Songs that Sound Similar

Featured Replies

whether it be a little section, a verse, intro or the Whole Song!...i've noticed that there's a lot of similar sounding songs, although, it's all down to opinion...

...apart from THIS one...

 

Modest Mouse - Float On & James - She's A Star

 

 

i know of more, and Will add more, but it's nearly half 4 in the early morning, and i'm off to bed, but, anyone else know of any ??

To be honest, some of the Strokes songs sound somewhat similar to me, but not in THAT bad of a way.

This goes without saying, Jet - are you gonna be my girl and Iggy Pop - Lust for life sound the same.

Yeah, seriously... could they have ripped that off any more blatantly? :lol:

 

Here's some:

 

- The Beatles' "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da" and Offspring's "Why Don't You Get a Job" or whatever that song was called

- The Beatles' "Sexy Sadie" and Radiohead's "Karma Police"

- Radiohead's "I Will" sounds like a hybrid of the Beatles' "She's So Heavy" and "Because."

 

Let's see if I can come up with any that don't involve the Beatles...

 

Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and Lionel Richie's "Stuck on You" use the same guitar lick.

 

And I just noticed an embarrassing similarity between a song I wrote a few weeks ago and Belle and Sebastian's "Fox in the Snow." :rolleyes:

The Beatles' "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da" and Offspring's "Why Don't You Get a Job" or whatever that song was called

 

 

*nods*

:lol: Yeah what's that all about !!

Oasis - All Around The World // The Beatles - Hey Jude

The "na na na" parts sound very similar

 

Oasis - Fuckin' In The Bushes // Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

the chorus riff in FITB is almost exactly the same as the beginning of the Stairway to Heaven guitar solo

 

I could list quite a lot of Oasis ones, so I'll leave it at just those two for now :confused:

The Beatles' "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da" and Offspring's "Why Don't You Get a Job" or whatever that song was called

 

 

I agree. There´s no need to mention Beatles is better :P

 

As for my contribution:

 

Eighties - Killing Joke and Come as you are - Nirvana.

It´s obvious that Kurt had Killing Joke as one of his influences, but that doesn´t mean he needed to do a song with kinda the same guitar riff ! Pissed me off actually ! I HATE NIRVANA ! :angry: (no offense to the fans though)

I HATE NIRVANA ! :angry: (no offense to the fans though)

 

:angry: :angry: :angry:

 

 

*****FIXED*****

Satisfied, Brian? :P :lol:

 

:angry: :angry: :angry:

 

I am sorry Maya, but I do hate their songs ! especially Come as you are and that cover from The man who sold the world ! kurt voice killed a Bowie Classic

Man, you people need to learn how to quote! :lol:

 

:P :P

 

And you need to know WHEN to shut the f*ck up !

anyway...enough bitching for the simpletons, back to songs that sound the same.

 

Intro to Imagine - John Lennon & Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis

Intro to You've Got Everything Now - The Smiths & Roll With It - Oasis

(0:47) section of The Smiths - These Things Take Time & (1:32)section of Oasis - Alive

<oasis are Kings at Stealing little things like that..>

I HATE NIRVANA ! :angry: (no offense to the fans though)

 

:angry: :angry: :angry:

 

I am sorry Maya, but I do hate their songs ! especially Come as you are and that cover from The man who sold the world ! kurt voice killed a Bowie Classic

 

Noooooo!!! Come As You Are is my favourite. And Kurt's version of The Man... is so much better than Bowie's (who I personally think is shite :lol: except for his 'Starman' song, his voice irritates me!)

 

I still love you though ;) :kiss:

i think the new Supergrass single sounds a little like Cool for cats by Squeez !

 

HTTT :sneaky:

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Spread Your Love // Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky

 

Oasis - Supersonic // George Harrison - My Sweet Lord

Oasis - Supersonic // George Harrison - My Sweet Lord

 

For that matter:

 

George Harrison - "My Sweet Lord" // The Chiffons - "He's So Fine" :P
