Songs Separated At Birth
This is a list I've been brewing for quite some time. Even longer if you count compiling it in my head over the past who knows how many years. But I've been keeping a text document of this for at least 2-3 years now. I figured at this point it was deserving of it's own page here.
This is a lost of songs that to me sound like they belong together. Some instances it's the mood, some it's the melody, some it's the key, some it's the style. In some instances it may be copying, some may just be influenced by, some may be sampling, some may be paying homage, some may even be coincidence. I am by no means trying to accuse any of these artists of plagiarizing, I just thought it might be fun to gather these in one place.
In most cases here, I am listing first the song that was released first. I was debating leaving info here regarding release date, album, etc., but you are obviously on an internet accessible computer. So go ahead and use google like I would =^P (you just saved me a bunch of time!) Also, if you can think of any to add to this list, let me know, and I'll list it as well as credit you for your discovery.
