Besides Black Sabbath's song Black Sabbath on the album Black Sabbath, what are other song/album/band eponymous trifecta?
I would give Infectious Grooves partial credit as well.

Talk Talk
I thought so, too -- I would have sworn up and down that Talk Talk's first album (with the "Talk Talk" single) was self-titled, but turns out it was actually called The Party's Over. Though I wonder if it was one of those cases where it was retitled for the U.S. market?

The Good, the Bad, and the Queen did this (doesn't work if you go along with Damon Albarn's statement that the band who made this album has no name, but that's how it shows up on the iPod).

Sorry to be such an early '80s pedant, but their first album, with "In a Big Country," was actually titled The Crossing.

Talk Talk's first full-length wasn't called Talk Talk, but it was predated in the US by an EP/Mini-LP by that name, and it did include "Talk Talk". Pretty sure MTV listed it that way onscreen too.

Best answer: La Dusseldorf. In addition to a song called "La Dusseldorf" they have a song that is just called "Dusseldorf" on the same record.
Old and in the Way.
They Might Be Giants came close, but the song was on the wrong record. The same with Rank and File. Public Image Ltd. had a song called "Public Image" on their debut album that is technically called First Issue, but is widely referred to as Public Image.
