I think everyone here have heard Don't Speak by No Doubt, and probably more have heard Breakfast in America by Supertramp, i wonder... is it just me or is their some similaritis in the intros (and maybe some of the song structures from BiA on to Don't Speal.) why I raise this question is becouse both become big hits on their own in different decades, but I can't lett go the thought that, the members of No Doubt have listend to the Pop song by Supertramp and have used bits and pieces from it, not wery obvious but subtle (im not sure Roger is awere of it), i like both songs anyway,
but that don't take away my urge to ask if others can hear the similarities,

| Upon hearing "Don't Speak", and I'd never heard the song, or heard of the band that I recall, Äerosmith's "Dream On" was the first music to spring to mind. |

"Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin exists because of an instrumental called "Taurus" by Spirit. Even the lyrics hint at this.

You may all know that "White Bird" by It's a Beautiful Day has hugely inspired Deep Purple's "Child in Time", or that "Nights in white Satin" from the Moody Blues as well as "The great 1964 Mining Disaster" by the Bee Gees had more than a little impact on BJH's "Poor Man's moody Blues" and "The great 1974 Mining Disaster". What always annoyed me a bit was "What's up" from the 4 Non Blondes reminded me a lot of "Don't worry, be happy" ( Bobby McFerrin ) and I couldn't help thinking of Natalie Imbrulgia's "Torn" when I heard that "Hit" ( don't remember the name ) from James Blunt last year. ------------- ...I'm a musician/singer/songwriter, visit me on www.reverbnation.com/rupertlenz and there you can choose from 125 recordings you can listen to ( for free ) if you're not limited to prog-rock ! |

Triumvirat's "Lucky Girl" was definitely inspired by ELP's "Lucky Man" |

Blowin' Free by Wishbone Ash influenced Reelin' in The Years by Steely Dan???? Many people think so....very, very similar in parts. |

I'm not sure about this, but the main orchestral motif from Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence sounds a lot like something in Yngwie Malmsteen's Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

There's a well-known relation between The Beatles's Sexy Sadie and Radiohead's Karma Police, mainly in the piano part.
Funny how differently we hear things: I listened to that Matthew's Southern Comfort tune from Spotify (previously unknown track to me), and in melody, harmony, rhythm, sound or atmosphere - I find Nothing At All in common with that Gentle Giant song, except that they both belong to pop music. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/osmotapioraihala/sets" rel="nofollow - Composer - Click to listen to my works! |

I know of many though it's sometimes unclear as to source vs. parallel art-- the basslines in 'Taxman' and Floyd's 'Money' are close enough to warrant scrutiny but different enough to pass as original; the bass to Rufus's 'Tell Me Something Good' and the Seinfeld theme are exactly the same just different speeds; Zep's 'Thank You' and Tim Hardin's 'If I Were a Carpenter' are very close, the Tim Hardin coming first of course (and we know Plant is a Hardin fan). |

Gee, what about the Zeps? Tons of people know that they were really ripping off other artists at the time. They really couldn't get away with things like 'Black Mountain Side'
 . Funny enough, Johnny Ramone used a solo from 'Dazed and Confused', but that's another story. |

They were thieves but so was almost every other white blues artist (the Stones? Doors? Who? you better believe it), and I think Zeppelin ended up giving to blues more than taking from it-- and lest we forget, as you suggest, how much they influenced rock and were in turn stolen from. But they didn't make a big fuss about it, about Aerosmith and Heart and Van Halen and the Black Crowes and all the countless smaller bands that can directly trace their sound to Zep. That concludes this Ledhed rant. Thank you. |

And furthermore, I can hear a lot of "Reelin'" in Nick Lowe's hit "So it Goes" Same descending chord progression. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

| According to Terry Ellis (manager of both bands), the idea for the song "Living in the Past" by Jethro Tull came from a line in the song "Scrapbook" by Clouds. |

Return To Forever's 'Spain' was inspired by Miles Davis' 'Concierto De Aranjuez (Adagio)'.

Concierto de Aranjuez is NOT by Miles Davis nor Gil Evans. It's by Joaquin Rodrigo, from 1932. But yeah, you've got your point.

OK let's compare these. The melody of Blowin Free is definitely there in Reelin in The Years but what clinches the comparison is the last 30 -40 secs of Blowin Free (try from 4.30 onwards). Argus was released at least 6 months before Can't Buy a Thrill. So the Steely Dan boys had time to soak in the whole track. I must say however that Blowin Free to me has always been fairly boring while Reelin in the Years is a out and out classic. And that is coming from a Wishbone appreciator with little interest in Steely Dan. Here's Nick Lowe's "So it Goes"...maybe?......but not as similar as the above 2 IMHO. |
