What song/composition sounds like another artist?


Last week I heard "On the Dark Side" from the soundtrack Eddie and the Cruisers(John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band). I was amazed how similar(even subtle nuances)when compared to Bruce Springsteen and the E Steet Band. I'm curious how many other songs/compositions Audiogon members can come up with.

I think it is probably inevitable... For example Red Hot Chilli Peppers "Dani California" sure sounds like they copied Tom Petty "Last Dance With Mary Jane"

I notice similarities all the time, I think it is almost impossible to be completely creative as everyone influences everyone else.

Another example is Cold Sweat (James Brown) which takes a riff from Miles Davis Kind of Blue

It is very very hard to be entirely original. As a drummer I can confirm that nearly every groove has already been invented!
