Some of those are clearly not the exact same font:

The Matthew Sweet one and the Tangerine Dream you can see from the small "n" that it's different. The Radiohead and Fleetwood Mac one is hard to tell because there's no letter to compare, but there are a lot of different someone similar Serif fonts so I doubt it.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Friday, 24 September 2004 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Nope. The first one clearly uses "red" and "orange" fonts while the second one has "blue" and "purple."

― Hurting, Friday, 24 September 2004 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Some of those are clearly not the exact same font

yeah, I think it's pretty unlikely that those Fleetwood Mac and Radiohead records are the same. Hail to the Thief is set in Mrs. Eaves (by Emigre) and the Fleetwood Mac record dates from 1987.... and... I have a feeling that Mrs Eaves is from the mid-90s (although potentially, Tango in the Night is set in Baskerville, which Mrs Eaves is based on??)

Not content with nicking the name, they nick the font too.

Actually, the Seger font isn't exactly the same as the Alice Cooper/Pointer Sisters/Soft Machine font... check out the "A". but good call on the Soft Machine one!

not an exact match, but close enough to comment on:
