You hear a song and think wait what had this same kind of melody or chorus, can't put your finger on it. Wondering what songs something sounds like or is ripping off / inspired by etc. Figured it wouldn't quite fit in the identify a song topic, anyways here are a couple songs that I had that thought on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQyOZgrtP3s Love Loaded by Waysted, this 80s rock song, in particular the chorus 55 seconds in, the kind of call and response thing. Reminds me of some song but I don't remember what. The riff is pretty AC/DC-ish, maybe Halen, very by the book rock, but I'm getting deja vu from the refrain bit there. A more recent/known song, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3xcybdis1k The Man by The Killers. I heard this one on the Mega64 podcast, I believe their best song. Everybody should do this disco/synthwave/whatever is happening thing in recent years. I figure they just took two or three classic songs and put them in a blender, mixed with some Kavinsky synth etc, what songs are they is the question. The "money in the bank" etc bit does sound Bee Gees-ish. And if any song gives you deja vu, post it in this ill advised thread, with a license to ill.

We Used To Know by Jethro Tull has been noted as being similar to Hotel California by The Eagles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8VLcYLL7Us

these two songs sound incredibly similar in my head but listening to them both I'm not sure if it's just me or not and I can't pinpoint exactly where the main similarities are. elephant is heavier and imo doesn't mirror the astronaut chorus but the reverb on the vocals and kind of propulsive beat connect these two for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl-rHlusRAs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnKUD_OztRE

^ Beavis and Butthead watching the video for Kids is one of the best moments in that revival season. That is a wild video, catchy song too.The REAL Goobusters posted:That song by the killers sucks op I largely concur there on The Killers, but that refrain, that synth twinkle and whatnot, there's a hit making science at work there. Definitely some Bee Gees and disco/80s pop in general, but I wonder what song has a refrain that sounds most like that out there. The synth riff thingy gets higher throughout, there's a rhythm to that that rings a bell. The underlying beat I guess is just standard disco/80s synth pop. Seaniqua posted:The chorus is the same chord progression, but half a step up, as the verse riff in "Jane" by Jefferson Starship: Very cool call! I've heard that song relatively recently since it's the theme to Wet Hot American Summer, so that's where I've heard the riff before. The call and response vocal bit of the refrain also reminds me of another song, the yelling thing then singing thing over a rock riff, that's in a lot of songs. One being It's Not Love by Dokken, but I think there's one that sounds just like this song I've heard. Also maybe refrains are just giving me deja vu a bit more, since there's generally a certain way of doing them. On songs taking a riff from another song, I liked this nod to Blue Oyster Cult in an Arch Enemy song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=483VfL15oF8 I'll throw another refrain out there, Repeat by Grinspoon. I think that reminds me of something 90s-ish. The opening riff of the song is pretty Pantera-ish though, even though it's an alt-rock song. The refrain reminds me of something though! Call me crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=getS9xAfvUc Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Oct 19, 2017 |

From the first time I heard Celebrate by Metric, I knew it was a pretty shameless ripoff of Underworld's Born Slippy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLg9WUhhhAs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTFrCbQGyvM Also a more recent example: the chorus to Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do is a re-interpretation of Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy, though IIRC I think she credited them as co-writers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNCpifW-U4c Oh and Drake's Practice is a re-interpretation of Juvenile's Back That Azz Up, but Drake used to be on Cash Money Records (I don't know if he still is or not), so that was probably just a case of him paying homage to one of his labelmates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB7UXOBhbPI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjf5VFGshVk And there's The Weeknd's Belong To The World, which he claims does not sample Portishead's Machine Gun even though it totally loving does lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRr8nh0swy4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00PdHIPjaWQ Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Oct 23, 2017 |

I've always thought that the instrumental part in Apple Bottom Jeans was heavily inspired by Another Way by Gigi D'Agostino. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SdqOC8NA7s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBal7MCvHCI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0-CSke-Be8 the verse riff is a total ripoff of STP (:28) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht672-wYelc and the chorus is less obvious, but sounds a lot like the chorus of Rubberband Man (1:00) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7LvjhASLIg

Anybody remember The Wanted? They were that other boy band that popped up around the same time One Direction did in 2012, and the pop music world was salivating for a new late-90s-esque NSYNC-Backstreet showdown. It, uh, didn't happen. Anyway, the only reason I bring them up is because one of their songs totally ripped off the theme to the Elder Scrolls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFS5N_yAGTo&t=41s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uijFznzU7c&t=128s (0:41 and 2:08 if the timestamps didn't work right)

Maybe this is a lot more general of a question than the thread asks, but can you provide some actual bands to listen to in the style of these tracks? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIIkYwT5NZY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKBjbjZfTiM I know it's surf rock, but some recommendations would be very much appreciated.

precision posted:My friend have you heard the good news about Man... or Astro-Man? I have! It's actually very funny, I asked this same question to my facebook friends, but I included "and I've downloaded a ton of man...or astro man? but they are a little too far out there for me." Maybe I should have a listen to their discography, instead of just bouncing off of them.

"One Last Soul" by Black Country Communion sounds a lot like the riff from "Starbreaker" by Judas Priest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr8pgN195Zw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VygbY5jv2n4

The transition to the chorus of the Bee Gees' Lonely Days feels similar to me to that from the Strawbs' Oh How She Changed. Oh How She Changed came out in 1968, Lonely Days in 1970. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKlMdF5vxuo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipwWbZnpgiI Oh How She Changed is reminding me of something else, too, but I can't think of exactly what.
