Bands that share titles of songs

You know, it really sucks when a band re-uses a name of a song or album that is no where near as good as the original.  Incubus’s “I Wish You Were Here” is my prime example here.  I don’t hate their music, but what the fuck were these guys thinking?  I don’t think I need to explain why this was a mistake, but Incubus doesn’t hide the fact that they were influenced by Pink Floyd.  Even if they don’t say it, the influence is there—don’t argue it.  I got to thinking about this because I’ve been listening to Roxy Music’s “The Space Between”, and I can’t forget the ridiculously bad Dave Matthew’s Band song by the same name.  God.  Fucking.  Dammit.  Doesn’t google exist for these Schmucks?  My piece of advice is:  type in the name, see if it already belongs to a band that’s worth the time of day, and if it does, look for a new one.

Good day. (:I)
