Didn’t Creed and Natalie Imbruglia both have songs titled “Torn”? If so, that puts them up to at least five matches. Not that I’m saying anything about their originality… Anway, I came in to post an odd, less-than-perfect match: HIM’s “In the Nightside of Eden” and Therion’s “Nightside of Eden”. That’s close enough to count, isn’t it? ---
