Bands with songs that sound like other bands

[God Stewart]

Everyone probably knows these two already. Modest Mouse's Blame It On the Tetons sounds a lot like Sonic Youth's Unwind.

Also the Billy Childish song Joe Strummers Grave uses the exact same riff as The Exploders' song My Country Brain— though I suppose they can both be considered parallel rip-offs of the Kinks.

I think this song is great, and doesn't count.  It sounds JUST like a great Brian Wilson song, but does sound like any particular song.

I agree. For a brief moment -- just when the pounding piano starts -- I expected him to sing "Well, it's been building up inside of me for oh, I don't know how long" from "Don't Worry Baby", but before that impression can gain any traction, he descends the bass and makes the song his own.  It's another great "Jesus Christ" song, right up there with Big Star's version.

If I am hearing the lyrics correctly, and he is, in fact, singing "the clouds are nice, I tore them on my mind" then he wins.  But then again, I've always thought Robert Plant sang "One more, u-oo-nique LOVE!" in Whole Lotta Love.

The piano part on Wilcos song "On and On" off Sky Blue Sky is a note for note ripp off of an old psychedelic song from the 60's. I just wish I could remember which one it was.

Nothing? This has been killing me since that album came out.

Are you thinking of Procol Harum's "A Salty Dog" maybe? Sounds a little like Steely Dan's "Through With Buzz" to me, too.

There is a show on XM called The Blacklight Room they play it on there every once and awhile.

I finally figured it out listen to Wilcos On and On and Spirits Space Child next to each other.
