Sometimes, the best name for a record is the name of the band… especially if it’s your first release. Today marks the anniversary of when The Smiths released their self-titled debut album, and the group The Head and the Heart recently announced a run of shows to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their first record.

It really got us thinking about how many albums are made by the people who created them. Let’s examine this trend by creating a playlist of songs that came from records named after the artists.
