.Tribulation - The Formulas Of Death

3.Frosttide - Awakening

4.Ghost - Infestissumam

5.In Vain - Ænigma

Albums from 2013 worth being considered for a replay, I'm already having trouble remembering some of them. I'll TRY to order them from the one I liked most to the least.
I'm taking a passive stand to this year's music since I'm dedicating myself to old records currently, so probably 3/4 of the stuff I checked out came to me from this site one way or another

1.Cult Of Luna - Vertikal

2.Corrections House - Last City Zero

3.Dreadnought - Lifewoven

4.Ayreon - The Theory Of Everything

5.Obscure Sphinx - Void Mother

Compiled for personal recollection as much as it is for public scrutiny, I hope this list leads you somewhere you want to go. No Order whatsoever. I'm using ♦ to rate the albums, there's really no scale, the more ♦ there is, the better I like the album.

1.The Ruins Of Beverast - Blood Vaults (The Blazing Gospel Of Heinrich Kramer)

2.Gris - À L'Âme Enflammée, L'Äme Constellée...

3.Witherscape - The Inheritance

4.Wormlust - The Feral Wisdom

5.Ulcerate - Vermis

Pretty self explanatory. Although I usually forget to keep these kinds of lists up all year so we'll see if I keep this one up all year or forget about this one too after a couple months...

*This list is not in order of preference, just the order in which I add the albums so as to make it easy to identify the most recently added albums.

1.Abyssal - Novit Enim Dominus Qui Sunt Eius

2.Amiensus - Restoration

3.Lascaille's Shroud - Interval 01: Parallel Infinities - The Inner Universe

4.Katalepsy - Autopsychosis

As usual, interesting albums of the year to be ranked and reviewed.

This time I'll make it easier for myself, and group weaker releases by genre as soon as I rate them. Expect only 5-3,5/5 to be ranked in order of preference, and possibly a 3,25 category if it's needed.

1.Torres - Torres

2.SubRosa - More Constant Than The Gods

3.Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Push The Sky Away

4.Procession - To Reap Heavens Apart

5.Obscure Sphinx - Void Mother
