Sounds just like...

Records that sound so much like another artist:

Andy Kim's "Rock Me Gently" sounds like Neil Diamond.

Bob Crewe Generation's "Music To Watch Girls By" sounds so much like the Tijuana Brass that Herb Alpert used to included it in his concert medley of "songs that have been good to us."

Others?

 

Andy Kim changed his performing name to Baron Longfellow... "Longfellow Serenade" is a Neil Diamond song... hmmmmm....

 

stacy q had two songs and i'm not sure i could tell them apart

 

The lead vocalist of Greta Van Fleet sounds like Janis Joplin on their “A Change is Gonna Come” cover. No suprises though, Janis is an influence for Robert & him.

 

I want a mashup of For What it's Worth and Son of a Preacher Man!

 

"It's Alright", the first cut in Supertramp ‎– Free As A Bird sounds like Matt Bianco:

 

Jeanette Anne Dimech was recently pointed out to me. She sounds exactly like Claudine Longet.



Claudine Longet - Hello, Hello (1967)

 

A lot of the stuff from Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Genesis all sound very similar.

 

Greta Van Fleet anyone???

 

Can’t forget America’s ‘Horse with No Name’ sounded like Neil Young.

And when I first heard Camouflage’s “The Great Commandment,” I swore it was Depeche Mode.

 

Sounds a lot like Jim Morrison and The Doors to me.

 

I've heard that so many times over the years, but to my ears anyway it doesn't. It didn't back in '71 and it doesn't now. Just listened to it moments ago to see if maybe it would change my mind, but nope.

 

Just a few to me, mainly Phil solo compared to Abacab fare, like Man on a Corner, No Reply at All

 

There is an anecdotal story that Neil heard it on the radio and thought it was one of his songs. Easy story to circulate in those days, but I know I’m not alone in thinking it was him back then.

 

Emit Rhodes and Macca

 

Yup, you're certainly not alone. Maybe my ears need a little adjustment, lol.

 

I've mentioned this one before and have been told I'm crazy but I'll say it again: some of the verses of Elvis Costello's "Watching the Detectives" sounds like Prince to me. No one else seems to hear the similarities but me - but everytime I listen to that song I keep thinking of Prince.

 

I'm with you. It never sounded like Neil Young singing to me. Even the music part did not sound like a Neil song.

 

'Do Anything You Wanna Do' - Eddie & The Hot Rods

and

'Starry Eyes' - The Records

and vice versa.

 

I've never seen this mentioned before, but to my ears, Vini Reilly sounds exactly like Genesis P'Orridge.

 

Annoyingly so...

 

Heart's "Barracuda" is a big rip-off of Led Zeppelin's "Achilles Last Stand" --- the main running guitar groove, the changes, even half the drum rolls are exact.

 

Bobby Parker's Watch Your Step, this begat at least 8 "sounds just likes"

Yardbirds - I'm not talking
two Beatles songs
LZ - Moby Dick
Link Wray - The Black Widow
Deep Purple - Rat bat blue

and a few others....

 

When I first heard this song on the radio, I drove to the music store to get the new Social Distortion album. Imagine my disappointment when I found out there WAS no new Social Distortion album.....
Sponge, Plowed:

 

….and in 1981 when Gemini Dream was played on radio, I had my mom drive me downtown so I could buy the new ELO album... Its a great song, but a total ELO rip.
