Listen to the first five or ten seconds of each song!
Jonathan Richman, back in 1977 (the song was itself a sort-of cover version).
Hyper-serious Japan*, four years later. Did nobody tap them on the shoulder and point it out to them?
* I actually quite like Japan, the fact that everybody else hated them made them more rather than less appealing.

Good spot.
I quite like some Japan, especially Mick Karn's bass playing on Visions of China. And I like their version of I Second that Emotion as it's one of those cover versions where the band make it their own (like Siouxsie doing Dear Prudence).
Is this a series? I have a very strange "Songs that sound the same".
TS, agreed, if you do, go on post it.
Ok, you asked for it...
'We used to know' (Jethro Tull 1969)

'Hotel California' (Eagles 1976)

(Basically same chord sequence)
Led Zep were the biggest rip off merchants. But they did it so well...
Prog
Prog, nice one, I always knew there was something fishy about "Hotel California". I've posted it for tomorrow evening.
