Why do I feel that Floyd's Learning To Fly sounds similar to Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. ??
I swear you can fit the lyrics and chord progression and tempo...... with each other

I definitely hear it 
Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

I keep singing "The Back of Love" by Echo and The Bunnymen to Culture Club's "Church of The Poison Mind" ..I'm probably wrong but they seem to have the same melodic structure but completely different in genre....one is a dirge the other is an upbeat tune......I am probably wrong!

There is great similarity in The refrains in Darkness by Peter Gabriel (Up) and The Irrelevant Love Song by T (Psychoanorexia).

That start of that song that goes " I'm having the time of my life, and I've never felt that way before " (Panzerballett do a neat cover of it !!) and the intro to Floyd's Keep Talking.

Hawkwind's Hall Of The Mountain Grill (1974) and the beginning of Stories' Earthbound / Freefall (1973).

For some strange reason I was thinking today about how the James Gang's "funk 49" sounds a lot like Footloose by Kenny Loggins(yes the song from the movie Footloose). I'm referring to the guitar riff of Funk 49 mostly. Of course the lyrics are different. Tongue

Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so either. :)

Also, I don't remember what it was but some obscure south american prog band put out a song where part of the section sounded exactly like a Joe Walsh song but theirs was released first. A really strange coincidence because I seriously doubt that Joe traveled to south America heard this band in some bar and said "Hmmm, I like that. Nobody will know the difference." :D
