Beat on the brat / Swallow My Pride - The Ramones

Red Umbrella - Kostars / Kiss Me - Sixpence none the richer


That other Jet one

from the second album, and Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis.


That's completely right...

God i hate jet.


Taking the easy answer

Nickelback - How You Remind Me/Nickelback - Someday

The Walkmen - The Rat

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone - Young Shields


both

amazing though


The Scissor Sisters/Elton John

SS - She's My Man
Elton John - I'm Still Standing.


just noticed

cowcow got it first, but still... there is the link


oh bollocks

should have read the thread


Thank you

That's fucking hilarious!


Flaming Lips - Fight Test/Cat Stevens - Father And Son

there's a dandy warhols song that sounds exactly like an early Feeder song too, but i can't remember which ones


I was about to say this

It is We Used To Be Friends by the DW and Day In Day Out by Feeder


^^^ the flaming lips thing

in the end I think they ended up paying royalities to Cat Stevens as it sounded so similar!

^ explains


But

Surely that's intentional?


Damn you!

You beat me to it!


or you know, just mystery jets

that 'the' is going to annoy me now.


I can't

actually believe how similar these melodies are!!

I really liked that Mystery Jets song as well.

DO you think they just saw the film and directly ripped it off??

How bizzare.

How bizzare. How bizzare.


Cat Stevens/Flaming Lips

Father & Son and er, that one. Can't remember the title. Anyway. They sound identical.


Oh bollocks

beat me to it.


.

mono-golden porsche
love ends disaster-ladders


Mogwai*


haha

oops..


Pah

:P


Hmm

Sonic Youth - Untitled
Modest Mouse - Blame It On The Tetons

(at least the main melodic riff)


hmm

Pulp - Disco 2000

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=v3NZq9eP1nk

Laura Branigan - Gloria

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=SdVEM5WMDo0

This has bugged me for over 10 years now...


And actually,

even more, the original verison of Gloria which You Tube tells me is by Umberto Tozzi

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=WzDLHcY9nW4


the intro to deus song 'via'

is almost identical to placebo's lady of the flowers, i think its that placebo song , either way, it does!


Dillinger Four - doublewhiskeycokenoice

Green Day - American Idiot


buzzcocks - ever fallen in love

and that lil chris song


nobody would believe me when i said this

but now it's on the internet, i'm the one who's laughing


king adora - suffocate

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgWUsz4uPIk

Smashing Pumpkins - Stand inside your love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAV6rWUyqCc

The crowd at King Adora gigs used to even change the words when they played it.


whatever made you want me?

me and my friend once accused a king adora of this in a nightclub, he said, naaah, its only the bassline and the chords...
it was the melody too. and the production. i dunno which i prefer now tho.


sigur ros

their new song gobbledigook is clearly 'who could win a rabbit' by animal collective


Neyo's new song

same beats and bassline as Rihanna's Please Don't Stop The Music.
EXACTLY THE SAME


Casiotone

have a song on their most recent album (no idea which track) which I swear at the start sounds exactly the same as Don't Look Back In Anger by The Oasiseses. Its alright.


Isn't this the intro

to 'Imagine' anyway?


George Harrison - My Sweet Lord

and The Chiffons - He's So Fine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJXc6JUOUc8

It's identical.


Man

I was gonna start a thread about New Face In Hell/Conduit For Sale. Although NFIH is quite similar "What Goes On" by The Velvet Underground.

My contributions:

Killing Joke's "Eighties" vs. Nirvana's "Come As You Are" (Well known that one)

The vocal line to "Echoes" by The Rapture is very similar to "Careering" by Public Image Ltd.

Less obvious but "Kiss of Life" by Supergrass sounds an awful lot like "Crosseyed and Painless" by Talking Heads.


The opening bit of 'Great DJ' by The Tings Tings

and 'Mamma Mia' by Abba. I always get the two confused.


Are you sure

you're thinking of the right abba track?


Anything All American Rejects

literally, anything.


All I Need - Radiohead

and Roygbiv - Boards of Canada


also see/hear:

Videotape - R-Head
Gyroscope - BoC


how

had dandy warhols "bohemian like you"/stones "black sugar" not got a mention?
See also: kerbdog's 'Earthworks' with Pearl Jam's 'Even Flow', a song off Bush's Golden State album that sound note for note like Smashing Pumpkins' 'Imploding Voice'


Tom Pettys's American Girl and...

The Strokes Last Nite start exactly the same.


^I didn't think it was possible but

this is so true it's like radiohead slowed the track down and added vocals


bah meant

to post that under the Radiohead BoC post


and...

r-head - reckoner
sebastien tellier - la ritournelle


pixies holiday song

von bondies c'mon c'mon


woah

good call...never noticed but yr right.


It's gotta be...

Coldplay's "Clocks"

Sounds just like...

Coldplay's "Speed of Sound"


^^

I never understood how they got away with that. You can sing one over the other and not notice the difference


standing on the edge of control

and greed by fugazi both have identical intros. but guy picciotto did produce the gossip...


The verse of

What You Waiting For? by Gwen Stefani sounds just like the verse of Weezer's Hash Pipe


BRMC - Spread your love

Doctor and the medics - Spirit in the sky.


'Town called Hypocrisy' by Lost Phrophets

rips off 'Eton Rifles'


QOTSA

god is on the radio also sounds a bit like spirit in the sky.


Town Called Hypocrisy

also rips off the chorus to Bleed The Freak by Alice in Chains.


mariah carey totally

plundered that Tom Tom Club song a few years back. the injustice.


BRMC - Soread your love

Morrissey - Glamorous Glue


oops

can't spell AND put it in the wrong place. oh well.


LostProphets

Burn Burn is Killer by Adamski with more shouting


Lyrics from Dandy

Warhols' We Used To Be Friends are used in an Irvine Welsh book. The songwriting credits are the 3 Feeder guys and the Dandys' singer. Maybe he heard Day In Day Out and decided he wanted to recycle it... lazy.

The intro to the Foos' All My Life sounds like a chugalug punk cover of Proclaimers' 500 Miles. To me anyway.

And the Jet/Iggy rip off is possibly the most infuriating thing ever when you're in a club.


the start of 'naomi' by nmh

is virtually the same as 'where is my mind' by the pixies. and there was a cooper temple clause song (promisies promises?) whose main riff was exactly the same as 'drunken butterfly' off "dirty". there's fucking loads, isn't there?


Today

by the Smashing Pumpkins is a shittier Where Is My Mind too


I couldn't believe when I bought 'dirty'

just how blantant that cooper temple clause riff- steal is and yet at the time I don't remember anyone mentioning it.


:-O

i'd never heard drunken butterfly before. i just youtubed it and promises promises does sound just like it


for the intro, really

Wipers - Potential Suicide vs Nirvana - Dive


The Hoosiers - Goodbye Mr A

and ELO - Hey Mr Blue Sky.


This annoys me.

The Hoosiers are SHIT.


The Hoosiers- Cops and Robbers and The Cure- Lovecats.

The intros are identical!

Also any Scouting for girls song...sounds like any other scouting for girls song.


rhcp - dani california =

tom petty - last dance with mary jane.


belle and sebastian - the model

and camera obscura - number one son

especially the intros


ie!

so nice!


retarded panda

imagine being chad kroeger


:D


this baby knows whats awesome

http://www.benjamminkids.com/images/head2.jpg

i bet it listens to animal collective


I Can't Explain - The Who

sounds a lot like All Day and All Night by The Kinks and it came out just a few months after it.
