Anyone got any good ones? The Killers = Duran Duran The Editors = Joy Division Franz Ferdinand = Talking Heads (heard this one on the radio, not my idea) The Tuss = Aphex Twin lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate all of those bands (the exception being the tuss, as he somehow manages to be the greatest band ever despite being a single person), but i don't agree with any of that at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can forsee a LOT of posts along the same lines. |
||||||||
|

|
all bands borrow from someone... no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The riff from Walk Away is blatently from The Model. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I wouldn't say this is borrowing but their styles. The singer from the Editors (which may I say is from the tiny town I live in) is 90% Ian Curtis. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you want to hear borrowing then listen to any super furry animals album. all of their songs can be sourced back to something else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I need to get into them. Listening to the Editors album now, and I'm sorry, but if you can't hear that they're a LOT like Joy Divsion then you must be deaf. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think what annoys people the most is when an artist or band "borrows" material and doesn't bother to reference the source in any way and then the fans of this new band are like "yeah, it's THEIR song" and when you tell them that it's originally someone else's they're like "no it's not!" fucking annoying |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The whole Coldplay situation comes to mind. I've had so many arguments over that. Argh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can you give some good examples? This and that SFA-track sounds like this and that other track? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we'll just call them cover bands from now on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pop in a random super furry animals album and then pick a random song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. Nice try |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Check out Guerilla. My fav SFA-album. Sounds pretty fucking genuine to me, but if you know something that sounds like that, then give me a tip :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, what? off the top of my head rings around the world=beach boys, show me magic=sped-up blue monday. haven't you felt like you've heard golden retriever or out of control before? if not then you're the perfect fan for the super furry animals, since you haven't heard anything before 1990. i'm a fan of them as well, by the way. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

|
|
here's a write-up on allmusic: Super Furry Animals were one of the first post-alternative bands, fusing together a number of disparate musical genres — including power pop, punk rock, techno, and progressive rock — creating a shimmering, melodic, irreverent, and willfully artsy rock & roll. all you have to do is read between the lines. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i guess you were taking what i said as an attack on Your Band. can you really not hear any heavy influences when listening to the sfa? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, all the Left-Hand groups (except for The Tuss (for now)), are Awfuls. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know, the tuss gives off a bit of a black sabbath vibe in spots. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can hear influences when listening to every cd in my shelves, but I can't really say that SFA fits in a thread about new bands that are duplicated of old bands. Maybe I should check out my Joy Division or Beach Boys cds again, and compare? Maybe not. Can't really say that SFA is MY band, but I really enjoy their first couple of albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably because of all the acid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they went downhill when they tried to be Serious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SFA are obviously influenced by the byrds and the beach boys and some proggy stuff and whatnot but they’re hardly a replica of another band. Everything after mwng has been a bit shit though if you ask me, I’ve stopped really paying attention to them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Franz Ferdinand doesn't sound like a Talking Heads clone at all, they do however sound heavily influenced by Josef K. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first arcade fire album reminded me of the talking heads a lot more than anything smelly smelldinand has done. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
while not necessarily consistently owing to any one artist, the vast majority of rock bands that are popular today are brutally unoriginal and derivative. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and not because there is nothing left to be expressed either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I probably agree with Optimus on that one, but one FF song (think it might be the end of Darts Of Pleasure) is very much like Road To Nowhere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry, I now agree after getting into Gang Of Four that a LOT of the FF stuff is borrowed from them Franz Ferdinand = Gang Of Four Perhaps this: !!! = Talking Heads (funky Remain In Light era) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shine by take that may aswell have been an ELO comeback |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
[assumes pose] music today is rubbish. it was much better when i was a lad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maximo Park = Shed Seven |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can someone explain who "The Tuss" is comprised of? So it's just RDJ now? The last iteration of this mystical tale that I heard involved Brian Trageskin, Karen Trageskin, RDJ, Santa Clause, Mary Poppins, Mike P., and Jake "the Snake" Roberts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed, that is terribly fucking irking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
karen and I are the tuss |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If that is true, with you being a member of this community, how come there are still people here who think RDJ had something to do with the tuss? You should hire people to patrol this forum and enforce the truth! It just so happens my services are currently available for the low hourly rate of $150. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
very reasonable! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are other bands besides the editors that blatantly rip off joy division, like interpol or she wants revenge. i think franz ferd sounds more like the strokes whose vocalist tries to sound like lou reed. when i first heard coldplay on the radio (song: yellow) i thought it was dave matthews singing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nirvana = The Beatles (I know nirvana aren't new but it just had to be said, can't believe it wasn't mentioned already) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Interpol are also very very much like JD. Surely Oasis = (a crap version of) Beatles The Tuss = RDJ working under different names. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ohhhh man ... They all want to be bands that wanted to be other bands ... I really think we should all collectively create a one hierarchy chart. Bands off the top of my head that are black listed are interpol they suck suck suck. For those Canadians out there, they sound like one of our crappy bands called TRAGICALLY HIP. The singers are identical, except for the interpol singer thinks he is Ian Curtis, but probably never hear any Joy Division outside of what was on the Movie soundtrack he bought that had love will tear us apart or whatever else ... Let's open a Google spread sheet and collectively make a list, I'll pay to publish it meng. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Franz Ferdinand = Gang Of Four" Agreed ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bungle -> Zappa Zappa -> Beef heart |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so many bands want to sound like joy division it is not a bad thing white stripes last album = led zeppelin |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Long Range = Orbital |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have a good one animal collective totally was tyrannosaurus rex 40 years ago. just listen to the track Salamanda Palaganda. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
asking what bands are original would be easier, yes. |
