    Led Zeppelin has a bunch of songs like this as well.

    Just a few off the top of my head:

    Black Dog
    Over the Hills and Far Away
    D'Yer Mak'er
    Immigrant Song
    Bron-Y-Aur Stomp (Bron-Y-Aur was the name of the farm/ranch/whatever where thy recorded it)
    many, many more...


    Hell, the song Houses of the Holy wasn't even on the Houses of the Holy album. It was on Physical Graffitti, though they do say "Houses of the Holy" in the song...:biggrin:

    Nearly every song by The Mars Volta, Comets on Fire, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai (granted a lot of those last twos stuff is instrumental).
