96. Teen Dream by Beach House (sort of)

no

"Massively Famous" is stretching it but I think more of J Geils than Wes Montgomery when I hear the title Full House

96?

95. Blood, Sweat and Tears - Johnny Cash

94. Deep Purple - Nino Tempo & April Stevens

93. Monster by Fetchin Bones

99 : Thriller - Eddie and the Hot Rods

92: Thriller - Swoop

90: Thriller - !!!

89. Hell bent for Leather - Frankie Laine

88. Tapestry - Don McLean

album titles that got used by someone else first

first

87 : erotica : the darling buds

Cheating a bit cos the Spice Girls didn't use it as an album title, but:

86. Girl Power - Shampoo

wait, husker du (a band named after a board game) also named one of their albums after a board game? was that some sort of intentional in-joke?

and one of the tracks on it is called games i guess

Slight derail, I always find it very odd when bands give songs the same name as previous undisputed classics. Like why the hell would you name a song Come Together (Spiritualized) or Stand By Me (Oasis)?

Oasis also nicked the title of an obscure George Harrison song for one of their albums (the only one with a "Title Track")

Pure trollery: The Beatles - Let It Be

xp hey I like that Spiritualized song! and frankly, the last thing 90s brit-rock needed was more awestruck deference to the Beatles

I came in here to post Charles Mingus Astral Weeks but then a quick internet search pointed out that it's a bootleg, of which nobody can seem tell me the original 'release date' (rec. 1964 during legendary European tour--see also Jazz Icons: Charles Mingus live DVD)

I find spiritualized to be perhaps the dullest band who have ever existed so I'm mainly nitpicking.

There are two "Ko-Ko"s, Duke Ellington's in 1940, and then Charlie Parker's in 1945. Completely different pieces of music, and Ellington's was certainly well-known when Parker recorded his.

Nirvana (UK) - In Utero (1969)

There are like 7 songs called Come Together. Think Spz's might be the best one tho

The Ink Spots - Greatest Hits

Looking through Rate Your Music's Complation charts for various years, this is the earliest example, 1959, that I can find of an artist simply calling a compilation "Greatest Hits" without even having a "'s" or "'" after the artist's name.

according to discogs the title is "the inkspots' greatest hits"

"ink spots" rather

So, I guess there's not that many of these
