How much song of the same name can you like?

Depeche Mode and the Goo Goo Dolls both have songs called Strangelove, but the latter's song really sucks.

I suppose this doesn't include covers. Would be cheating.

I like two songs by the name of "Surrender"---one is by Depeche Mode, and the other is by a group named Lasgo. I also like "Young Offender" by New Order, and "Young Offender" by the Pet Shop Boys.

Stockholm Syndrome by Muse, Blink 182 and Yo La Tengo (ok, I only like two of those )

Mysterious Ways by John Foxx, U2 and...won't say Julia Fordham

These Days by Johnny Clegg, REM and You Know Who.

Blue Light by Mazzy Star, Bloc Party and Frank Zappa.

Spirit by Bauhaus, Dead Can Dance and, er, Bryan Adams.

For a variation on a theme, three others that are on my Ipod's 'most played are: 1959 (Sisters of Mercy) 1963 (NO) 1979 (Smashing Pumpkins)

How much song of the same name can you like?

That is terrible English, Spot!

"The Power of love" Frankie Goes to Hollywood Hughie Lewis and the News Jennifer Rush

3 excellent songs IMHO.

Can anybody top 3 good songs with the same name?

Further to those 3, Run by Spiritualized is also superb

Isn't there a song called Surrender by The Chem. Bros? Or is that just the name of the album and not the title track?

Three differnt songs by the title "Cherish" have made the top 10: The Association, Kool and the Gang, Madonna.

I like Jump by Van Halen and the Pointer Sisiters.

I like Jump by Van Halen and the Pointer Sisters. ( which was also covered recently by Girls ALoud.)

I think it's the album name, but I don't really listen to the Chemical Brothers, so I'm not really sure.

It's the next-to-last track on the album (I have it so I should know)

It's also the same name as a song by Cheap Trick which is bizarre and should best be approached as a curious relic of the late Seventies drug culture, if you even try to decipher some of the lyrics your head will

Crazy (Patsy Cline, Seal, Gnarls Barkley)

Thanks for the information!

if you stick the song title "crazy" in on www.allmusic.com it shows 933 occurences of the song! now there are a lot of repeats of the song being featured on more than one album by the same band, but that's still a hell of a lot... was going to suggest that & angel as two very popular songtitles, angel only has 912 appearances.

So which do you all prefer of Joy Divison or Russ Abbot's "Atmosphere"? Its a close call, no?

It seems to be the "in" thing to have an album called "Greatest Hits"...

Hurt.....from the Order, NIN/J. Cash, and maybe Any Trouble, if one drops the "The" from the front.

steveone wrote: It seems to be the "in" thing to have an album called "Greatest Hits"...

That or "Best of", often when a band doesn't necessarily have any "greatest hits" to speak of (like Foghat)

Russ Abbot's is a lighter more up beat tune :D

Anyone remember the video? The club doorman stops him as if to say "Not tonight" and Russ just gives him the bicycle clips off his trousers! Pure class!

Diggy Mike wins - he likes a massive nineteen songs with the same name:

Blue Monday (’88 12” Version) Blue Monday (The Beach) Blue Monday (88 Edit) Blue Monday ’95 12” Version Blue Monday Hardfloor Remix Blue Monday Hardfloor Dub Blue Monday Hardfloor Radio Edit Blue Monday Jam and Spoon Manuella Mix Blue Monday Shep Pettibone Mix Blue Monday Lionrock Full Throttle Mix Blue Monday Andrea Mix Blue Monday Plutone Mix Blue Monday Plutone Dub Blue Monday Starwash Mix Blue Monday Brain Mix Blue Monday 1988 12” Version Blue Monday 1988 Dub Blue Monday Beach Buggy Blue Monday Beach Buggy 12" Version

And there's SURRENDER by Swing Out Sister.
