Hi Chaps,
I heard this on the way home and couldn't believe how bonkers similar these songs are:
Anyone else heard Paul Heaton's 2014 'Moulding of a Fool'? It sounds ALOT like Ocean Colour Scene's 'Up on the Downside' from 1996.....
Cheers

Apart from having a different drum score, different chord progressions, different guitars solos and a different vocal score they're... .
I suppose they're roughly the same type of music.
Excellent. Check out this though to make it 10 songs that sound very similar indeed:

Although the Cash song is a cover of someones elses song so it wasnt him
It strikes me that Santriani's song is a closer copy of some of the earlier songs. The Coldplay one is not an obvious copy. What was the outcome of the law suit?
My son writes songs, I join in sometimes. It's not just the succession of notes that counts, it's the feel given when playing: strumming/picking pattern, guitar tone, rhythm. If you only consider the notes then you can often find something in classical, folk, jazz, blues etc. to show that the chord/note progression is already in the public domain.
Tears dry on their own is Marvin gaye ain't no mountain high enough, verse chorus and middle 8 utterly blatant
You think that's bad, Dave Grohl admitted his, and went ahead with it anyway.
There is a guitar solo on "from time to time" which i have heard note for note the same on the Mondays live album, and something from the 60's/early 70's, of which i have embarrasingly forgotten both the title and band...
And there is the sad story of "down under" and the kookaburra song 😥
Nope, but a little part of me died when someone pointed out a similarity between Leftfield's Release The Pressure and The Macarena.
🙁
A Paul Heaton song and a (stifles laughter) Ocean Colour Scene song? Er no, can't say I've heard them...or ever will.

Dean Grey's American Edit mashes up Green Day's American Idiot. Lots of interesting connections there. My favourite:
