<\/a>\nOkay, before I get totally derailed here again… no, hold up, I’m going to indulge in this for a while.\u00a0 These are the Barbi Twins.<\/p>\n
Okay, I’m done now.\u00a0 I’m not going to claim that everything comes in pairs, particle physics notwithstanding.\u00a0 I will however point some matching pairs out to you.<\/p>\n Pair #1:<\/span> Much better the first time around.\u00a0 But still great when they decided to write the song again and give it different words.<\/p>\n Pair #2:<\/span> Some say that the entire second album was a copy of the first.\u00a0 It kind of sounds like it.\u00a0 That might have been the start of Robert Fripp’s obsession with not playing the old “hits” and trying to sound different with every passing hour.<\/p>\n Pair #3:<\/span> These guys look identical, dare I say… like twins!<\/p>\n Pair #4:<\/span> Rick Wakeman eat your heart out, indeed!\u00a0 I can’t tell these songs apart!<\/p>\n<\/a>

\nBack in the 90s, I was SURE they were androids.\u00a0 Look at those blank stares!\u00a0 Look at those perfect bimbo babe bodies!\u00a0 Those aren’t twins, those are two of several thousand identical robots!<\/p>\n

\n“Epitaph<\/a>” by King Crimson and “In the Wake of Poseidon<\/a>” by King Crimson<\/p>\n
\n“Street of Dreams<\/a>” by Rainbow and “Scatterbrain<\/a>” by Radiohead<\/p>\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nEven the band names are damn near the same!\u00a0 And if you shove a bunch of lego blocks in your mouth and say the song titles together several times really fast they also sound the same!\u00a0 Try it!<\/p>\n
