Friday night music......with a twist

[OLDROKERENDER]

This one always sounded very much like Elvis Costello to me

 

[Binxy]

Ha ha

Yeah get it. Has he ever sung anything else ?

Not that I'm aware of.

 

[mad cyril]

Gonna go off the sound a like theme here, but heard this for first Time on Steve Lamacq show this week. What an unbelievably good tune this is.
Big Sleep / Simple Minds.

 

[T_Bone]

Better imo

For years, I thought tha Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes was actually a Rod Stewart song.

I listened to the whole of that. It was good. It was what I expected from them. Nothing more

I’d heard their earlier album Empires and Dance and thought it was really great. I really enjoyed this album and thought it was a perfect bridge from their earlier sound to mega stardom. No idea why it was played in its entirety this week on radio.

 

[Son of Stan]

Just recently discovered this bloke who was recording in the 60s and 70s who was called the one man Beatles.

 

[Colbert]

The Carpenters

Songs that sound like someone else and if you can’t be bothered with that just post owt you like.
My offer is this, now who does this sound like ?

That is such a class song. I absolutely love it.

Love this thread.

its very much a new order rip off but many bands have done that
Her indoors always think this Bowie classic is the Stones

What a coincidence...just listening to the Bowie Loving The Alien boxed set, The Glass Spider live album version of that song, right now

 

[Osklen]

 

[ivanthereasonable]

This lot REALLY wanted to sound like Abba...

And look like them.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

A bit of an odd tune for this band that turned out to be one of their more popular ones

 

[ivanthereasonable]

Got this album. Is n't there a connection with the waterboys ?

 

[Bladecat]

Love that song and the album... Somebody Up There Likes You is awesome

I like their earlier stuff a lot . I Travel is brilliant, heard "Love Song" the other week for the first time in ages which never dates, and Songs for Great Cities was ahead of its time. Forbes basslines were great.... they then lost their subtlety and became ever more stadium rock, though I do like Waterfront ( even though Sheff Wednesday used to run out to it )

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

This Anthony Newley song sounds like David Bowie -

 

[Mr Vertigo]

Really sounds like Ghostface Killah

Really sounds like Steve Reich

Sounds ridiculously like Neil Young

I don’t get the comparison to Neil Young. I would say it is an original sound and a fantastic song.

 

[EchoMan]

This Anthony Newley song sounds like David Bowie -

Maybe because Bowie was a fan of Newley. Learned a lot from him.

 

[T_Bone]

For no other reason than you mentioned them on another thread

One of my favourite albums.
