Absolutely common... lets just look at KISS's catalogue, if you will...

Dressed To Kill
Destroyer
Rock and Roll Over
Dynasty
Unmasked

Asylum
Hot in the Shade
Revenge

Dead common innit. Some career-long title-track abstainees if I'm not mistaken:

Talking Heads
Pet Shop Boys
New Order
R.E.M. apparently only succumbed last year.

This is far too common. We should turn this into an "Artists with title tracks on all their albums" thread.

What is the point of a Title Track? I suppose some times its fitting.

Goo comes close - track being "My Friend Goo"
