Strangely similar songs

^ I hear what you mean by the 'compilations of different bands.......' as the records I have and have heard in the past really mix it up from track to track. Down to different drum sounds, bass tones, vocalist etc. Almost like each song was produced differently, though on the same album, and without a conscious 'flow' or relation to the songwriting. Clever and eclectic if you ask me.

^ ......yeah, and ??

......you must follow on from the previous......like - 'blah blah blah......'
And then the 'yeah, and ?' ..........but if you don't get it, doesn't matter. You should know how skewed my mind operates.........

So.......btw, my ramblings here are often incoherent, due to whatever it is that influences my ideals........so, get a professor Freud to analyse my nerdy responses......

Ha! I did eventually hear it on that `Rumours' album years later, and although I cringed, it wasn't like a gnashing of the teeth, foaming at the mouth affair...much to my disappointment, really!

Triumvirat’s The History of Mystery has two passages that had to have been inspired, intentionally or not, by earlier songs:

 

1.  The opening section sounds a lot like Apache by the Shadows (or by “Jorgen Ingemann and His Guitar” in the U.S.)

 

2. The tune that opens and closes the next section sounds like a variation on a theme from ELP’s Karn Evil 9 1st Impression (the one with the guitar solo).

Its subtle, but Dire Straits Down to the Waterline and Pink Floyds Comfortably Numb use the same scale and even repeat the same notes in certain parts of each song. Not to call foul play, of course, the scale is used in a lot of songs, but these tracks can become glaringly similar once the listener becomes aware of this.

Green River by CCR and Long Cool Woman(In a Black Dress) by The Hollies are similar in vocal style and in melody
