Challenge... Can you name an artist/group/album/song... All with the same name?
The closest I have ever been able to come is Big Country, singing In a Big Country, from the album Big Country. Can anyone do any better? I've been challenged to name one a few times when passing time with my sister, but neither of us have ever been able to come up with one. Anybody have any thoughts?

The Monkees "(Theme from) The Monkees" The Monkees Iron Maiden "Iron Maiden" Iron Maiden Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath" Black Sabbath There are a few more! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |

Bad Company - "Bad Company" Anthrax - "Anthrax" Blue Oyster Cult - "Blue Oyster Cult" Brand Nubian - "Brand Nubian" Mr.Big - "Mr. Big" That's all that I could come up with so far. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

I'm sorry to say these songs only fit 2 of the three criteria. They don't come from albums of the same name (at least not according to my allmusic searches) However, Bad Company does! Awesome, thanks. "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring faith.

I don't think I can count the Monkees one (maybe I can get away with it)... But Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden are awesome! Thanks! Not only does it fit the criteria, they are both well known bands. You and Shorttrini gave me 3 rounds of ammo for the next challenge. I love this site. "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring faith.

Awesome, thanks. Mr. Big, does Brand Nubian does Antrhrax does They are all songs that come from albums by artist of the same name. Which one doesn't?

The song "Icehouse" by Icehouse from their 1981 album Icehouse... although upon it's original 1980 release the band were named "Flowers"
A close one is the band Take That, they had a song called Take That & Party from the album of the same name. | |

And no album called Brand Nubian. Allmusic may not be correct though, this is just based on my search. Has to be song, artist, album -- all the same name. "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance.

A lot of artists have self-titled albums, but is there a title track? And vice versa. BOC have an album AND a song with the same name, all in one package? | |

Chic had a lot of names like that.
First album was called Chic, with a song called "Est-Ce Que C'est Chic?". Second album was C'est Chic, with a track called "Chic Cheer". | |
