    The one with the same song titles -- but different artists.
    Jun 21 2025
    In the 1980s, it wasn't uncommon to hear songs on the radio that had the same title -- but they were recorded by very different artists. Sometimes those songs were released within weeks or months of each other. In a few cases, they were years apart. Join John& Steve as they run down their favorite songs with the same title, but by different artists. Artists this time out include U2, R.E.M., Van Halen, The Pointer Sisters, The Psychedelic Furs and New Order. #1980s #NewWave #NewRomantics
