I've collected some album names that appear in lyrics but not in song titles. I'm hoping to bring up some discussion on this phenomenon. Note that the following albums are mostly not prog, and you are encouraged to use prog examples. In the form of singing: |

First one that comes to my head is Images & Words, from the song "Wait for Sleep".
In Sorte Diaboli - Dimmu Borgir
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd (Brain Damage)
Death Magnetic - Metallica
Dark Passion Play - Nightwish (The Poet and the Pendulum)
Broken - Nine Inch Nails (Happiness in Slavery)
The Dimmu Borgir one and the Metallica ones I can't really remember the track names. -------------

Exactly the one I was thinking of. And the album title appears in Dancing with the moonlit Knight.
Another example is Katy Lied by Steely Dan where the album title is mentioned in Dr. Wu.
Next I can think of is Tardigrade by Simon Says where the title appears in Suddenly the Rain
Also Across the Water by Jadis and A Story two days Wide by Iluvatar are examples but I will have to look it up in which song they appeared.
Interesting topic this because I always thought it was an intriguing question why an album title was created and the title itself was not a title of one of the songs but still appeared in the lyrics of one of the songs. ------------- A day without prog is a wasted day |

Too tired to think this through, but Relayer appears in Tales from Topographic Oceans, but not in Relayer itself.
