I didn't say you forgot to declare the namespace, I said you omitted the 'xsl' prefix where needed.

Sure I did (I always do) and it worked.
Given your XML document and the following stylesheet:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"

xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:mq="http://musicbrainz.org/mm/mq-1.1#"
xmlns:mm="http://musicbrainz.org/mm/mm-2.1#"
xmlns:az="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/landing.html#"
exclude-result-prefixes="rdf dc mq mm az">

<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="rdf:RDF">

   <xsl:for-each select="mm:Album">
     <xsl:value-of select="dc:title"/>
   </xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The output looks like:
The Best of Leonard Cohen (disc 2) Diamonds in the Mine Field

That's what you want isn't it?

(
You could also add
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" (Notice the difference with 'xmlns:xsl=...')
to your original stylesheet but that's a rather unusual thing to do.
)
