The drumbeat intro to these 3 songs all sound identical to me:

 

Iggy Pop - Lust For Life

Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love

The Jam - Town Called Malice

 

 

Then it got me thinking actually this is a pretty common beat. Jet's Are You Gonna Be My Girl & The Fader's No Sleep Tonight also use it. Didn't realise it was such a popular sample even though it sounds so obvious now. Any more? Or any other similar sounding songs you didn't initially realise?

Don't forget the Martha & The Vandellas track I'm Ready For Love

 

 

If I remember right:

 

Adele - Hello

Sam Smith - Writing's On The Wall

Sia - Alive

 

all have very similar intros, and all released within a month of each other in 2015. I remember I'd hear a piano intro on the radio and genuinely not know which of those songs it would be!

There were several times where I'd hear the intro for Shape of You in a club and get all excited thinking it was Sia's Cheap Thrills.
I can't name them off the top of my head but I always seem to come across songs that have similar intros to the roses' fools gold. they just follow me!

The Weeknd - Take My Breath. The start of it sounds like a mix of all 3 of these:

 

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger

Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen

The Police - Bring On The Night

 

 

Could even add Scissor Sisters - Comfortably Numb, just a slightly higher pitch.

The Supremes - Where Did Our Love Go / Ace of Base - Always Have, Always Will / Mero - It Must Be Love / S Club Juniors - Automatic High. All have that same "clip clop" Motown intro on them!
The intro to David Bowie's Changes reminds me of Madness - Driving In My Car!
