Music tracks that sound like other Music tracks

Been on a bigtime digging buzz of this sort of stuff lately. Great Tracks that sound very very similar to other great tracks from different artists. "Eighties" by Killing Joke and "Come as you are" by Nirvana

Then you have the definite guitar riff rip of Nirvana's 'Very Ape' for start and continuation of The Prodigy's 'Voodoo People'

Anybody got any of theirs

Can't post videos but George Michael's A Different Corner and U2's Mothers of the Disappeared sound very similar in parts.

Good wan, another two here with U2

The Alphabet Song sounds suspiciously similar to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Duffy the Vampire Slayer · 25-02-2020 12:34AM

There's a song out at the moment that sounds like Blue by Eiffel 65 and it's driving me mad.

There's the famous case of George Harrison's My Sweet Lord being very similar to He's So Fine by the Chiffons. George was sued for copyright infringement.

Lot's of Nirvana above, were they doing the robbing or being robbed?

True. Probably no such thing as an "original" song these days. As Twenty One Pilots say in Stressed Out;

I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang

Which is probably copying someone else somewhere...

The Prodigy directly sampled 'Very Ape' in 'Voodoo People', so it literally is the same guitar riff... it's just been edited. Nirvana are credited on the album for this. There's a good few other tunes sampled on there too!

This video is worth checking out if you want to see how The Prodigy (ie. Liam Howlett) went about making the tune:

thats kinda reproducing the effects with modern technology, I'd love to see it done with samplers and equipment of the time...

Quantum Erasure · 25-02-2020 05:28AM

there was a tune recently enough that had a bit, that sounded like a bit out of 'We're Alive' by Paul van Dyk...

it's here from about 1:36 in the song, linked

can't remember what the song was, but i'm sure someone will point it out

Not so much people robbing from Nirvana and those accused would really be taking from the original people Nirvana took the song from.

I remember the first time I heard Nevermind. Found it utterly boring and effectively just 3 songs reworked that they had ripped off from other people. Popular but not innovative and far too much retrospective importance added to them due Cobain's death.

Lazy journalism rewrites music history all the time. Punk is made out to have changed everything when it didn't sell very well and Prog Rock vastly more popular at the time.

You are very very wrong.

Yeah, it would've been more complicated to do back in the early 90s as well. It really makes you appreciate the work he puts into the tunes though!

About what? The importance of punk or the complete lack of innovation by Nirvana?

Well, both to be honest.

Nevermind is a huge record. Easily one of the best released in the last 50 years of recorded music. It's iconic.

In Utero is arguably the better work but Nevermind was a cultural zeitgeist of the 90s and a damn good sounding one too.

Outlaw Pete · 26-02-2020 12:04AM

Queen's and Bowie's Under Pressure is a total rip off of Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby.

Rufeo · 26-02-2020 12:38AM

I was listening to a track by Heldens and he literally exactly sampled one of Kerri Chandler's records.

Saying Nevermind was hugely successful doesn't say anything about whether it was innovative or not. Reality is it was nothing new unlike other celebrated albums. I don't like Hotel Calafornia but I still understand the importance and innovation involved. Very repetitive album.

Punk really was nowhere near as important as claimed. It was really two different movements with UK punk and US punk really not being the same thing. It was quite short lived and the biggest change it made was really people saw the importance of being able to play your instruments. Heavey Metal has had a longer and bigger impact. I like punk but if you actually were around you would know it was not the way it is described now. You would see bands were not that influenced by punk directly and primarily took from the same sources not punk itself.
