NancyJohnson Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Sitting listening to the BBC's Stereo Underground. 'No Time to be 21' by The Adverts comes on. Wife goes, 'Is this Weezer?'. Inside I'm laughing, but at the same time I'm thinking, feck, Weezer sound just like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Is this the generic "sounds just like ..." as in that it might be about sound in the strict sense but also about chord progressions, melody lines and the rest? In that case, J-pop band Kanjani 8 have several songs that, whilst sounding nothing like Yes, do have compositional elements that make me go: no way they'd have done that without having listened to Yes. J-pop. I kid you not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 James Taylor and the James Taylor Quartet. They sound exactly the same. Apart from the extra word 'quartet', of course. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Not a band but a whole genre. American Punk Pop that those into it think is super cool, sounds just like it could be the latest Busted release, which those into American Punk Pop would hate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Ween sounds like a lot of bands (yet at the same time just like only they can sound), here respectively Motörhead and Pink Floyd : Motörhead : Pink Floyd : I am also pretty sure they sound like some specific Country artist here, but not being very well versed in the Country genre I couldn't pinpoint exactly who: Edited December 17, 2023 by Baloney Balderdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking Spiders Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 All those US bands that came after grunge died which MTV used to show on rotation. All identikit clones Quite a few of them had 'three' or 'third' in their names All total ballcocks of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought they sounded particularly like any one band. Certainly not the Beatles. To me Oasis sound like a load of Slade b-sides mixed up with some generic early-70s glam rock and stirred until a thick browny-grey porridge.

Delberthot Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I was on the way to a gig with our guitarist and he put this on. I didn't recognise it so I asked if it was John Meyer. His reply was "John Meyer wishes he was this good". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
