The first (eponymous).
When I worked in a record shop, it was in the days when we just displayed the covers and kept the actual records behind the counter in card sleeves. You would write the band and the name of the album on the sleeve, and if a record was self-titled, you'd write 'eponymous' in place of the title. This was so that it was clear that somebody hadn't just forgotten to write the title.
One girl who worked there never grasped the idea and didn't know why we wrote eponymous on some sleeves. And then REM released an album called Eponymous. She was completely screwed then!
