L.A. Woman-Doors and Death Trip-Iggy & The Stooges

Noir Désir - Fin de siècle / The Doors - Peace frog
Echo & The Bunnymen - A promise / Bowie - The man who sold the world

haha... good thread!

radiohead - '4 minute warning'
Blur - 'Tender' and
Nick cave and the bad seeds - 'Death is not the end'

they sound quite similar... maybe it's just because of the A-E chord change thing methinks :P

The Verlaines - Slow Sad Love Song/The Sound - Total Recall (the start of the verses)
The Cure - Plainsong/Synthesizer music used in the Doctor Who episode "Remembrance of the Daleks"

minutemen - this ain't no picnic

The guitar in it (and in a lot of minutemen songs of course but specifically this song; the tone, the production, the notes being played, and of course the way it's played.. ) really reminds me of dirty blue gene by captain beefheart.

If anyone knows of the name for that kind of strumming pattern (kind of a loose and folky tremolo picking on all strings with the strings barely being fretted and then being fretted really quickly), let me know.

Felt - Penelope Tree/Tom Verlaine
No specific Verlaine song, Lawrence just sounds so much like him on this song.

Depeche Mode - Clean / Pink Floyd - One of these days
Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Living in paradise / Television - Prove it

well, they don't sound alike but, they kinda sound right togheter in a mix:

radiohead - up on the ladder
interpol - hands away

Whenever I hear the intro of "Cigarettes and Alcohol" by Oasis I think of "Get it on" by T-Rex

ha yeah
let's get it on.

sy dirty boots and u2 vertigo

SY 'Cross the Breeze and Blonde Redhead's Futurism Vs Passeism

The guitar riff near the middle (starting at 2:50 and going for about 8 or so seconds) of "The Pod" by Hum has always sounded too much like the opening riff to "Siva" by Smashing Pumpkins. It annoys me.

.................................

Hmm, too many to mention, too many mentioned already...

Skinny Puppy-"Dig It"/Nine Inch Nails-"Down In It" (I think I read somewhere this was intentional)
Bauhaus-"Bela Lugosi's Dead"/She Wants Revenge-"Red Flags and Long Nights"
Wire-"Mr. Suit"/Ministry-"Thieves"
Siouxsie and the Banshees-"Spellbound"/The Cure-"A Short Term Effect"
Anything by the Cult/Anything by the Cult
Smashing Pumpkins-"1979"/Sonic Youth-"Jams Run Free"
Queens of the Stone Age-"Autopliot"/Chris Cornell-"You Know My Name" (theme from Casino Royale)
Alice In Chains-"We Die Young"/Dust For Life-"Step Into the Light"
Green Day-"Walking Contradiction"/Green Day-"American Idiot"
Shocking Blue (or Nirvana)-"Love Buzz"/Theme from Grindhouse

Wow, Jams Run Free does have a very similar riff to 1979, never noticed before.

liars "freak out" - anything JAMC did..

and a little joke for the metalheads out there..
"mechanix" by megadeth + "the four horsemen" by metallica...


.

green day-american idiot-dillinger four-doublewhiskycokeblahblah. the riff is a total rip off.

Thought of a few more...

The intro to Metallica's "King Nothing"/The intro to Stone Temple Pilots' "Vasoline" (yea, I know both songs suck)
The outro to Zero 7's "Destiny"/TV on the Radio-"Dirtywhirl"
Sex Pistols-"Holidays in the Sun"/The Jam-"In The City"

black flag's "slip it in", the bass and drums remind me of "song for the dead" by qotsa..
