That sounds just like...

What songs remind you of other songs? I'm not meaning deliberate parodies of bands or artists but songs that, when you first hear it, make you think - well they certainly had a few (insert band/artist) records in their collection growing up.

For example when I hear these songs on the radio -

http://youtu.be/bg1sT4ILG0w

I think that those groups might have heard these at some point -

Any more for any more?

I see what you mean, but tricking me into clicking on links to Maroon 5 and Sting means I'm going to have to put you on ignore. The early eighties look grim as fuck, don't they? Totally ignoring the point of this thread, the monstrous Tyranny Rex hybrid musical entity created by gene splicing Pat Butcher impersonator Jessie J, Beyonce du jour Ariana Grande, and butt with a face Nicky Minaj sounds like something I know, but I can't put my finger on it (the bang bang chorus specifically)

Guitar openers for...
David Bowie 'Queen Bitch' and Nirvana 'Been a Son'.
(not identical, but close enough)

I'm going to have to put you on ignore.

Oh no, Sauchie, don't do that.
I suppose the point of this topic is for me to bitch about how there is a recent musical trend for ripping off The Police and their weedy watered-down sub-reggae sound.

I'm not sure I even know how to use the ignore function, or where it is. Although, thanks to my tablet getting the jitters, I think I have accidentally reported everyone here to the moderator. Dog Deever's mention of Nirvana makes these comparisons inevitable; someone did a videos to save me posting lots of links:

Nirvana - More than a feeling: http://youtu.be/vJx3dhrdPu4

Here's another example of wearing your influences on your sleeve before I go for a feed -

Avenged Sevenfold's This Means War....you know it's sad but true.

Uncanny or incredibly cheeky.

Uncanny or incredibly cheeky.

When I heard it for the first time, my instant thought was "Law suit incoming!!"

Could be worse. Could be Silverchair. Look like Nirvana. Sound like Stone Temple Pilots.

That rapey song that miley Cyrus did a dance at some award show to - sounds like gorillas dare

I couldn't listen to The Verve once I realised that Richard Ashcroft http://youtu.be/0ZIXxVvZrqM was basically a Northern Neil Diamond http://youtu.be/NsLyI1_R01M.
