Whaddya mean even with Republic?
It must be getting more difficult, as time goes by, shorter song/album titles are more likely to be duplicates or near duplicates
Big country - Chance JD - Chance (which became Atmosphere, another double)
Big Country, the Monkees and JD all have songs called Heart & Soul
NO - Turn, Feeder - Turn, The Byrds Turn Turn Turn
NO - Senses, Lightning Seeds - Sense, Feeder - Pushing the Senses
Electronic - Imitation of Life, REM - Imitation of Life, Psychedelic Furs - Imitation of Christ
Etc...
Theres a Sigur Ros album entitled () with tracks called Untitled 1-8 - Where will it end? 
Well fook me with a rusty paperclip. Really naughty of Joy Division to even think about naming a song after a Big Country track that was written three years later, wasn't it? Big Country didn't even exist when Ian died. And as for New Order using song titles that were later used by Feeder and the Shitening Seeds, you can hardly blame New Order for writing a song in 1981 and having another band use the same name several years later, can you?
By the way, I wrote a song called "Imitation of Bastard" in 1982. Others clearly imitated the title, or in a rare prescient moment, did I copy them?
Dead Kennedys have records called "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" and "Too Drunk To Fuck" - are they ripping themselves off?
made a name for himself with long song titles:
