A time to be born, a time to die / A time to Robert Plant, a time to reap / A time to Killdozer, a time to heal / A time to laugh, a time to Take a Train to Cry. / A time to Build Me Up, Buttercup, a time to Stop Breaking Down / A time to dance, a time to September Morn / A time to cast away Stones / A time to gather Stones together. / A time of Love, a time of Hate Your Friends / A time of War, a time of Peace Piece / A time you may choogle / A time to refrain from chooglin’. And a time to every Tortoise under heaven.

Heh, @UM! Not surprised you've been there, done that. Amazingly (if not alarmingly), we will have zero overlap here today...

Slightly fuzzier rubric at work here now...

Uncle Michael:

That's excellent!
Avatar 12:28pm
Cecile:

I like songs that tell the story of the band. Doesn't have to have the same title as the band.

Oh! The Story of THEM. Or even, uh, Kiss's Beth.
or 80% of Toys in the Attic.

The Clash, "What's My Name?"

If a band wants to be self-referential, it ought to be named Ouroboros.
  12:35pm
Dean:

There are bands named Eponymous and The Self-Titled.

Ziggy Stardust?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:35pm
Uncle Michael:

We were just another band out of Boston...on the road to try and make ends meet. Playing all the bars...sleeping in our cars. We'd practice right on out in the street...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:36pm
Jeff Golick:

I see you there, @βrian.
Avatar 12:36pm
Cecile:

oy. I remember that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:37pm
Jeff Golick:

Ziggy and The Clash didn't quite make the cut. Nor "Ashes to Ashes."
  12:38pm
Dean:

Then there are songs by band X that refer to band Y: Nick Lowe's "Rollers Show."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:39pm
Jeff Golick:

Pavement's "Gold Soundz," too, @Dean.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:39pm

Didn't They Might Be Giants do one self titled?
  12:40pm
Dean:

Dead Boys' "All This and More."

Might have to throw in a bonus set for this show...for those who can stick around...

Did Van rip off Mick et al, or did they rip off Van?

I think they both ripped off older blues musicians.

"Influences"

Such a melodic singer ….
  1:15pm
Dean:

That title makes me think of Rundgren, which makes me think of Utopia, which makes me think of "Utopia."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19pm
Uncle Michael:

This is not the ballad of Mott the Hoople.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20pm
Jeff Golick:

You got it, @UM. Mott have a surprising number of self-referential songs. Perhaps more than any other band (that I'm aware of).
  1:21pm
Dean:

"Who Are You"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:22pm
Jeff Golick:

There's no bombast like 1970s bombast.

You already played the Beatles, and Kurt played it Friday, but "You Know My Name, Look Up the Number".
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:24pm
Artie Haywire:

So many rappers with the "all about me" song. D-Nice may have claimed the title for most repetitions of his own name in one song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:25pm
"Little" Artie Haywire:

...perhaps dethroning even the mighty Bo Diddley.

Nosotros la tenemos.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:26pm
Jeff Golick:

Yeah, hip-hop was tough -- most tunes I considered didn't have quite the same self-referential feeling I was going for. Maybe Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day?"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:29pm
Uncle Michael:

Thanks Jeff!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:31pm
Jeff Golick:

My pleasure, @Uncle Michael!
