hmm im have to think, it's much harder.

Have to think about it..... there are a number of songs already mentioned that I would list... I would though in Dance of Death has a favorite title track - I liked the song when I first bought the album, but that song works much better live than what was captured in the studio version. Awesome live track!

Black Sabbath
Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets
Highway to Hell, Let there be Rock, Back in Black, For Those about to Rock
Burn, Perfect Strangers
Love Gun (One of the very few Kiss songs I love)
Number of the Beast
Endless Pain, Pleasure to Kill
Balls to the Wall
Riders of Doom
The Last in Line
Long Live Rock & Roll
Overkill, Ace of Spades, Iron Fist, Bomber

Worst

Girls, Girls, Girls
Look What the Cat Dragged In
Orgasmatron
Defenders of the Faith

Not so much:
Gotta think about that one...........

"Defenders of the Faith" (even including "Heavy Duty") is more like a filler track than a title track. What would be a better name for that album? I think "The Sentinel" would've been cool. Excellent track, too.

IMHDO

Saxon has one of the best streaks with killer title tracks

Warrior with their monstrous anthem Fighting For The Earth deserves a mention here.
