Same Name Challenge: Band and Song

Soul Edition:

Kool and the Gang
Earth Wind and Fire

 

He probably did tell the truth, but LiaB seems like the perfect vehicle for a lie. Obscure enough that it's hard to verify, but famous enough to have some "impress" factor!

 

Them - The Story of Them
Ground Hogs - Ground Hog
Pretty Things - Pretty Thing

 

Night Ranger had a song called "Night Ranger" on their Dawn Patrol album.

 

On a side note: Could George Harrisons Dark Horse be the only time the LP, the Song, and the label were identical?

 

Interesting that EWF had a self-titled album and a self-titled song... but the song wasn't on that album!

KatG had the true trifecta!

 

Dr Feelgood and the Interns- Dr Feelgood
Mandrill - Mandrill

 

I suspect that Electrified People might be session musicians, and not a genuine band.

 

Bad Company - Bad Company - Bad Company
Bo Didley - Bo Didley
Public Enemy - Public Enemy No. 1
Bad Religion - Bad Religion
Porno for Pyros - Porno for Pyros
45 Grave - 45 Grave
Madness - Madness
General Public - General Public
Beastie Boys - Beastie Boys
Sofa Surfers - Sofa Surfers

(honourable mentions…)
Ramones - R.A.M.O.N.E.S.
DJ Shadow - DJ Shadow’s Theme
Squarepusher - Squarepusher Theme
DEVO - Devo Corporate Anthem

(I'm gonna use this thread to create a new playlist for myself! >> "Randomly Eponymous")

 

Tin Machine - Tin Machine - "Tin Machine"

 

Slowdive

 

Gentle Giant (band) - Gentle Giant (album) - Giant (song) so not quite the trifecta.

 

"Nashville West" by Nashville West from the Nashville West album, recorded live at Nashville West.

 

Van Dyke Parks/Van Dyke Parks. A solo artist, not a band.

 

Doesn’t have to be all three - band and song but all three is all the better.

 

I didn’t even consider a solo artist going this route - cool.

 

The Band The Band

The TV show Classic Albums did an episode on this once for which the listing read:

The Band, The Band. The Band’s The Band,

 

two, 1975:
Queen, KILLER QUEEN
Firefly, HEY LITTLE FIREFLY
(second is rather obscure, okay, and not entirely qualifying for obvious reasons..)

Bad Company, BAD COMPANY.

 

Looks like the song name was Jesus Couldn’t Drum.

 

I got nothing

 

Belle & Sebastian
They Might Be Giants

 

The Outlaws - The Outlaw (from Soldiers of Fortune 1986). That probably the longest wait til naming the sang just like the band (it is their 9th record!)

 

not sure what you mean , the band is called JCD and they have a song by the same name
the "sorry, how is this the same" refered to another post

 

October Country - band, song, album

 

Jilted John by Jilted John
A very funny UK novelty hit in the late 70's.
