t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m 3,893 Posted July 8, 2014 The idea of this topic is to post songs that "unintentionally" sound similar to each other. I'll start: Soundgarden - Hands All Over(1990) Pearl Jam - Even Flow(1992) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Homemade Dynamite 4,040 Posted July 8, 2014 Nickelback - Every song they've ever made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
make total destroy 19,792 Posted July 8, 2014 To be honest, I've always found Pearl Jam and Soundgarden to sound quite similar in general but damn, I didn't realize they sound that much alike. Anyways, a few years back, Anti-Flag (lol sh*tband) put out this song: Well, they got quite a lot of sh*t when people realized it sounded exactly like a song that From Ashes Rise had put out a few years earlier: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zondar 1,984 Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Those 2 songs took me back a bit. Edit; Ninja'd I meant the OP lol The best band my homeland's ever produced are not above "unintentionally" borrowing melodies: Charlene - I've never been to me Belle and Sebastian- Take your Carriage Clock and Shove it.

RoadRunner71 2,941 Posted July 8, 2014 First that come to my mind, RHCP's Dani California (2004) similitudes with Tom Petty's Mary Jane’s Last Dance (1993). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MR9OH6BjOo&sns=em Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hippie 428 Posted July 8, 2014 These two sound similar to me. Really the only ones I could think of right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RiaJay21 316 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Was just listening to these this morning. Not right away, but listen for a minute or so. Maybe it's just me hearing the similarities, though ... and, hell, I wouldn't say it's an outright terrible thing that they sound alike. Besides, I enjoy listening to both songs, so, yeah.

Mr. House 4,190 Posted December 21, 2014 easier to post that Beat me to it. This sort of sh*t isn't funny. It's the sort of basic nonsense first year music students gawp at and find brilliant after they learn basic principles of compositional structures.

mr quick 10,468 Posted December 21, 2014 This sort of sh*t is funny. It's funny because what sells isn't music that takes time to write, it's all functional harmonics in the form of triads, the substitutes of the tonic and subdominant, and every now and then a 'cheeky' secondary dominant. II-V-I? Where have I heard that before? Also, all melodies are either really simple pentatonic based sh*t, or it's all within the comfortable confines of an ionian scale. It's not even good then! It's all just beats and syncopated percussion over the same god-damn chord changes. There's nothing I loathe pop music. Mark Ronson's (feat Bruno Mars) "Uptown Funk" was therefore a fresh breath of air. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
