Two totally different songs. One very similar start. Know what I mean?

Take the spuriously corollary case of The Cars' Touch And Go and the Police's Spirits In The Material World. Get it?

What others are there?

Kinda similar but not totally

Worst Year Of My Life - Wild Swans
Questions Of Travel - The Ocean Blue

I think once "Rio" (Duran Duran) and "Just Another Day" (Oingo Boingo) really get started, they sound a lot alike.

Don't forget Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky". That makes three.

Interpol- Pioneer To The Falls

Wow Marv, I was just going to start a thread just like this because I thought one of my favorite songs by The Jam was going to be played on Jack FM, and then it was Phil Collins doing a cover of The Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love."

The bass line start makes the songs indistinguishable:

The Jam - Town Called Malice
Phil Collins - You Can't Hurry Love (Supremes Cover)
