orbital, led zepellin - or is that cheating?

Orbital, yes. Led Zeppelin, not really. The fourth album's title was those four symbols, wasn't it?

Diana Ross had two albums titled "Diana Ross" and two albums titled "Ross". Plus she had an album titled "Diana!" and the classic "Diana".

I think the Grateful Dead put out albums with the titles "The Grateful Dead" & "Grateful Dead".

True re the Dead -- although one is commonly known as "Skull & Roses"

Gal Costa released two s/t albums, and in the same year too.

― erklie (erklie), Monday, 22 May 2006 18:15 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm. When I said The Pooh Sticks I meant Tindersticks.

Cheap Trick. Eponymous debut in 1977. Eponymous comeback album in 1997.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 22 May 2006 21:52 (twenty years ago)

Diana Ross had two albums titled "Diana Ross" and two albums titled "Ross". Plus she had an album titled "Diana!" and the classic "Diana".

LL Cool J's having a run at this variation too, with "Mr. Smith" and now "Todd Smith." Watch out for "James Todd Smith," dropping August 15th 2013!

Has anyone done this without the title being either eponymous or non-existent?

Chubby Checker comes amusingly close:

1962 Don't Knock The Twist
1962 For Teen Twisters Only
1962 For Twisters Only
1962 Let's Twist Again
1962 Twist With Chubby Checker
1962 Twistin' Round The World
1962 Your Twist Party
1963 Beach Party
1963 Limbo Party
1963 Let's Limbo Some More

wow Chubby... 7 albums in a year... makes muslimgauze look like Scott Walker.

What! Geir? You haven't mentioned Chicago in yr first post?

Or do 'number' editions not count?

(none had the number on the front, so I vote it in)

Of course they don't. There have never been two Chicago albums with the exact same title.

No one's going to top Peter Gabriel. Weezer has those two self-titled ones though. And then you have things like Liquid Swords and Legends of the Liquid Sword or whatever, which seems likely to mainly just confuse people in a way that I don't think anyone's really confused about Led Zeppelin I versus III. (See also the two "Protect Ya Neck" tracks.)

The House of Love top Gabriel...

more difficult version: Acts that have released at least two albums with the exact same album title, that aren't self-titled

― a.b. (alanbanana), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 18:38 (twenty years ago)

There may some acts out there with two different albums named, for instance, "Greatest Hits", "The Best Of", "Anthology" or "The Singles". :)

Sun Ra - Space is the Place
