OK so I thought of a stupid little trivia game that probably will bore the hell of you so I apologize ahead of time for making you read this.

I was thinking album names and came up with four categories that I will call "A", "B", "C"  and "D" types.   It's the very rare "D" types that I am interested in.  I know there are more out there, I just can't come up with them now and I know you all can help.

"A"
This is the self titled album name.  Pretty self explanatory.
example:  Blind Melon - Blind Melon

"B"
This is for the album named after one of the song titles on the album.
example:  My Morning Jacket - At Dawn

"C"
This is for the album with a name that is totally independent of the band, songs and lyrics.
example:  My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves

"D"
Finally, this category is an album named after just a lyric somewhere in the album but is NOT a song title.
example:  Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
This is my favorite type of album name and the one's I'm looking for.   GO!

(Also, there is another oddity I thought of that is a combination of "A" and "B" but I'm not sure there is more than one of those.  Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath.  But if you can think of anything that is wierd or fits outside of my categories I'm also interested in them.)

I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

Nice one!

I can't come up with a D right now, but how about another oddity like Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy? Being the title of a song that's on a completely different record! Could be a "B-1" maybe...

"...the Bear, Heartbreakin' Man, Evelyn...I think we all know those."

A. J Roddy Walston & The Business - J Roddy Walston & The Business

Ohhh nice!   Let's call it a B/C hybrid.

I thought of another D.   Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes

Here's another D:

Grateful Dead - Wake Of The Flood (Here Comes Sunshine)

Crispy

Houses of the Holy would definitely be a "C/B" hybrid -- I wasn't even thinking about that one on its own, before Physical Graffiti existed!

OOO! /Horschak hand-raising/ I thought of a D: Castaways and Cutouts by the Decemberists! (California One/Youth and Beauty Brigade)
"...the Bear, Heartbreakin' Man, Evelyn...I think we all know those."

Interesting game!

D- Wilco - A Ghost is Born (Theologians)

Be the cliché you want to see in the world.

Every Pixies Album with the exception of Trompe Le Monde.  Surfer Rosa, Come On Pilgrim, Doolittle, and Bossanova are all lyrics.  The best is "Come on Pilgrim, you know He loves you."

The Pixies - Levitate Me
I'm not saying it's easy...walking into sweet oblivion.

Sometimes when I get in my zone, you'd think I was stoned, but I never as they say, touched the stuf

Category D - Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning (Road to Joy)

BH

Oh you guys rock!  I knew you would come thru strong!   And Tracy, yes, the Steely Dan counts and actually might even be extra special.   I should have thought about Aha Shake, since I remember thinking it was one more reason I loved that album.  Oh KOL of the past, where have you gone?  :'(
