What exactly is a rip off or sound-alike? Influences? Revival bands? 30 seconds? This sounds like that; maybe; almost? NO! The real rip offs are very noticeable copies; blatantly re-written or reproduced in their entirety. Wolfmother will definitely feed off their influences like many other artists and musicians. This is normal. The real crooks are those who prefer to steal the whole suit off someone rather than dressing like them.

There’s still more! Plus you’ll start to see a pattern but enough said.

Pearl Jam’s Who You Are from No Code reminds me of the tribal-esque coda to the Beatles Hello Goodbye - the “hey la hey hey lo ah” part.

ever since i heard the live bootlegs of Radiohead’s All I Need, i always think of the Primitive Radio Gods song Standing Outside a Phone Booth…

Don’t correct me if I’m wrong, but RHCP’s “Easily” and “We Believe” are both sung in the same rhythm, and obviously sound the same when they do so.

In PJ’s 10/05 Katrina benefit concert with Robert Plant & the Strange Sensation, Given to Fly and Goin’ to California were played back to back. Elsewhere, Eddie frequently mentions the ‘connection,’ ‘influence,’ or ‘homage.’ So it’s not an Avril Lavigne type situation. Just sayin’.

avril laveine’s girlfriend and the robinoos’s song about i wanna be your boyfriend

anybody else notice that the last 35 seconds of “give it away” by the red hot chili peppers is the exact same riff as black sabbath’s “sweet leaf”

I think Finger Eleven - Paralyzer sounds less like Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out and more like Zeppelin Led - Trampled Under Foot.

Actually, Offspring’s “Why Don’t You Get a Job” is like a mashup of “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” and Simon and Garfunkel’s “Cecelia”

Blues Traveler? That’s funny! They got there chord progression for ‘The Hook’ from the canon of some baroque composer named Johann Pachelbel.

If you’re going to steal then steal from someone who’s been dead for 300 years.

blues traveller “run around”
springsteen “rosalita”

o man, how’d I miss this one?

I’ve said for years that Nirvana’s “Come as You Are” rips off Killing Joke’s “Eighties.” Listen to the riffs.

Also…Escape Club’s “Wild West” does its own Elvis Costello “Pump It Up” vibe.

The Who - Eminence Front vs Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You

America - Ventura highway vs
David Gray - Babylon

Yeah, Kevin, slamming rap makes you a racist, right.

Jeff: More Than A Feeling and Smells Like Teen Spirit have similar cords during the refrain. I have heard that before this list ever came out.

How about when John Forgerty was sued for sounding too much like himself. Run Through the Jungle and the Old Man Down the Road.

all the early Who songs (I Can’t Explain, My Generation, et friggin cetera) are rips of all the early Kinks songs (you really got me, all day and all of the night…), and all the early Kinks songs are rips of louie louie.

so put that in your fife and toke it.

I dig the Strokes and everything, but you can find something in virtually EVERY ONE of their songs that was copped from somewhere else. There’s a song on the new album (can’t remember the name) that totally rips off the chorus from “Mandy” by Barry Manilow…I SWEAR TO GOD.

They make the rip offs sound good, though. (Yes, debatable I know).

How about the Chuck Berry classic “You Can’t Catch Me” and The Stooges awesome “1970″? THEY ARE THE SAME!!

That funky town song and the doors “changling” have a very similar feel

I just realized an incredible one… Scar Tissue by the Red Hot Chili Peppers VS. Intuition by Jewel

this rock list needs to be used again this weekend, I’m sure most people have given more thought to it since Monday

Oh, also Cheap Trick’s “Woke Up With a Monster” and Michael Jackson’s “Black or White.”

These two were released within a year of each other which seems to usually be the case when it comes to these “funny coincidences.”

Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven Is a Place On Earth” sorta sounds like Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On a Prayer” dunnit?

Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven Is a Place On Earth” sorta sounds like Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On a Prayer” dunnit?

Umm, “Live And Let Die” was covered by GNR, but it’s a Paul McCartney song.

And nice to hear from the racists, claiming rap rips off everything. Ask your average delta bluesman what they think of the Rolling Stones.

My contributions: Boss Hog’s “Winn Coma” and Offspring’s “Come Out And Play.”

American Breed’s “Bend Me Shape Me” and Garbage’s “I Think I’m Paranoid”

The choruses from the Pixies’ “Where is my Mind” and Juliana Hatfield’s “Somebody is Waiting for Me” are virtually identical.

“Where is my Mind”: E, C#m, G#m, A

“Somebody is Waiting for Me”: E, C#m, G#, A

what about wonderwall and boulevard of broken dreams, dn’t they souond alike

what about wonderwall and boulevard of broken dreams

The Chemical Brothers “Setting Sun” is remarkably like The Beatles “Tomorrow Never Knows”. But I think it was a tribute to the Beatles, not a rip off.

all rap songs sound like eveyone else as they rip off eveybody the list would be way to long to name

No wonder Oasis was claiming to be better than the Beatles. They ripped off every great artist they came acrossed. What about weird al….he’s ripped of everybody…jk

Fine young cannibals - “She drives me crazy”
Green Day - “When I come around”

They also share the G C Em D progression with “More than a feeling’s” chorus

Nobody has mentioned Norwegian Wood by the Beatles and fourth time around by Dylan. These songs have the exact same melody. It seems Dylan must have still been using the folkie tradition of ripping off melodies and putting new words in.

automobile blues and leporad skiin pill box hat

OOPS!!! Meant # 9 NOT # 12!! Sorry people!!

Nos.5&6 SOUND nothing alike!
As for # 12, yeah, it’s nearly picture perfect, so who ripped off who on those 2 songs?? ” R.O.C.K In The U.S.A.” vs “What I like About You” is NOT alike at all.And I KNEW that #12 sounded like the Beatles.! Now if I could only convince my 17 y/o son that they’re alike!

i’m way late on this list but silverchair’s tommorow sounds a bit like more than a feeling too

also the drum part to begin offspring’s gone away sounnds pretty much the same as the begining drumming of NIN’s head like a hole

Sister Hazel “All for You” and Blues Traveler “Run Aronud”

Is Iggy Pop Anthony Kiedis’ father?==Rock

Can’t believe no one’s said this one…Tom Petty “Last Dance with Mary Jane” and Red Hot Chili Peppers “Dani California”

The music in the verses would be identical if not for Flea’s elaborate playing….

actually, i see that someone did mention this, but it’s worth mentioning twice.

here’s one: beatles “while my guitar gently weeps” AND d12 “purple pills”.

Cat Stevens Father and Son
Flamming Lips Fight Test

Hasn’t anyone noticed how “Down Boys” by Warrant is a rip-off of “Bye Bye Love” by The Cars? Listen to the chords in the verse and pre-chorus!

The Strokes - “Last Night” and Tom Petty’s “American Girl”

The Strokes - “Last Night” and Tom Petty’s “American Girl”

Nobody mentions My Sweet Lord and He’s So Fine? A successfully prosecuted case on unconscious plagerism?

the drum break in RHCP “Hump De Bump” is wayyyyy too similiar to the drum break in “Halloween” by Dave Matthews Band, like seriously…listen to it and say otherwise…i dare you

The Strokes - You only live once
Everclear - My Sexual Life

And everything else has been posted already

I’ve always thought “Smells Like Teen Spirit” ripped off Wham’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go.” Seriously, if you listen to both songs back to back 350 times while putting together model airplanes in a poorly ventilated room - the similarities are pretty freakin’ obvious. George Micheal, you should sue.

Miranda Lambert’s “Kerosene” sounds eerily like Steve Earle’s “I Feel Alright.” It’s just twice as fast.

Heres one I recently discovered.. Losing my Religion- REM
Thought I knew you- Matthew Sweet

How about “All day and all of the night” by the Kinks and “Destroyer” by the Kinks!

The opening drums to The Knack’s “My Sharona,” and Motion City Soundtrack’s “Everything is Alright.”

RE: DBO | 7/18/2007, 1:11 am EST
“nirvana’s about a girl reminds me of the beatles i saw her standing there”

It was Kurt Cobain’s intention to write that song in a Beatlesque style. The Beatles were one of his influences.

nirvana’s about a girl reminds me of the beatles i saw her standing there

nirvana’s about a girl reminds me of the beatle’s i saw her standing there

READYMADE OF RHCP & STORMBRINGER OF DEEP PURPLE!!!!

Tell what about READYMADE of Red Hot Chili Peppers and STORMBRINGER of Deep Purple.
and Breaking the Girl of RHCP & manic deppresion of Jimi Hendrix???

AC/DC’s Rock N roll Damnation borrows the main riff from Thin Lizzy’s Rosalie.

Also, as for the whole More Than A Feeling / Smells Like Teen Spirit thing, if you can get ahold of the Nirvana bootleg CD, Outcesticide V (5), there’s a track where Kurt kind of uses the chorus from More Than A Feeling as an intro for Teen Spirit. Whatever. Hardly anything in pop/rock music isn’t a rip-off/tribute to something else…

Yes, I agree with The Kinks Picture Book and Green Day Warning. Is not that they just sound alike, they are in fact the same song with different words. Shame on Green Day.

silverchair- leave me out
black sabbath- sweet leaf
*silverchair stole the main riff

guns n roses- civil war
guns n roses- live and let die
*basically the same chorus

offspring- dirty magic
offspring- have you ever
*same chorus

Puddle of Dumm - She Hates Me

=

Suicidal Tendencies - I Saw Your Mommy

“Beverly Hills” sounds a lot like Queen’s “We Will Rock You” to me

Most of these are a bit of a stretch. Isn’t there anything else going on Rolling Stone could report on?

this list sucks. rs needs to do less of this bs and write some record reviews… no new ones in weeks. gotb

trampled under foot by zeppeling stolen by franz ferdinand in take me out.

Chris Cornell - “Killing Birds” (from “Carry On”)and Garbage - “Boys Wanna Fight” (from “Bleed Like Me”)

Slick-Guitarist,

Mustaine co-wrote four horsemen when he was part of metallica

Threefor:

“Shake You Down” Gregory Abbott
“Caravan of Love” Isley Brothers
“Human” Human league

Threefor:

“Shake You Down” Gregory Abbott
“Caravan of Love” Isley Brothers
“Human” Human league

Radiohead’s “Creep” rips The Hollies “Air That I Breathe”

Yeah, I totally agree with Daughtry’s “It’s Not Over” and Fuel’s “Hemhorrage”. What a double diss for not joining the band!

What about Finger Eleven’s “Paralyzer” and Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out”? Not too much of a difference musically.

Kid Rock’s ” I Am” and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “All I Can Do Is Write About It”

what a like about you by the romantics and R-O-C-K in the USA by John Cougar Mellencamp

In Flames - the Jester Race

Boston - Peace of Mind

How about every song panic at the disco sings with every song fall out boy sings. EMO sucks. Good job putting those bands on the cover RS.

you forgot the most obvious one! Metallica stole 4 horsemen from Dave Mustaine’s Mechanix!!

two zeppelin sound-alikes:
Achilles’ last stand — Heart’s “Barracuda”

Trampled under foot — Doobie Brothers’ “Long Train Running”

What about “Let it Grow” by Eric Clapton and “November Rain” by Guns N Roses. I always thought they had this one part that was identical - basically the background riff in Let it Grow sounds like the piano breakdown in November Rain.

happy mondays - lazy-itis v. beatles - ticket to ride and
your mom and YOUR mom.

Those sounds don’t sound similar at all, unless you mean the include a couple of the same chords.

T-Rex “Bang a Gong”; Oasis “Cigarettes and Alcohol” (the rhythm guitar riff)

John Lennon “Imagine”; Oasis “Don’t Look Back in Anger” (the opening piano chords)

I’ve noticed REM just keeps recycling a lot of the same chord progressions in their songs, but I don’t knw if you can accuse a band of sounding like itself.

The Raconteurs’s “Steady As She Goes” and Joe Jackson’s “Is She Really Going Out With Him?”

25 or 6 to 4-chicago and Brainstew-green day. they quite literally stole the riff from that song and just shortened it. how about the riff to Louie Louie and Wild Thing???

Elvis Costello’s “Tramp the Dirt Down” and Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely.”

Tom Petty “Breakdown” and the Decemberists “Summersong”

the opening riffs are pretty much the same, just in different keys and with different instruments. listen though

where is the love is a cover that predates torn. the natasha bettingfield song these words is closer. the bassline on the chorus of more than a feeling and smells like teen spirit are the same, for anyone who’s confused. my money is on the boxtops’ 1967 “the letter” and the beatles’ 1968 “Glass onion” (as well as countless beatles songs that sound like glass onion, including Harrison’s when we was fab)

X Offender and Born To Run? Don’t see it except that they both have an early 1960’s feel. The Killers sound like The Entire Born To Run and Darkness albums (and I like it)but not any specific song (ok the end of Sam’s Town is the end of BTR)

What is the Puddle Of Mudd song that sounds exactly like the song fron Grease??

Ray Lamontagne’s - Three More Days is Otis Redding’s Let Me Come on Home.

I forgot this one:
The Psychadelic Furs: Love My Way and Semisonic’s “Singing in My Sleep”

HOW DOES GREEN DAY’S ‘JESUS OF SUBURBIA’ SOUND LIKE BRYAN ADAMS’ ‘SUMMER OF ‘69′?? I DON’T HEAR A RESEMBLANCE AT ALL!!

AC/DC’s Rock N Roll Damnation usses the same riff as Thin Lizzy’s Rosalie.

three delicious takes on henry mancini’s “peter gunn” groove:

weezer: hashpipe
strokes: Juicebox
cyndi lauper: she bop

love ‘em all, and there are more…

Oasis “Cigarretes and Alcohol” has the same riff as T-Rex “Get it On”

You guys must be deaf “Given to fly” and “Going to California” sound a little similar but not the top 20.

Once again Paris Hilton Ripped off UB40!!!!!Listen “stars are blind” and Ub40’s ” Kingston Town”

Queen - Under Pressure
Vanilla Ice - Ice, Ice, Baby

elvis costello/nick lowe: “what’s so funny ’bout peace love and understanding” - and - los lobos: “will the wolf survive”

pachabel: “canon”
barry manilow: “hold the pickles…have it your way” for burger king

Don’t forget Iggy Pops Passenger and Green Days Holiday and John Mayers Waiting on the World to Change and Curtis Mayfields People get Ready

I agree with the Karma Police/Sexy Sadie one. How about Radiohead’s Street Spirit (Fade Out) and Kansas’ Dust in the Wind- anyone mention that one yet?

Everything wolfmother has ever done with everything thats been done before.

Actually, the intro to “Smells Like Teen Spirit” sounds like the intro to the James Gang’s “Walk Away”.

FERGIE SAMPLED THE BEAT FROM SUPERSONIC!!!! NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS

To Randall F: The first time I heard Karma Police back in 1997, I immediately saw the connection between KP’s chorus and Sexy Sadie. I hear you!

Red Hot Chili Pepper’s “Cabron” and Plain White T’s “Hey Delilah”. Pretty much the same chord progression.

how could you miss:
Chariots of Fire
and
On Top of Spaghetti
?

how could you miss:
Chariots of Fire
and
On Top of Spaghetti

matt, you are so wrong.

“Last Resort” by Papa Roach is a rip off of Iron Maiden’s “Hallowed Be Thy Name”

Also “Come as You Are” by Nirvana and “Eighties” by Killing Joke are sound alikes. I believe that Killing Joke sued over that one.

It seems that the “great” Green Day have made several appearance on this list.They are such a fucking joke.

“Sexy Sadie” by the Beatles, and “Karma Police” by Radiohead. Am I only the person who sees this!?! It’s the exact same piano melody at the end of both choruses! The exact same!!!

What about oppening riffs of Rolling Stones’ “Hold on to your hat” and Kaiser Chief’s “Ruby”?

Papa Roach’s “Last Resort” rips off Green Day’s “Brain Stew.”

Yeah somebody’s said it already, but the most blatant and similar-sounding ripoff I’ve ever heard was the first 5 seconds of Oasis’ “Don’t Look Back in Anger” compared to “Imagine” by John Lennon. EXACT same chord progression, EXACT same tempo (as well as the fact that it’s on piano). That belongs WAY past the likes of The Killers and Nazareth.

Coldplay’s “Clocks” and (again) Coldplay’s “Speed of Sound”

How about Kinks “Catch Me Now I’m Falling” and Rolling Stones “Jumping Jack Flash?”

Bowling for Soup “1985″
There was Springsteen, Madonna, it was way before Nirvana”

Beach Boys “Kokomo”
Aruba, Jamaica, Babe I wanna take ya down to Kokomo

Try listening to both songs 1000 times on the radio and see if you agree…..

I always thought that Nirvana’s song “Aneurysm” sounded like “More than a Feeling”

can’t believe Rolling Stone left The Strokes “Last Night” vs. Tom Petty’s “American Girl” off their list.

also - the guitar riff in The White Stripe’s “Icky Thump” is definitely an homage to Deep Purple’s “My woman from tokyo”

Huey Lewis and the News - I Want A New Drug / Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters

Big squabble over that one.

The Twilight Sad - That Summer, At Home I Had Become The Invisible Boy similar to Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps

Cobain is on record as saying that “Teen Spirit” was inspired by the chord changes and strumming in “More Than A Feeling.”

how about

Lily Allen’s LDN
and
Paul Gascoigne’s Fog on the Tynn

three songs sounding same:
jane’s addiction - been caught stealing
third eye blind - semi-charged life
the fratellis - flathead

What about Texas’ “Black Eyed Boy” and The Beatles’ “While my Guitar Gently Wheeps”? They are pretty similar!

Iron and Wine - Evening on the Ground vs. The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldier… Jack White even claims he’s done ripping himself off, “Evening” came out first… subtle hint?

This one was on purpose:

Just What I Needed - The Cars

Stacy’s Mom - Fountains of Wayne

Tom Petty’s “American Girl”
The Strokes’ “Last Nite”
Exact same intro. Ditto on the “Last Dance,” “Danni” comparison…

RS’s Shake Your Hips (Exile) & ZZ Top’s La Grange. And who knows where the Stones got it from…

The guitar riff to “Teen Spirit” sounds nothing like “More Than A Feeling”.

Look at the rhythm pattern on paper. Nothing alike. There are no scratches on “More Than A Feeling” and the scratches in “Teen Spirit” are as much a part of the riff as the chords.

More Than A Feeling = G - C - E - D

Teen Spirit = F - Bb - Ab - Db

There is absolutely nothing there other than a 1 4 modulation in the first two chords.

I was going to post about You Raise Me Up but somebody beat me to it. Anyway I think We Are The World sounds a lot like Do You Hear What I Hear. Or how about the similarities between Touch Me In The Morning and the bridge in Just the Way You Are.

Party Line by The Kinks and Connection by The Rolling Stones

Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones and Mr. Soul by Buffalo Springfield

C’mon Rolling Stone! An obvious oversight: Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar,” and The Dandy Warhol’s “Bohemian Like You.”

What about the Dixie Chicks’ “Taking The Long Way” & George Harrison’s “Won’t Back Down?” They are almost identical?

Oh yeah also,
Linkin Park’s “Shadow of The Day” & U2’s “With Or Without You” are awful close too.

What about the Dixie Chicks’ “Taking The Long Way” & George Harrison’s “Won’t Back Down?” They are almost identical?

Oh yeah also,
Linkin Park’s “Shadow of The Day” & U2’s “With Or Without You” are awful close too.

Here’s a good one.
Green Day’s Brain Stew, and Chicago’s 25 or 6 to 4. The guitar parts are almost completely identical.

wouldnt that mean that blondie and the killers sound alike then?….and how about the fact that obla di obla da is just a rip off of an african reggae song itself. (the song is called obla di obla da…and the rest of the song is ‘life goes on’)

How about the Rolling Stones’ “Only Rock N’ Roll” is a rip-off of T. Rex’s “Get It On”? That’s obvious! But what are the chances of objectivity from this mag given its name?

Also: Kudos ROCK in the USA & What I like about you.

“you lift me up” by Josh Groban is a STEAL of “wind beneath my wings”

“you lift me up” by Josh Groban is a STEAL of “wind beneath my wings”

I’m so glad you agree about that similarity between The Beatles and The Offspring.

o asis eat balls

Late to the party. But the most obvious one (in my book) is nowhere on the list…

Chris Isaak’s Baby Did a Bad Bad thing is a great song. But probably because he ripped off almost an even better song. One of the best in fact…

ZZ Top. La Grange. Check it out. In fact, that riff has been used COUNTLESS times. But Chris’ is probably the most obvious.

didnt notice the clash/who one before

I know no one will catch this one, but check out Sammy Hagar’s “20th Century Man” from the late 1970s and ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man” and tell me the boys in Tejas didn’t just flat out steal Hagar’s riffs. I don’t care … just saying.

Thank you

Off topic comments will be deleted… How boring is that?

How did none of you catch my horrible rip off of The Joker by the Steve Miller Band when I wrote Beverly Hills???? For the record, I was not ripping off Pour Some Sugar On Me.

An invitation…How exciting these satanic 70s. This magical time when reality and fantasy are so cleverly disguised by the media masters. Full color shootouts nightly on all channels. In the movies. In the news. Fact or Fiction? Check your local TV listings, if you’re left confused. Here at The Paradise we offer a special blend of fantasy and fact. Atrocity and art. Music and murder twice nightly. And is the horror you witness mere theatrics or is it real. The only way to be sure …is to participate. At The Paradise our performers are contracted to entertain you at any cost! And entertain they will. Trust me….Swan

everyone is ripping off the rutles these days…

Listen to the verses of Dani and Last dance. Same music different tempos.

Nirvana v. Boston. Listen to the music during the verses of Last Dance and Dani. They sound exactly the same just different tempos.

Hey Nirvana V. Boston. Listen to the music during verses of Last Dance with Mary Jane. Sounds exactly the same as the verses in Dani California just faster.

The Rolling Stones- Satisfaction Neil Young- Mr.Soul

Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash

Limbo Rock - Chubby Checker

Coldplay - The Scientist : Sum 41 - Pieces. Crazy bad rip.

Nirvana’s “Rape Me” is a rip off of GWAR’s “Pussy Planet”

Every Led Zepplin song is a ripoff of one blues artist’s song or another. They’re the worst thieves ever!

“Complicated” by Avril Lavigne and “The Real Thing” by Bo Bice

Lester b wrote of the incredible similarity between “i want you” (mc5) and “wild thing” not too long ago.

the beginning of My Bloody Valentine’s “soon” sounds almost exactly the same as the beginning of Men Without Hats’ classic song “Safety Dance”

Ok, listen. The beginning lick of Smells Like Teen Spirit is what the song is most known for. Dum, Dum, dum ::pause:: dum-dum, dum, dum dum. Get it? This is the part of Teen Spirit they’re referencing.

In more than a feeling, right after they say “More than a feeling” the nearly identical riff is performed similar to the Nirvana song. It is also repeated throughout the song, mainly in the solo towards the end….

Now can someone explain to me how the oddball above me thinks that Last Dance with Mary Jane and Danni California sound similar.

How come NOBODY has mentioned green day’s “boulevard of broken dreams” and oasis’ “wonderwall”. Don’t trust me? Check here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =vNLop_nuCzo
exacte same chords. Got Liam all pissed (no surprise, really)

i don’t know when you guys found that link to the soundalike web page, but i’m sad for everybody involved with this list, readers included, that none of us got the “heat of the moment”/”video killed the radio star” soundalike. that should have been numbers 1-5. i’m ashamed of us all.

Maroon 5’s “Makes Me Wonder” kinda sounds like Michael Jackson’s “PYT”.

Anything by Oasis is Beatlesque. Dicks.

The Clash used the Who’s Can’t Explain for both Guns on the Roof and Clash City Rockers. Bon Jovi’s You Give Love a Bad Name combines Roxy Music’s Love is the Drug and Styx’s Blue Collar Man.

One that people defintely forgot: The Doors “Five to One” and Modest Mouse’s “Black Cadillacs”. They feature the same exact pounding guitar part.

Cat Scratch Fever and Smoke on The Water anyone?!

im telling you,

phish - 46 days
stones - slave

Radiohead’s “Climbing up the Walls” and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s “Rifle”.

aerosmith’s “crying” and “crazy”. the same shite sold twice

‘blond prostitute’ by pig destroyer and ‘isn’t she lovely?’ by stevie wonder.

the view ’same jeans’ and ‘brimful of asha’ by cornershop…only the most talked-about sound-alikes of the year.

“Ghostbusters” and “I Want A New Drug”

John Fogerty was once sued by his old record company for ripping off himself - the similiarites between “Run Through The Jungle” and “The Old Man Down The Road” - and he actually had to demonstrate in court that the songs were different. He won the case thankfully.

this list sucks

America’s “DAISY JANE”[c.1975] & Janet Jackson’s “Let’s Wait A While”[c.late 80’s]…note for note.

Tom Petty’s “Last Dance with Mary Jane” and Chilli Peppers “Danni California”

Bob Marley’s Buffalo Soldier and the Banana Splits theme song.

Agh!! Have you not heard ‘Start!’ by the Jam and ‘Taxman’ by the Beatles. Redo the list please!!!

Shouldn’t The Doors’ “Hello I love You” and The Kinks “All Of The Day and All Of The Night” be at the top of this list?

Here is another good one. Oasis’ Morning Glory and REM’s The One I love.

Jeff, it’s the guitar riff in Smells Like Teen Spirit that sounds similar to More then a Feeling.

John Denver successfully sued New Order over ‘Leaving on a Jet Plane’’s supposed similarity to ‘Run’ - I’ve listened to both songs and cant for the life of me figure out how they’re similar other then having roughly the same tempo and a la-di-da melody.

everybody wants to be us, Wilco, the greatest rock and roll band ever!

Sorry I missed this post…but I had to point out how nobody ever called out Britney…”Oops I Did it Again” and “Hit me Baby 1 More Time” were the same exact same song…right down to the breaks, the key change, and the phrasing of the lyrics.

I TOLD YOU BEFORE…DAUGHTRY’S “IT’S NOT OVER” AND FUEL’S “HEMHORRAGE”!!!!!!!!

Most of the songs listed are homages…so of course they sound alike…the Killers’ “When You Were Young” is a purposeful take-off on “Born to Run”. Same with “Given to Fly” and “Going to California”. Elasitica’s “Connection” even has a “3-Girl Rhumba” sample in it, for chrissakes.

There’s a big difference between homage and theft or accidental similarity.

This list is so weird, idiotic, and wrong on every count.

You guys still have to explain how “Smells Like Teen Spirit” sounds anything like “More Than A Feeling”.

And how could you leave out “R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.” vs. “What I Like About You”??
