Every kinks song reminds me of what the beatles should have sounded like had they not been the most overrated and boring band ever.

with the possible exception of the doors being the most overrated and boring band ever. doors songs remind me of taking a crap.

Flaming Lips - Talkin' 'Bout The Smiling Deathporn Immortality Blues (Everyone Wants To Live Forever) / Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia

If only for the riff alone. Wayne is a SY fan so he should know better :D

There is a heavy influence of Spacemen 3's sound in Deerhunter's Cryptograms. You can hear some similarities in Spacemen 3's Come Down Softly To My Soul and Deerhunter's Octet.

The opening guitar part of Beat Happenings "I Spy" reminds me of the opening of the Sex Pistol's "Pretty Vacant".

Also the opening riff of the Wiper's "What Is" sounds exactly like that in "Telepathic Love". When I heard "What Is" for the first time I thought it was a redo of "Telepathic Love".

If not:
The riff is exactly the same as one of the parts in Schizophrenia. Listen at 2:50. That bit!

Ok, now I hear it :D I was looking for the main riff of Schizophrenia, not the middle part.

ZEROpumpkins 01.27.2008 06:52 PM

Yeah I thought you might have been.

Beck's Already Dead starts very much like Blind Melon's No Rain.

The Cure - Boys don't cry / Madonna - Ray of light

laserbeard 03.23.2008 04:44 PM

that first crappy Franz Ferdinand single had a serious LedZep Trampled Under Foot thing going on.

Car by Built to Spill sounds a lot like Forever Young.

Anyone else ever notice that aside from overall mood and agression, Stereo Sanctity is kind of similar to Schizophrenia..?

atsonicpark 03.26.2008 02:08 PM

I LOVE "CAR" by built to spill!!

viewtiful_alan 03.26.2008 03:54 PM

Loser by Beck is very similar in structure to The Butthole Surfers' Pepper

I don't hear the similarity (apart from the fact there's harmonics and tremolo picking in both songs, but you hear that in many SY songs so...).

Torn Curtain 03.27.2008 06:45 AM

Maybe if Schizophrenia was sped up the songs would sound similar, that may be what you mean.
