Bands who sound like other bands

[Big Jeff]

I’ll start

Greta Van Fleet = Led Zeppelin - particularly Led Zep 1 era.

Over to you

 

[Wild Card]

For a canny while I though the churches under the milky way was a song by echo and the bunnymen.

Not helped by the Donnie darko soundtrack labelling it as a song from echo and the bunnymen.

 

[Tuono]

Marillion, first time I heard Kayleigh I just assumed it was Genesis.

 

[thefatghost]

Always thought the song ‘Horse with no name’ was by Neil Young

 

[ErichZann]

Pantera / Exhorder

 

[Longy]

When I was younger I though The Only One I Know by the Charlatans was the Stone Roses.

 

[Qwerty]

Used to get David Cassidy and David Essex mixed up. Mam loved them both and as a 6 year old I can remember them being played to death.

 

[Kevj]

For a long time I thought Betty Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes was Rod Stewart

 

[Amokachi]

The Cure & New Order

I used to think that 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' (by Yes) was by The Police

Thank god for that - The Cure are one of my favourite bands and Bob is a genius.

 

[Shambo]

Surprised Arctic Monkeys never sued Milburn for copying them a few years back.

 

[Cee Jay]

The Cure & New Order

Not in any way...my two favourite bands and about the only thing in common is the time they've been going.
Nothing like each other musically

I remember reading about a case of plagiarism regarding CCR and their singer/songwriter John Fogerty after he went solo. Fogerty who was obviously the voice of CCR was sued by the record label for sounding too much like them. He was essentially accused of ripping off himself. The right guy won the case.

 

[Shambo]

The Cure & New Order

nope
