* Music/HundredGecs: The titles of most of the releases by the duo are a multiple of 100 followed by gecs, with their first EP being a SelfTitledAlbum, their first studio album being ''1000 gecs'', and ''10,000 gecs'' being the second one.
* The score for ''Film/BatmanBegins'' is titled idiosyncratically: the first track, "Vespertilio", is the Latin word for bat, and the other titles are all scientific names for different genera of bat. This is not the case for ''Film/TheDarkKnight'''s music; however, many of the track titles are either taken from lines of dialogue in the film, or a slight variation on them: "I'm Not A Hero", "Blood On My Hands", "And I Thought My Jokes Were Bad", "Like A Dog Chasing Cars"; etc. However, it's noteworthy that the lines of dialogue spoken do not correspond to the scenes in which the music plays. For example, "Like A Dog Chasing Cars", an energetic treatment of one of the main themes, is not played over the scene where the line is spoken, which is a quiet conversation with the Joker. In fact, it's not even played over any of the scenes involving high-speed vehicular chases, which mostly go without score.
* The band Music/NewOrder frequently have [[NonAppearingTitle song titles that do not appear in the lyrics and have nothing to do with the song]] such as "Temptation," "True Faith," "Blue Monday," or "Bizarre Love Triangle."
** Music/{{Nirvana}} and Music/TheSmashingPumpkins are also experts in this.
* Christopher Young's album of his score for ''Hush'' has the following tracklisting: "Hush," "Little Baby," "Don't Say A Word," "Mama's Gonna Buy," "You" and "A."
* Music/DannyElfman has written a cue called "Weepy Donuts" for every Creator/GusVanSant film he's scored.
** Also, many of his ''Film/{{Batman|1989}}''-era scores (including ''Batman'') have a track called "The Final Confrontation."
* All the tracks for Music/JerryGoldsmith's ''Link'' have titles ending with "Link," e.g. "Main Link," "Swinging Link," "Mighty Link," and, of course, "End Link."
* Each song on Music/TheMountainGoats's 2009 album ''The Life of the World to Come'' is named after a Bible verse (or, in two cases, a set of verses). The verses in question are either quoted/paraphrased in the song (e.g. in "Romans 10:9" and "Psalms 40:2") or are otherwise relevant to the characters described.
** Their next album, 2011's ''All Eternals Deck,'' also conforms to this trope: all its songs have three-word titles.
* Between [[TheSeventies 1972 and 1977]], the band Music/{{America}} had seven consecutive album titles that started with the letter H. The group used used six more non-consecutive H titles since then.
* Music/{{Queen|Band}} named two consecutive albums after Creator/MarxBrothers films: ''Film/ANightAtTheOpera'' and ''Film/ADayAtTheRaces1937''.
* Music/PeterGabriel initially wanted all of his solo albums to simply be named ''[[SelfTitledAlbum Peter Gabriel]]'', as if they were issues of a magazine. The label let him get away with that for three albums, but then his American label at the time, Creator/GeffenRecords, named his fourth album ''Music/{{Security}}'' themselves and told Peter to knock it off. ''Music/{{Car}}'', ''Music/{{Scratch}}'' and ''Music/{{Melt}}'' have now become the albums' respective titles on streaming services.
** Since then, most of his studio albums have featured two-letter words as their titles, and other releases such as ''[[GreatestHitsAlbum Hit]]'' and ''OVO'' have been quite tersely named as well.
* Extreme metal band Music/DimmuBorgir tend toward three-word album titles that are often quite nonsensical: ''Enthrone Darkness Triumphant'', ''Godless Savage Garden'', ''Spiritual Black Dimensions'', ''Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia'', ''Death Cult Armageddon''.
** This is spoofed in the ''[[http://www.edu.lahti.fi/~mkkauppi/ 101 Rules of Black Metal]]'' (rule 87).
* Death metal band Music/MorbidAngel consistently have their ''n''th album staring with the ''n''th letter of the alphabet. Straight from their first, ''Altars of Madness'', to their ninth, ''Illud Divinum Insanus''.
* Progressive Doom Metal band, Madder Mortem, use their name as an acronym for the titles of their albums: M - ''Mercury'', A - ''All Flesh is Grass'', D - ''Deadlands'', D - ''Desiderata''...
* ¡Forward, Russia! used to give all their songs numeric titles in order of writing. This ended after their album ''Give Me A Wall''.
* House producer Friend Within names all of his original tracks "The _____" (e.g. "The Renegade", "The Mechanism", "The Underground")
* Most albums by Music/{{Chicago}} are called "Chicago" followed by the number of the album.
* Music/{{Asia}}'s studio albums were all named with a word beginning and ending with "a" up until the eighth one, ''Rare''.
* British folk-rocker John Wesley Harding (aka Wesley Stace) named several of his albums after Frank Capra movies: ''It Happened One Night'', ''Here Comes The Groom'', ''Why We Fight''. Another one, ''The Name Above The Title'', was named after Capra's autobiography.
* Progressive metal band Music/DreamTheater named their sixth and eighth albums ''Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence'' and ''Octavarium'', respectively. In addition, ''Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence'' had six songs and ''Octavarium'' eight.
** Some fans also think that ''Train of Thought'' contains a subtle nod to leetspeak (not surprising considering how warmly the band references things such as the John Petrucci Psycho Exercises dubs), as the letter T is usually represented by a 7. This was their seventh studio album and contains seven songs.
* Boys Night Out's ''Trainwreck'' album had all its songs named (verb)-ing such as 'Dreaming', 'Waking', 'Medicating' etc.
* Global Communication's magnum opus ''76:14'' had all its tracks named after the length of the song much like the album name itself (being 76 minutes and 14 seconds long. The reasoning is they didn't want to influence anyone's interpretation of the songs by naming them a certain way.
* Music/{{BROCKHAMPTON}}'s first three albums all have similar title structures for each album. Every song title on ''SATURATION'' is four letters long ("HEAT", "GOLD", "STAR") except for the final track, "WASTE". Every song on ''SATURATION II'' is five letters ("GUMMY", "QUEER", "JELLO") except for the final track, "SUMMER", and ''SATURATION III'' finishes it off with six letter titles ("BOOGIE", "ZIPPER", "JOHNNY"), except for the final track, "TEAM". The four letter title of the final track on the final installment of the ''SATURATION'' trilogy calls back to the song titles on the first ''SATURATION'', representing a cycle of sorts.
* Music/AphexTwin's ''Music/ICareBecauseYouDo'' features several anagrams of "Aphex Twin", "The Aphex Twin" and "Richard David James", such as "Wax the Nip" and "The Waxen Pith".
** ''Hangable Auto Bulb'', released in the same year, also has several tracks named after Aphex-related anagrams. The anagrams here are mostly cases of SpellMyNameWithAnS, like how the EP's title itself is an anagram of "Analogue Bublbath" (correctly spelled as "Analogue Bubblebath").
** Similarly, his ''Music/SelectedAmbientWorksVolumeII'' is named by pictures instead of words. The songs are based on lucid dreams and the pictures associated all tie into it. It's kinda unnerving but also really cool.
** A good deal of the songs released in the ''Analord'' series of 12" singles are named after viruses or malicious software, or else named to sound like viruses ("Backdoor.Ranky.S" for instance) - apparently this was something of a prank on those who would try to find them on filesharing programs.
** ''Every song'' in Richard's discography from ''Music/{{Syro}}'' onward features unusual titles presumed to be the original file names for the tracks, like "4 bit 9d api+e+6 [126.26]" and "[=DISKPREPT1=]". Very few of them use proper capitalization, opting instead for titles with AllLowercaseLetters or all caps.
* Music/{{KMFDM}} album titles have been five letters long since ''UAIOE'' up to ''Hau Ruck'' (originally ''FUBAR''), which broke the chain. Hell, KMFDM even ''misspelled'' words to keep the chain moving (''Attak'', ''Xtort''), and ''Tohuvabohu'' came close to resuming the tradition with five syllables, but it wasn't until ''Blitz'' when the tradition resumed.
* Punk band SNFU makes sure each of their album titles has exactly seven words. They currently have eight studio albums, one live album and one compilation album, starting with 1986's ''...And No One Else Wanted to Play'' through 2013's ''Never Trouble Trouble Until Trouble Troubles You''. The sole exception being the 1996 album ''[[InitialismTitle FYULABA]]'', which instead had seven letters, [[ExecutiveMeddling because they were not allowed to use the original title]], which according to the band stood for "Fuck You Up Like A Bad Accident".
* All the song titles on German singer Annett Louisan's debut album ''Boheme'' follow the pattern (article/noun) - "Das Spiel" (the game), "Das Gefühl" (the feeling) etc., with the [[OddNameOut sole exception]] of "Daddy".
* Almost every release by Music/TheJesusLizard has a 4 letter, one syllable title, the exception being one self-titled EP. This naming practice was also used for two {{live album}}s (''Show'' and ''Club'') and even a coffee table book (''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Book]]'').
** All releases by the Foetus moniker for Music/JGThirlwell, aka "That guy who does the music for ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''," are titled the exact same way.
** Music/{{Belly|Band}} use four letter nouns for album titles - ''Star'', ''King'' and ''Dove''.
* Music/OfMontreal's demo collection ''The Early Four Track Recordings'': Evidently none of the songs were given proper titles when they were recorded, so the track listing consists of [[NonAppearingTitle non-appearing titles]] that form a surreal story about the misadventures of Dustin Hoffman ("Dustin Hoffman Does Not Resist Temptation to Eat the Bathtub," "Dustin Hoffman's Wife Comes Home", "Dustin Hoffman's Wife Seems Suspicious About the Absent Bathtub", etc).
* Parodied in ''Film/AMightyWind'' with Kingston Trio/Weavers/Limeliters pastiche The Folksmen. Their first 5 albums all have single word gerund titles with a missing final "g", such as ''Pickin' '' and ''Wishin' ''. Their 6th album, ''Saying Something'', breaks this trend (as well as using electric instruments for the first time); and is described (in a cut scene) by the band as the reason they lost their fanbase.
** Perhaps they were inspired by Music/MilesDavis' late-'50s quintet albums, which were titled ''Cookin' '', ''Relaxin' '', ''Steamin' '', and ''Workin' ''.
* Japanese BlackMetal band Music/{{Sigh}} do this with their major releases. Each one begins with one of the letters of the band's name, in order: ''Scorn Defeat'', ''Infidel Art'', ''Ghastly Funeral Theatre'', ''Hail Horror Hail'', ''Scenario [=IV=]: Dead Dreams'', ''Imaginary Sonicscape'', ''Gallows Gallery'', ''Hangman's Hymn'', ''Scenes from Hell'', ''In Somniphobia'', ''Graveward'', ''Heir to Despair'', and ''Shiki''.
* All of Soul-Junk's releases are named after years. His first album was ''1950''; every subsequent album has counted up (''1951'', ''1952'', and so on) while his EP's have counted down (''1949'', ''1948'', etc).
* On Gileah & the Ghost Train's self-titled album, all the track titles begin with "The"; eight of the ten song titles are, aside from the definite article, only one word long; and they're all arranged in alphabetical order.
* Music/{{Blur}}'s {{Britpop}} trilogy of albums began with ''Modern Life is Rubbish'' and ''Parklife''; it was planned that the third album would also have "life" in the name, but this trope was {{averted|Trope}} when Alex James suggested ''The Great Escape'' instead.
* The first four Music/CoheedAndCambria albums' names correspond to the album's place in the mythos: ''The '''Second''' Stage Turbine Blade''; ''In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: '''3''' ''; and both ''Good Apollo I'm Burning Star '''IV'''''s. The following album, ''Year of the Black Rainbow'' (a prequel), [[OddNameOut subverts this completely]], but it should be noted, however, that the first track on the album is entitled "One".
* [[Film/AnvilTheStoryOfAnvil Anvil]] have so far given all of their studio albums a three-word title with alliteration on the first and third words. Examples include ''Forged in Fire'' and ''Plugged in Permanent''. In fact, the only exception in their entire discography is a compilation called ''Backwaxed''.
* J-Rock band Do As Infinity likes this. The first letter of every major release is always the same as the last letter of the previous album. So far, they have: ''Break of Dawn'', ''New World'', ''Deep Forest'', ''True Song'', ''Gates of Heaven'', ''Need Your Love'', ''Eternal Flame''.
* Not everyone does this, but this also happens with the sides of an album (on vinyl or cassette). While the majority of albums are labeled "Side 1/A" and "Side 2/B", a number of albums have gotten creative with this. (see also DistinctDoubleAlbum) Among ''many'' examples are:
** Albums that feature a picture on one side and a tracklist on the other; because the picture side is unlabeled, it is typically referred to on the tracklist side as "Other Side" or "That Side"; the side with the tracklist, meanwhile, is typically labeled "This Side". Examples of this include ''Music/{{Crises}}'' by Music/MikeOldfield and ''Music/TrueStories'' by Music/TalkingHeads.
** The Music/DonMcLean album ''Music/AmericanPie'', which labels its sides as "One Side" and "Another Side".
** Music/GunsNRoses' debut album ''Appetite For Destruction'' with "Side G" and "Side R" (standing for "GNR", an acronym for the name of the band)
** Most Music/{{REM}} albums save for ''Music/AroundTheSun'' and ''Music/{{Accelerate}}''. The band got pretty creative with it, too: among other examples, ''Music/FablesOfTheReconstruction'' labeled itself after each end of the EitherOrTitle ("A Side -- Fables of the Reconstruction" and "Another Side -- "Reconstruction of the Fables"), ''Music/LifesRichPageant'' had "Dinner" and "Supper" sides, and ''Music/{{Green}}'' had "Air" and "Metal" sides to tie in with its GreenAesop themes (and the original, scrapped plan for a half-electric, half-acoustic album). Even the single "Stand" was divided between "Pinwheel" and "Compass" sides, both in name and in label designs.
** Music/CheapTrick's debut had the sides labeled Side 1 and Side A, as a joke about there not being any "B material" on the album. This actually led to some confusion when it was first released on CD: though the initial CD release put the tracks in the order they were listed in on the record's back cover, it apparently started with what the band considered the second "side" of the album. A later reissue altered the running order accordingly.
** The double album ''Double Nickels On The Dime'' by Music/{{Minutemen}} had Side D, Side Mike, Side George and Side Chaff. The first 3 sides are named after the band members, as they organized the album by having members pick their favorite songs in the manner of a sports team drafting players. The "Chaff" side was all the songs no one picked for their side of the album.
** Music/BlueOysterCult's ''Music/TyrannyAndMutation'' contains the song "The Red and the Black". The sides were labeled "The Red" and "The Black". The "Red" side was labeled with [=CBS=] Records' usual red label with black lettering, but the "Black" side featured red lettering on a black background.
** Similarly, Music/{{Queen|Band}}'s ''Music/QueenII'' featured a "Side White" and a "Side Black", with each side respectively containing the tracks "White Queen (As It Began)" and "March of the Black Queen". LP reissues by Creator/HollywoodRecords and [[Creator/VirginRecords Virgin EMI]] even color-code the disc labels for the two sides, and a double-LP reissue divided the two sides on appropriately-colored vinyl.
** Music/TheKentuckyHeadhunters labeled the two sides of their debut album ''Pickin' on Nashville'' "Over Here" and "Over Yonder" instead of 1/2 or A/B. Their next album, ''Electric Barnyard'', had "Steppin' in It" and "Walkin' Through It".
** The CD version of the double album ''Music/TheFragile1999'' by Music/NineInchNails has a "Left" disc and a "Right" disc rather than disc one and disc two-- the titles refer to where each disc is oriented when you open up the case.
** One vinyl side of Music/{{Wings}}'s 1979 album ''Back To The Egg'' was subtitled "Sunny Side Up", the other being "Over Easy". Appropriately, each side's disc label contains an image of an egg prepared in accordance with the name.
** ''Music/MellonCollieAndTheInfiniteSadness'' by Music/TheSmashingPumpkins has the CD version spanning two discs, entitled "Dawn to Dusk" and "Twilight to Starlight". The vinyl edition instead has the songs differently arranged over three records, with each side being named (in order) "Dawn", "Tea Time", "Dusk", "Twilight", "Midnight", and "Starlight".
** Music/JoyDivision's 1979 debut album ''Music/UnknownPleasures'' labeled the sides "Outside" and "Inside". Conversely, their second and final album ''Music/{{Closer}}'' didn't label the sides at all, with the only indications of which side was which being etchings in the runout area.
** Music/NewOrder's early releases continued the practice from their Joy Division days before quickly dropping it. ''Music/{{Movement}}'' was split between "Movement 1" and "Movement 2", the "Procession" single listed "SOFT" and "HARD" sides in the runout groove, and the LP release of ''Music/PowerCorruptionAndLies'' took after ''Closer'' in distinguishing the sides simply through "A" and "B" etchings in the same area (though the disc labels at least had tracklists to go off of this time).
** Creator/FactoryRecords' 1978 sampler double EP ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A Factory Sampler]]'' decides to take a punny angle, labeling each side "Aside", "Beside", "Seaside", and "Decide".
** Music/FrankieGoesToHollywood's ''Welcome to the Pleasuredome'' indulged in this trope in two different ways at the same time: each of the four sides are not only named after each one of the band's initials, but also a variant of the same base phrase. In order, you get "F - Pray Frankie Pray", "G - Say Frankie Say", "T - Stay Frankie Stay", and "H - Play Frankie Play".
** The double-LP release of Music/{{Radiohead}}'s ''Music/OKComputer'' names each side after a word in the counting rhyme "Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Moe." When the 2017 ''OKNOTOK'' reissue added a third LP of bonus material, the naming scheme was changed to another counting rhyme, "Ip Dip." ''Music/KidA'' meanwhile named each side on the double-10" release after the first four letters of the Greek alphabet.
** Music/YellowMagicOrchestra's ''Music/{{BGM}}'' and ''Music/{{Technodelic}}'', being companion pieces to one another released in the same year, both list the two sides "Face ⌊•" and "Face ⌊••" on their initial Japanese LP releases.
** The double-CD release of Cacola's ''Ruby Rose'' names its two discs "Ruby" and "Ruby Rose", respectively. The "Ruby" disc also contains a single rose on the label, while the "Ruby Rose" disc has two.
** The LP release of Music/KingCrimson's ''Music/ThreeOfAPerfectPair'' is divided between a "Left Side" and a "Right Side". The bonus tracks on the 2001 remaster are further designated as "The Other Side".
** The double-LP release of the Music/BlueManGroup's third studio album, ''Three'', labels its sides using silhouettes of the band. Side one contains one silhouette, side two features two silhouettes, side three features silhouettes of the full trio, and side four features silhouettes of the trio and a giraffe.
** The original UK release of Music/TheFallBand's ''The Wonderful and Frightening World of...'' subtitles Side 1 as the "Frightening" side and Side 2 as the "Wonderful" side. The subtitles seem to suggest a [[DistinctDoubleAlbum distinct single album]], with the "Frightening" side being the more PunkRock and GarageRock influenced songs, and the "Wonderful" side being relatively softer and more melodic.
* Thus far, Music/{{Adele}} has a pattern of naming her albums after the age she was when she recorded them. Accordingly, her debut was called ''19'', the follow-up was ''Music/TwentyOne'', and the one after that was ''25'', and the one after ''that'' was ''30''.
* As the title implies, [[Music/{{Minutemen}} Mike Watt's]] album ''Hyphenated-Man'' has song titles that are all hyphenated phrases ending in the word man: "Belly-Stabbed-Man" and "Own-Horn-Blowing-Man" for instance. The song titles seem slightly less weird when you find out they're also all descriptions of figures in Creator/HieronymusBosch paintings.
* Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling's songs are all titled after episodes of ''Series/{{The Prisoner|1967}}'', preceded by an "episode number" (which corresponds to the order of episodes of the show, not the order of the songs): "Episode 1 - Arrival" for instance. This is unsurprising, since all of their songs are actually about ''The Prisoner''. The only exception thus far is a cover of Music/LeonardCohen's "First We Take Manhattan".
* [[Music/TheEagles Joe Walsh]] apparently used a "too lazy/stoned to come up with a decent title" theme for his albums. The apex of this would be ''You Bought It, You Name It'', which was reportedly his response to a record company executive who asked what the album was called. However, he never sank to the level of Music/{{Yes}}, who titled ''90125'' after its catalog number.
* Almost all of Richard Hawley's studio albums are named after places in his hometown of Sheffield. The one that isn't, ''Late Night Final'', still fits the general theme, since "Late night final" is something vendors selling the Sheffield Star evening newspaper would yell.
* Every song title on ''I'' by Music/TheMagneticFields starts with the letter I, and the track list is also arranged in alphabetical order. Rather than having this concept in mind beforehand though, Stephen Merritt apparently just went through all the recent songs he had written and only picked the ones that started with "I" for the album.
** Merritt also claims the albums ''Distortion'' and ''Realism,'' both released in the same year, were named after the [[ScareChord elements]] [[NewSoundAlbum of each]] that he anticipated fans were likely to complain about.
** Every song on ''50 Song Memoir'' has the year of Merritt's life that inspired it before the song title itself.
** Stephen Merritt chose the name of one of his side projects, The [=6ths=], for its prominent "s" and "th" sounds, making it kind of a tongue twister (particularly for those with a lisp) - continuing with this theme, their two albums were titled ''Wasps' Nests'' and ''Hyacinths and Thistles''.
* Fittingly enough, Music/VenetianSnares' ''Winnipeg Is A Frozen Shithole'' features song titles that all involve insults towards Winninpeg, Manitoba, usually of the profanity-laden variety. Aaron Funk is actually ''from'' Winnipeg, by the way.
* E-Type's fourth album was titled ''Euro IV Ever''.
* All of the songs on Music/{{Slint}}'s ''Tweez'' are named after band members' parents, with the exception of "Rhoda", which is instead named after Britt Walford's dog.
* U.K. Subs albums follow an alphabetical pattern. Observe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.K._Subs#Studio_albums
* Nearly all of rapper Trick Daddy's albums contain the word "Thug" in the title.
* R&B singer Jaheim's first three albums contain the word "Ghetto" in the title.
* The track lists to Music/ThePolyphonicSpree's albums always include a "section" number before the song title, with each album picking up where the previous album left off. For example, the last track of ''The Beginning Stages Of...'' was "Section 10 (A Long Day)", so the first track of ''Together We're Heavy'' was "Section 11 (A Long Day Continues/We Sound Amazed)". It's debatable whether the "Section" parts are canonically part of the full title though; they tend to drop this idiosyncrasy when their songs appear on compilations or singles and just call them by their subtitles. Also, covers and non-album tracks don't count as "sections", nor did their soundtrack to the film ''Thumbsucker''.
* The first six albums by alternative rock band Music/KingsOfLeon's albums all had five syllable titles (being ''Youth and Young Manhood'', ''Aha Shake Heartbreak'', ''Because Of The Times'', ''Only By The Night'', ''Come Around Sundown'', and ''Mechanical Bull''). Their 2016 album ''WALLS'' finally broke the trend - though the band have said it's an acronym for the 5 syllable phrase "We Are Like Love Songs". 2021's ''When You See Yourself'' returned to the pattern.
* Thus far power pop band Music/TheCab has named them albums with names that have the first word related to sound and the second to warfare: ''Whisper War'' and ''Symphony Soldier''.
* All of the songs on Whirlwind Heat's ''Do Rabbits Wonder?'' have {{non appearing title}}s and are named for colors (i.e. "Pink", "White", "Silver").
* Music/SonicYouth's ''Silver Sessions For Jason Knuth'' EP - all of the titles fit the mad-lib pattern of "Silver (noun)".
* Tim Fite has a trilogy of "ain't" album titles - ''Good Ain't Gone'', ''Fair Ain't Fair'', and ''Ain't Ain't Ain't''.
* All of the tracks on Music/MilesDavis' album ''Aura'' (except for the first track, "Intro"), are named after colors: "White", "Yellow", "Orange", "Red", "Green", "Blue", "Electric Red", "Indigo", "and Violet".
* The 1995 album ''Music/MadeInEngland'' by Music/EltonJohn entirely contains songs with one-word titles, except for the title song. (Tracklisting: "Believe", "Made In England", "House", "Cold" "Pain", "Belfast", "Latitude", "Please", "Man", "Lies", "Blessed")
* All of hip-hop duo Music/{{EPMD}}'s albums contain the word "Business". So far it's ''Strictly Business'', ''Unfinished Business'', ''Business as Usual'', ''Business Never Personal'', ''Back in Business'', ''Out of Business'', and ''We Mean Business''.
* Lo-fi eccentric cult artist Music/{{Jandek}} started playing live concerts in 2004, 26 years and several ''dozen'' albums into his career. Since then he's released a bunch of live albums, and all of them use the strict titling convention of "name of the city where the show was" + "day of the week when it happened" (e.g. ''Glasgow Sunday'', ''Manhattan Tuesday'', ''Seattle Friday'').
* See if you can guess what links the following track titles (and all the other ones) on Christophe Beck's soundtrack for ''Film/Red2010'': "Rotating Enforcement Device," "Regular Easygoing Dudes," "Russian Embassy Divertimento," "Rehash Every Detail," "Ridiculously Extravagant Disguises," "Ruined Election Dinner" and "Relieved Embrace, Done."
* Every song title on Music/{{Ministry}}'s ''Houses Of The Mole''' starts with a "W", except, fittingly enough, "No W". Even its HiddenTrack has the official title of "Walrus".
** Starting around 1996, they got in the habit of naming live tours with "tour" puns, which were usually also {{Intentionally Awkward Title}}s. Examples include "Spinchtour", "Clitour" (Which, once it hit the United States, became "Clitour US"), and "Masturbatour".
* Sander van Doorn's [=''Eleve11''=] is named after 2011, the year of its release.
* Music/{{Blink 182}} ''started'' to name their albums alphabetically, but then stopped for some reason - ''Buddha'', ''Cheshire Cat'', ''Dude Ranch'', ''Enema Of The State''.
* ''Other Truths'' by Do Make Say Think consists of four EpicRocking length tracks: "Do", "Make", "Say", and "Think".
* Music/MeFirstAndTheGimmeGimmes give all of their albums and EP's EpisodeFinishesTheTitle names - ''Are A Drag'' or ''Ruin Johnny's Bar Mitzvah'' for instance. They also have a tradition of releasing 7" singles where both sides are covers of the same artist and the title is the first or last name of said artist (or an abbreviation thereof), such as ''[[Music/BobDylan Bob]]'' or ''[[Music/JohnnyCash Cash]]''.
* All of Music/WeirdAlYankovic's polka medleys have the word "Polka" as part of the title - usually a pun ("Now That's What I Call Polka!" "Polka Your Eyes Out") but sometimes describing the main inspiration ("[[NuMetal Angry White Boy]] Polka", "[[Music/TheRollingStonesBand Hot Rocks]] Polka", "[[AlternativeRock The Alternative]] Polka").
* Each EP by French Synthpop artist Danger is named after a date (e.g., ''9/14/2007'', ''9/16/2007'') and each track named after a specific time (e.g., "11h30", "07:46")
* All of the songs on ''Wilderness'' by Music/TheHandsomeFamily have one word titles and are named after animals that appear in the songs' lyrics. For instance, the first three tracks are "Flies", "Frogs", and "Eels".
* So far, all albums or [=EPs=] by Cotton Candy have been named with pairs of adjectives that are synonyms for "impressive": ''Top-Notch & First-Rate'', ''Fantastic & Spectacular'' and ''Off-the-Hook & Out-of-Control''.
* The songs on Reggie & The Full Effect's ''Last Stop: Crappy Town'' are all named for Brooklyn's subway system, with every title being either the name of a subway line (e.g. "G") or a stop (e.g. "Smith & 9th"). Tying in with the CreatorBreakdown theme of the album, the track-list was specifically meant to trace James Dewees' route to rehab.
** Their first two albums had deliberately [[NonIndicativeName non-indicative album titles]] - ''[[GreatestHitsAlbum Greatest Hits]] 1984–1987'' was a debut album for a band that hadn't formed until 1998, while ''Promotional Copy'' was titled like and designed after plain, bare bones versions of albums designed to be sent to radio stations and journalists for promotional purposes. They might have stopped doing this because the ''Promotional Copy'' joke worked a little too well - some music stores thought they really were accidentally delivered promos of the album instead of the retail version, and sent them back to the record company.
* For his first three albums, Music/PeteYorn used titles referring to a time of the day: ''Musicforthemorningafter'', ''Day I Forgot'', and ''Nightcrawler''.
* The first three Music/AfroCeltSoundSystem album titles had their title preceded by a volume number, e.g. ''Volume 1: Sound Magic''. They dropped the practice for their fourth album, ''Seed'', as well as the remix album ''Pod'', but it returned for ''Volume 5: Anatomic''. [[note]]Apparently, ''Pod'' didn't count as a volume because it didn't feature any truly new material, whereas ''Seed'' did, even if they didn't officially call it volume 4 at the time.[[/note]]
* All of Sarah Records' compilation albums were named after locations in Bristol (UK), where the label was based.
* Music/PetShopBoys name all of their albums with just one word, and usually one with a possible double meaning. Most of their compilation albums are similarly terse (the only exception being the Japan-exclusive ''In Depth'', and the numbered sequels to ''Disco''). Only for their soundtrack albums have they used longer titles--because the movie or stage show wasn't theirs to name. Chris and Neil have stated that the pattern of one-word titles is deliberate.
** Music/{{Bjork}} names all of her studio albums with a single word as well.
* Petty Morals named their first three EP's after food, specifically sugary foods that are typically associated with summer: ''The Cotton Candy Demo'', ''The Lemonade EP'' and ''The Cherry Ice Pop EP''. They dropped the theme with their fourth release, ''Marked Women''.
* Music/PrettyBalanced has released three albums, all with rhyming titles: ''Icicle Bicycle'', ''Conical Monocle'', and ''Scarlet Starlet''.
* Creator/MarkPrindle's ''Smilehouse: The Tragic Remains of an Abandoned Masterpiece'' gives everything both a short title rendered in all caps without any spaces between words and a longer subtitle in AllLowercaseLetters. The main titles were originally brief placeholder titles as entered into his 16-track recorder, while the subtitles are done in the style of a bootleg or rarities album. Examples include "8RIFFS (BBC session)" and "RATDANCE (found in street; may actually be a different artist)".
* Music/{{Fantomas}}:
** The self-titled album identifies tracks by page numbers: "Book 1: Page 1", "Book 1: Page 2", etc... However, on ''Millenium Monsterwork 2000'', a live album by Fantômas {{Music/Melvins}} Big Band, songs from that album were given alternate titles, e.g. the track labeled "Ripping Chicken Meat" is actually a performance of "Book 1: Page 1".
** 'Suspended Animation'' titles songs after a date in April of 2005 [[note]]the album was originally released on April 5, 2005[[/note]], followed by one or more holidays or observances held on that day in various parts of the world, for instance "04/02/05 International Children's Book Day (USA) Battle Of The Flowers (France) National Peanut Butter And Jelly Day (USA)". A limited edition version of the CD ran with this by [[PackagedAsOtherMedium packaging it as an actual spiral-bound calendar]].
* A Giant Dog have a pattern of one-word album titles that can be read as EpisodeFinishesTheTitle when paired with the band's name: Examples include ''Pile'', ''Bone'', ''Fight'', ''House'', and ''Toy''. Thus far the theme has only been dropped for ''Neon Bible'', a CoverAlbum of the Music/ArcadeFire album of the same name.
* Music/TheFourFreshmen's concept albums would often be named "Four Freshmen and Five [instrument]" or "Voices in [theme]". Examples include ''Four Freshmen and Five Trombones'', ''Four Freshmen and Five Saxophones'', ''Voices in Latin'', ''Voices in Love''...
* Bunnygrunt went through a phase of naming releases after members of the band, for example ''Jen-Fi'' after bassist Jen Wolfe, ''Karen Haters Club'' after drummer/vocalist Karen Ried, and ''Matt Harnish And Other Delights'' after guitarist/vocalist Matt Harnish. As time went on, almost everyone who had ever been considered a full-time member had an album or EP named after them, so the practice was dropped.
* Hip hop duo Camp Lo named their first two albums after films starring Bill Cosby and Sidney Portier - ''Uptown Saturday Night'' and ''Let's Do It Again''. Their third was originally going to be named after a third such movie, ''A Piece Of The Action'', but ended up being called ''Black Hollywood'' instead. They did call a song "A Piece of the Action" and later used the title for a series of mix tapes.
* With the exception of their first track released, Icelandic electronica duo Kiasmos has titled all their tracks to date as past tense verbs, e.g. "Drawn", "Swept", "Thrown" etc. Their reasoning behind this is that they attempt to create the presence of a fictional physical "entity" via their music, and the song titles are what is happening to this entity.
* Music/{{DROELOE}}’s trilogy of [=EPs=] released between 2017 and 2019 all share the same cadence when said out loud: ''A Moment in Time,'' ''The Choices We Face'' and ''A Promise Is Made.''
* Many of rapper Rich Homie Quan's mixtape titles feature some variation on the phrase "going in". These include ''I Go In On Every Song'', ''Still Goin In'', ''I Promise I Will Never Stop Going In'', and ''If You Ever Think I Will Stop Goin' in Ask RR (Royal Rich)''.
* Music/EdSheeran's solo studio albums are usually named after mathematic symbols: ''+'', ''×'', ''÷'', ''='', and ''-'' (pronounced "plus", "multiply", "divide", "equals", and "minus", respectively). His albums ''No.6 Collaborations Project'' and ''Autumn Variations'' break this convention, however.
* Music/{{Eminem}}'s album released in 2002, ''Music/TheEminemShow'', was originally planned to be called ''The Eminem LP'' to close off the trilogy with ''Music/TheSlimShadyLP'' and ''Music/TheMarshallMathersLP'', but he felt that the theme had gotten old and replaced it with "Show".
* Starting with their second release ''Je m'Appelle Babe'', Babe The Blue Ox have titled all their albums after Creator/BarbraStreisand albums, either using the exact same title or replacing the word "Barbra" with "Babe" - ''Je m'Appelle Babe'' is a play on ''Je m'Appelle Barbra'' for instance.
* ''Music/ConfessionExecutiveCommittee'':
** The discography likes to take every mainline song about the Sena Narumi/Midori Hamanaka relationship and give it the naming theme "[Weekday]'s [X]", subsequently calling the whole collection the "Youbi" (Days of the Week) series. The songs thus far include "Friday's Good Mornings", "Sunday's Secret", "Wednesday's Promise", "Tuesday is Kiss Day", and "Thursday's Scandal". Sena's little sister Mona also had a romantic song with a similar naming scheme--"Monday's Melancholy".
** Unlike many other character's arcs, Hiyori Suzumi's character songs usually include the word "Heroine" in them and how she's either hoping to develop into one or maintain her momentum in her pursuit of achieving that status.
* Pg. 99 always use {{Chronological Album Title}}s in the format ''Document No. X''. However, some releases also have subtitles, like ''Document No. 9: A Split Personality''. Members have said that the significance is that each release documents the state of the band at that time.
* Every track on Music/YoLaTengo's ''We Have Amnesia Sometimes'' is titled with a full sentence where the subject is one or more band members, followed by a subtitle that's a weekday - for instance the opening track is "James and Ira demonstrate mysticism and some confusion holds (Monday)".
* For a while Gravity Kills seemed to have a thing with one-word song titles - every song title on their debut ''[[SelfTitledAlbum Gravity Kills]]'' was a single word, such as "Guilty" or "Blame", while their second album ''Perversion'' only broke with the convention for its last track, "Belief (To Rust)". However, on their final album ''Superstarved'' the majority of song titles were more than one word.
* Every song on the RemixAlbum for Music/{{Kelela}}'s ''Take Me Apart'' is rendered in AllCaps with underscores separating the words and the BPM specified at the end (e.g., what was simply titled "Waitin" on ''Take Me Apart'' becomes "KAYTRANDA_WAITIN_115 BPM" on the remix album), as if to evoke the digital file names of the songs' rough drafts.
* Downplayed with Music/TheAngelicProcess. All of their releases have at least one track titled "Mouvement - (rest of song name)". For instance, ''Weighing Souls with Sand'' has "Mouvement - World Deafening Eclipse" and "Mouvement - The Smoke of Her Burning"
* All six songs on Music/{{Botch}}'s EP ''An Anthology of Dead Ends'' are named after countries, but with "n" replaced with "m" - for example the first three tracks are "Spaim", "Japam", and "Framce".
* Starting in 2019, Music/FooFighters released a series of "Foo Files", digital compilation [=EPs=] marking the band's 25th anniversary and consisting of various {{B Side}}s, live recordings, and other rarities: Each EP has IdiosyncraticCoverArt looking like a drawer of a filing cabinet, and is [[TitleByNumber titled with an eight digit series of numbers]]. The numbers refer to the year or years the material was recorded, and all end in 25, as in the aforementioned anniversary: e.g. ''009500025'' consists of two live songs performed at the Reading Festival in England in 1995, and one performed in Melbourne, Australia in 2000. A few of the [=EPs=] are full live sets and have subtitles indicating a location (though for consistency's sake the actual cover art still only uses the numbers), e.g. ''00070725 Live at Studio 606'' is a 2007 live in-studio performance at the band's own studio, Studio 606.
* Music/GoodKid's [=EPs=] are ''Good Kid'', ''Good Kid 2'', and ''Good Kid 3''.
* Josh Scogin (formerly of Music/NormaJean)'s bands Music/TheChariot and [[{{Music/SixtyEight}} '68]] are infamous for having track titles follow a theme on most of their albums:
** The main song titles on ''Unsung EP'' are mangled versions of celebrities' and famous characters' names (e.g. "Phil Cosby", "Vin Affleck").
** The first 8 song titles on ''The Fiancée'' are lines from a [[https://blindpigandtheacorn.com/two-dead-boys-got-up-to-fight/ nonsense poem.]]
** At first, the only theming on ''Wars and Rumors of Wars'' seems to be that some track titles have punctuation attached to them ("Evolve:", "Impress."). But take the first and last letters from each track...
** The odd numbered tracks on ''Long Live'' are named after contest winners. Along with the even numbered tracks, they can also be combined with the album title to form a tribute (e.g. Long Live the Audience, Long Live Andy Sundwall).
** The track titles on ''One Wing'' are a message, split aross its ten tracks:
-->Forget not your first love. Speak in tongues and cheek.
** '68 follows this trend, with both songs from the ''Midnight'' EP referencing the number 3.
** ''In Humor and Sadness'' spells out the sentence "Regret not." over the course of its ten tracks.
** ''Two Parts Viper'' is more subtle than the others, but the song titles can still be seen as a coherent thought.
** ''Give One Take One'' bucks the trend, but still has certain songs follow different patterns, namely "The Knife, the Knife, the Knife", "The Silence, the Silence, the Silence", and "The Storm, the Storm, the Storm", "What You Feed" and "What You Starve", and "Life in Debt" and "Lovers in Death".
** ''Yes, And...'' returns to telling a story over the course of its song titles.
* Music/{{Emery}}'s album ''The Question'' has the back cover provide the first part of the titular question ("Where were you when I was...") and the track titles form the second part (e.g. "So Cold I Could See My Breath", "Listening to Freddie Mercury", "In a Lose, Lose Situation").
* The first five Music/{{Baroness}} albums had color themes until the band retired them after ''Gold & Grey''.
