Songs That Sound A Little Too Similar

[Rosstickle]

They sound similar cause it's the same band on the same CD, that can happen, it's not like one song is ripping off the other mate.

I know but it's almost the exact same guitar intro.

 

[materamagic]

Satisfaction (Rolling Stones) and Mr Soul (Buffalo Springfield)

I Was Made For Loving You (Kiss) and Outlaw Pete (Bruce Springsteen)

 

[scotty4]

agree with many of these, some are uncanny. anyone heard that kid rock song haha

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Can anyone else hear the similarity in the opening riff, or am I the only one?

David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World

Eskimo Joe - Foreign Land

I mean, if you account for the fact that Eskimo Joe were purposefully wanky with the zurna in the intro, but there's a definite similarity, right?

Shouldn't be on this thread, Vanilla Ice paid to sample the bassline of Under Pressure.
Completely different to two different bands making two songs that sound the same.
The best example is this one of Jet. I laughed at the part at the end that said I know their is more examples but I do not want to listen to anymore Jet songs.

Listening to Jet is like listening to an Iggy Pop best of ran through a scratched CD

Think this was pretty well known in Britpop circles through the mid 90s but may as well post it...

Wire's 'Three Girl Rhumba' (1977)

Elastica's 'Connection' (1994)

[youtube]P5kswzr9vgQ[/youtube]

Elastica would claim their music was a homage, which might be the nice way of saying 'we're ripping you off'.

I like both songs though - of course, they are essentially the same tune. *LOL*

 

[treefingers]

Jimmy Recard by Drapht sounds a bit similar to the intro of Beds are Burning by the Oils.

 

[Sloth]

Is it just me or does the opening riff of H&C's Holy Grail sound like Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror ?
(not to mention the rest of Holy Grail sound like Wild Thing)

 

[Suspense]

Modern masterpiece (w/ Eternal Sunshine):

Classic masterpeice (w/ Evangelion):

[Falchoon]

I reckon Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harlem and When a Man Loves A Woman by Percy Sledge sound very familiar...

"Great intro, uh?" - "They nicked it from Marvin Gaye." - "He nicked it from Bach!"

 

[Zarrix]

A Perfect Circle- Judith

Deadsoul Tribe- Lost In You

[DJ Dupree]

Stone Temple Pilots - Big Bang Baby
Rolling Stones - Jumpin Jack Flash

Mainly the chorus refrain. Not a direct rip, but similar.

 

[Spandex]

The winner has to be The Offspring "Why Don't You Get a Job" ripping off The Beatles. It's the same freaking song. I don't know how they got away with it.

Paul and Ringo were probably too embarrassed to claim the original as theirs. Obladioblada is as awful as a cockroach, and I think the line was 'YEESH just DO SOMETHING WITH IT!'

 

[scooterb]

Here's a great video, although I can't hear the similarities between 'Something' by The Beatles and 'The Rain Song' By Led Zeppelin and also the very last comparison (The Doors and The Kinks).

Here's the actual link if embedding happens to fail.

That Green Day rip is by far the worst.

Jet release a new song and another rip off is born.

Let's see if you can spot what song they rip off with their opening riff..

[Respected Journo]

Kings of Leon - Manhattan.

Oasis - Go Let It Out.

The kings of leon have ripped off the distinctive bass hook from the 2000 Oasis song Go Let It out. You might struggle to hear the bass hook in the oasis song on your poor computer speakers but it is clear that the Kings of Leon ripped off the song. OVer-rated band too/

ahh jet.I'd rather listen to brokencyde (or The Knack...)

 

[Macca19]

I think youll find this is an actual 'cover' version of the song, not a direct ripoff per se.

 

[tribey]

Pink - U + Ur Hand
The Veronicas - Forever

I was so taken aback when I discovered this similarity I dropped my sack of lollipops and almost got hit by a number of cars travelling at 25 km/h...

 

[Hawks1523]

anyone else notice that 'the four horsemen' and 'mechanix' sound eeeeeeeeerily similar?

awaits metal heads...

I lol'd. FWIW Horsemen > Mechanix. The vocals in Horsemen destroys Mechanix.

 

[XFactor1979]

danaykroyd's Black wax and r.e.m's "Cant there from here"

R.E.M

Danaykroyd

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WOIEdlfh7M

"Cant get there from here" is the 80s original, Danaykroyd's "hit" is a complete ripoff of stipe, mills, buck and berry's masterpiece

I wished more people understood just how putrid Jet are.....they make me cringe.....I wish they would just go away.

 

[scooterb]

Does anyone else think that there are similarities between:

The Cure - Close to Me
and
George Michael - Faith

The bassline sounds very similar, as well as the clapping sounds.
