OK. Also trying to exclude albums named after a lyrical quote from one of the songs on the album.

1. Skylarking - XTC
2. Foxtrot - Genesis (although there are references to the fox in "Supper's Ready)
3. Woodface - Crowded House
4. Odessey & Oracle - The Zombies
5. Temple Of Low Men - Crowded House
6. OK Computer - Radiohead
7. No Sleep Til Famous - The Merrymakers
8. Together Alone - Crowded House
9. Free Peace Sweet - Dodgy (although it did contain a track named after their previous album, "Homegrown")
10.The Original Soundtrack - 10cc

Crowded House never named their albums after songs, which means they dominate this list.

2. Murmur
3. Spirit of Eden
4. The Piper At the Gates of Dawn

Uh, there's like, lots.

Tried to not include albums that have the same name as a song that's *not* on the album (eg. Disco Inferno's 'D.I. Go Pop'), and no self titled albums. That's just dumb.

In no order (and just at the moment):

The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour
Swell Maps - Jane from Occupied Europe
Soft Machine - Any of the first three
Capt. Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel - Nail (or Hole)
Montana Pete - Baige
The Residents - Fingerprince
Joy Division - Closer
Roy Montgomery - Silver Wheel of Prayer
H.D.U. - Fire Works

Quit glaring at Ian Riese-Moraine! He's mentally fraught! (Eastern Mantra), Thursday, 17 March 2005 03:19 (twenty years ago)

Wait, does "Eden" count as a sort of title track? I don't think it does, but if not, move those below it up on the list and make Throwing Muses - [untitled] number ten.
