Paste Magazine's the 50 Best Title Tracks of All Time

"Title tracks often distill an album's essence into one succinct, memorable song. Other times, they might glue a record together or serve as a thematic starting point for the artist. Some title tracks have become the most defining songs of that particular artist's career and some are under-appreciated deep cuts that have become cult favorites. Not every album has a title track, but the ones that do often warrant deeper listening to see if the artist was trying to relay a message about the body of work they've created. In celebration of the mighty title track, Paste's music staff compiled 50 of our favorite title tracks of all time, limiting ourselves to one song per artist."
