Attack of the Cloooones

The Bravery is very much dirtier version of The Killers. Not a bad thing at all, really.

And the lead singer thinks he's Morrissey. Fronting New Order, no less.

I'm thinking you didn't mean that as a compliment, but now I really want to hear The Bravery. Sounds like my cup o'tea. I enjoy The Killers, and New Order kicked ten kinds of ass.

Actually, I did, in a way. The Bravery have been compared to New Order - my second favorite band. And the lead singer does look like Morrissey - so it totally tickled me. (Morrissey and Johnny Marr hating each other now, and Bernard Sumner doing Electronic with Marr - hee hee.)

I always thought that Hella Good by No Doubt sounded a lot like Billy Jean in the beginning. Seriously, tell me I am not the only one.

You're not the only one - it's in the drums.

And I finally heard a She Wants Revenge song yesterday, and you guys weren't kidding! I totally thought I was hearing Joy Division.

I think SWR is more danceable than Interpol- with a bit of a warmer and sexier sound, but yeah, if I didn't know any better I'd think it was the next Interpol album. I got into Interpol only because they sound like Joy Division.

When The Killers first came out with 'Somebody Told Me" I thought they were emulating the Psychedelic Furs.

Also Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out reminds me of a Phil Collins song that I do not know the title of. I think at the end of the chorus, he says something that sounds like " your favorite song!"

Franz totally rips off the Stones' "Miss You" on their song "I'm Your Villian."

[Mikal]

Oasis rips off (Oasis? ripping off? never!) Paint It Black as well as Proud Mary (the Ike/Tina version) in "The Meaning Of Soul."

[underjoyed]

Don't forget all of the Beatles (and John Lennon) songs - oh hell, their entire sound - that Oasis ripped off, thanks to the Liam's obsession. Everytime I hear the opening shords of "Don't Look Back in Anger" I think it's Lennon's "Imagine". It's so blatant.

I always hated Oasis. Even when I've liked some of their songs, I've still hated Oasis.
