HEY NOOBS! Want a band or song recommendation? Don't start a new thread-POST HERE!

While there has not always been a copyright case, there are a number of songs that sound to me as if they have ripped off or been heavily inspired on earlier works (the similarity could also be a coincidence if the artist was lesser known). Below are some examples that I can think of:

*Daft Punk's Get Lucky (2013) sounds a bit like New Order's True Faith (1987/1994)

*The chorus of Ziggy Stardust (1972) has similarities with Stairway to Heaven (1971)

*The last song (forgotten name) on Veruca Salt's new album has a vitually identical melody to the chorus/instrumental of Host by The Crocketts (2000), although this could be coincidental as they were not that well known to an American audience, or most British either (Veruca Salt).

*Your Favorite Thing by Sugar (1994) is a bit like The Cure's Friday I'm In Love (1992)

And of course, basic 4 chord songs will almost always have a similar version on the market, for example, A, E, G, D (think I got that right) has been done many times.

Interesting to mention this, but certain song melodies from certain periods (over 2 years or so) often have similarities, for example those between the second and last example. In those cases, it could be either coincidence, or do certain inspirations take another band to copy another?

What are some other examples of song pairs which you feel sound similar to one another in terms of melody?

Hi,

Could you recommend few rock or metal bands that involve a lot of violin/cello like

Sigur Ros - Brennisteinn

or

Apocalyptica - I Don't Care?


Thanks

I don't listen to that much gothic doom, but I know My Dying Bride uses violin. I just Googled "my dying bride violin", so I don't know if this is the best song to showcase their violin side, but here you go anyway since I'm too lazy to go and dig through their back catalog.



Here's something a little more representative of their "classic" sound..




And here's a band that doesn't use violin except for this one song, but I imagine it might interest you.

My Dying Bride - great one, the other one would also be awesome except i'm not a fan of growling :p

Stratovarius - Forever (lyrics) - love you for this one. And i think i hear violin in some parts, especially in the begining.

Thanks

I'm looking for music with a soothing, loving, ethereal atmosphere and male vocals.

Also, in response to the previous person, Korpiklaani is a folk metal band that uses violins. It also doesn't have growling vocals.

If you youtube the words "Pink Floyd Echoes Instrumental Alternative version"
you can then play my version of Pink Floyd Echoes Which I have been faithfully listening to a lot actually because I think it is rather good! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I am still very new to music banter and this is my way of saying hello! Remember to click the grey square. OK Thanks!

Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you knows a song with a similar music style/rhythms than "Kim Churchill - Window To The Sky", but with lyrics talking about travels, nature or freedom.
I'm not really good at music but according to wikipedia the genre is a mix of Folk, rock and blues.

Thks so much
