Best Self-Titled Rock Band Albums
These albums had the same name as the artist that made it, that simple.
No disrespect to A7X, I like them, but if it weren't for this album they would probably be stuck as suburban tattoo artists.
Lucretia Metallica is a rock band. What are you talking about
Too good to be compared
With all due respect to Rage Against the Machine, this is the best. This has Afterlife, A Little Piece of Heaven, Almost Easy, Gunslinger, Critical Acclaim, Scream, and Dear God. RATM has Killing in the Name, Wake Up, and Bombtrack. If RATM had Bulls on Parade, then it would be better.
How is this not number 1? One of the most definitive and eclectic albums of all time, outranking every other eponymous album on Rolling Stone. Vote for this!
Black Sabbath were a Heavy Metal band formed in Birmingham, England in 1968 by guitarist and songwriter Tony Iommi, singer John "Ozzy" Osbourne, bassist and main lyricist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward.The band became mainstream after improving after their debut album got panned.

Avenged Sevenfold is above. God is dead
This is the album that started metal!
This album is amazing and has various musical styles of Rock and Alternative Metal.
Led Zeppelin was an English hard rock band formed in London in 1968 as the New Yardbirds. The group consisted of Robert Plant (Vocal), Jimmy Page (Guitar), John Paul Jones (Bass, Keyboard) and John Bonham (Drums) and was very much the child of Jimmy Page who even financed their first tour. He had tasted some previous success with The [original] Yardbirds and was friendly with some big names in rock. Page states it was Keith Moon of The Who that claimed the band could only go down, like a lead balloon -- thus prompting the iconic name of Led Zeppelin. The band's heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors ...read more. Even though it was mostly ripped off, it's a great debut. This one and their second album just feel magical to me. Also realize that every bluesman has like 5 Willie Dixon songs... just saying. It's still not an excuse, but I do think the chemistry on this album is really good. I do prefer Black Sabbath and The Doors though.
I can’t help that the original singer/songwriter never got much attention when they first performed their version of these songs. Zeppelin just did them better and impressed a huge mainstream audience. Several hits every decade are covers or samples of older songs, nobody hardly ever complains about that. Just listen to pop or hip hop, you hear it all the time.
Their first album is one of their best! Keep Yourself Alive was AWESOME!
I adore Aerosmith's music. This album wasn't their best one but it was quite decent start. Aerosmith rocks
Incredible album by Jon Schaffer and Hansi Kürsch, with great songs - Path Of Glory, Fiddler on the Green, Heaven Denies, Tear Down the Wall, Poor Man's Crusade, Blood On My Hands - actually all songs on this album are amazing.
Very great band, one of my favorites
