The Rolling Stones - Like a Rolling Stone.
-Granted, it was a Dylan cover that they didn't write and didn't sing until 1994 and it was highly ironic, but still pretty significant in the name stakes. ^_^
Queen - Killer Queen.
Again, that's pretty big stuff.
The Who - Who are you
More rock titans.
Rammstein - Ramstein
Made of raw, pure, awsomonium.
Devo - We are Devo
Nerdy.
---------------
I know another!
Icehouse - Icehouse
...It was written back when they still called themselves "the Flowers", but they changed it soon after. :)

Iron Maiden--"Iron Maiden."
Manowar--"Manowar." They also include their name in a lot of songs as well as refer to themselves as the "four metal kings" and their albums as "magic circles." Although I love 'em, I doubt that they should be in a Top 13 Bands list--but since you put Devo in here, Manowar similarly fits!
And--heh heh--how about "Ice Ice Baby. Vanilla Ice Ice Baby"?

Let's see how many I can think of...
"Wilco-The Song" by Wilco
"They Might Be Giants" by They Might Be Giants
"Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nothin' To Fuck With" by The Wu-Tang Clan
"Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath
"Miles Ahead" by Miles Davis
Damn, I know I have more than that but I'm having a brain fart...

Slayer had a song called "Face the Slayer", but they aren't really well known for that song.
