As soon as I heard this Gary Moore track I though of Jimi's 'Manic Depression'

Cozy Powell's 'Dance with the Devil" is the main riff from Jimi's 'Third Stone from the Sun'

One of the well known ones is I think Killing Joke - Eighties vs. Come As You Are...

I read that the resemblance was completely accidental, but when it was pointed out to them The Hives contacted Jeff Lynne to ask permission to use the riff and gave him a songwriting credit. So, fair play to them.

Chord progression wise, Hotel California and We used to know (Jethro Tull, some years before)

However, Sam Smith would really be the man to chat to at the moment :lol:

One Nickelback song vs. every other Nickelback song

That's not fair. There's a bit of stylistic variety in their reportoire. They are all **** songs though.

The best plagiarism videos on youtube have had all the audio removed for copyright infringements... kinda ironic really...

Hmmmm ... a lot of these are more-or-less straight covers. Even they went uncredited on the original albums (I haven't checked whether that was the case) I'm not sure that counts as "Songs that sound like other songs". They are, after all, the same song.

In fact, one could almost argue that The Song Remains The Same.

:rolleyes:

Fair point.

I've always thought that Raconteurs track also resembled 'Is She Really Going Out With Him?' by Joe Jackson as well!

One of the 'steals' I've always cheekily admired - The Fall, and 'Barmy' -

....and the horn riff from The Monkees 'Valleri' from about 0.53 onwards -

I'll happily take Chad Kroeger's $60m in returning for people cally my band and songs sh*t!

I caught them live in Manchester a few years ago, and they put on a great show. It's a bit formulaic, but then how many band have a 'sound' that just gets repeated? Unless youve seen The Pet Shop Boys live you haven't experienced tedium : their set was basically West End Girls, and the others - the 2 songs they have.

Many, many years ago a band called The New Breed had a pirate radio 'hit' with 'Friends & Lovers Forever'.
Musically it was a full lift of 'Hang on Sloopy' by the McCoys...................
