Bands that sound a lot like other bands

[citizenyank76]

Creedence sound like every other band at the time (except for John Fogerty's voice of course, which is inimitable.) Sometimes they sound like Ricky Nelson. Sometimes they sound like Booker & The MGs. Sometimes they sound like Ronnie Hawkins & The Band. That's what few people thought about CCR. How perfectly executed they were.
Rockabilly, Swamp Rock, R&B, and Country. They were the perfect American band because they synthesized all those influences. BRB, going to listen to Willy & The Poor Boys.

 

[Saddleworth2]

counting crows and hootie and the blowfish often sound similar to my ear.

Creep by Radiohead is Radiohead trying to sound like Pixies imo.

Nirvana also ripped off the Pixies sound (soft-loud dynamics especially) by their own admission.

 

[SkyBlueTX]

Dead ringer for the Boss.

One of the best, if not the best, American bands. Literally dozens of classics to their name.

These sound so much like The High and One Summer it’s unreal.

I’ve absolutely no idea who The High and One Summer are, but just wanted to say that The Field Mice is one band I never thought I would hear anyone mention!

 

[I'm With Stupid]

This might as well be Paul Simon.

When the killers first came in the scene I thought it was Shed Seven. Still sound similar to me now but that could be my hearing.

 

[buckshot]

This band are probably going to be huge by sounding like the greatest band of all time.

When I saw the thread title this is the first thing I thought of.

This Hollies one sounds a lot like Creedence
