Stormbringer Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 As the title says, lets post song that sound similar to some other. I'm not necessarily talking about plagiarism here, though it might be in some cases. But songs that at least coincidentally share some similarities in melody, harmony or such with some other work. I'll start with this song from Rival Sons' first album: Pocketful of Stones This band owes a lot of it's sound to Led Zeppelin, but that song in particular sounds a lot like these 2: Houses of the Holy And Dancing Days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 This is quite a well known song by Deep Purple: Child in Time Which is suspiciously similar to this song by It's Beautiful Day Bombay Calling Actually, Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore admits that he "borrowed" Bombay Calling's main riff to write Child in Time.

Stormbringer Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 These 2 songs are by Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the funny fact here is that both songs are actually in the same album (Texas Flood) Pride and Joy I'm Crying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Just heard this song by Testament And it immediately reminded me of this one by Black Sabbath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 I remembered this one a couple of days ago: Stained Class - Judas Priest (1978) Death From Above - Anthrax (1984) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Oh, and since we're talking Judas Priest, another one: Running Wild - Judas Priest (1978) The Wicker Man - Iron Maiden (2001) (Actually it's just part of the main riff, but that little part it's pretty much the same ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Same drummer, same year Judas Priest - Starbreaker David Coverdale (soon to be Whitesnake) - Lady Both from 1977, both with drummer Simon Philips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngSciNaGirl Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Is it only my idea or chorus of "Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name " sounds pretty much like chorus of "Bonnie Tyler - If You Were A Woman" ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Rival Sons strike again: Part of the intro reminds me a lot of this song by Pink Floyd While the end is suspiciously similar to the middle section of this one, again by Pink Floyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Led Zeppelin stole SO MUCH old Blues on their first couple of albums...

Stormbringer Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Credit to @Limerlight for reminding me of this. This Tom Petty's song spawned no one but 2 similar songs: The most obvious: And: (In The White Stripes defense I once made a pretty much identical riff without having heard either this song or Tom Petty's before, so I guess is not that hard an idea to come by ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
