I found that the Pink Floyd song Signs of Life has the same name as the Poets of The Fall song Signs of Life.
I don't think either are bad but I'll play the Poets of The Fall one more.
Do you guys have any examples of shared song names?

Yip, there's a John Lennon song called 'Mother', which I have immediately thought of when I heard The Wall. Also a song called 'Breathe' by Kylie Minogue (I think). I haven't heard it. And a song called 'Marooned' by somebody else, but I don't remember who-- I found it whilst searching for the PF song.
These don't really count but there's also 'Money (That's What I Want)' by Barrett Strong, covered by the Beatles, and 'Piggies' by the Beatles as well.

There's a song by The Vespers called 'High Hopes'. I prefer the Floyd one.

Haven't heard it yet, but Fleetwood Mac has a song called Wish You Were Here.

One Of These Days - Ten Years After Childhood's End - Iron Maiden Stay - David Bowie Time - Ben Folds Time - Tom Waits Dogs - The Who In The Flesh - Blondie Young Lust- Aerosmith Sorrow - Bad Religion Take It Back - Cream High Hopes - Frank Sinatra
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there's much more.
Some of these, such as Dogs (1968), Take It Back (1967), and High Hopes (1959) predate the Pink Floyd songs.

Echoes - Camel Way less pointless than Pink Floyd's Echoes, which just dilly-dallys everywhere taking its sweet time about everything and nothing. Like just get to the point already!

(After making this post, TheVelvetBride was never seen again. Her family and friends will be holding a memorial in her honour on the 20 of May...) ;-)

Time- David Bowie Whenever someone talks about the concept of time I have an irresistible urge to sing both songs at once.

Actually, I'm ashamed to say that the Bowie one comes out of my mouth before the Floyd one does, simply because he actually yells 'TIME!' quite clearly in it, whilst the Floyd one is about time but hardly mentions it in a prominent way.
