Songs that sound oddly like a U2 song...

[theu2fly]

Keane - Is It Any Wonder sounds like Zoo Station

Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon sounds like I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Savage Garden's Crash And Burn sounds a lot like Bad...

You're kidding right?!

Clocks by coldplay reminds me of The unforgettable fire. Both awesome songs!

 

[FitzChivalry]

I've always thought that The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" was reminiscent of "Bad".

(However, speaking of "Little Fluffy Clouds", it is a GREAT song in its own right!)

 

[Axver]

$10 says this thread is going to turn into a Coldplay discussion/mocking session.

 

[shaun vox]

all coldplay song's, ALL COLDPLAY SONG = u2
achtung baby,zooropa,pop, are the only albums that separate u2 from coldplay!!!
ps some one give Axver 10$

Keane - Is It Any Wonder sounds like Zoo Station

It's mostly just the intro but yeah every time I listen to it I think Zoo Station. I like the new Keane album. The first tiem my brother heard Is it Any Wonder he said and I quote 'Holy crap! Total U2 ripoff!"

Keane - Is It Any Wonder sounds like Zoo Station

If today is pick a song that sounds totally diffrent to Zoo Station and Pretend that it does sound Like Zoo Station Day...

Then Yes!

 

[shaun vox]

Keane - Is It Any Wonder

NEXT!!

 

[Axver]

Best post you've ever made.

The rhythm section in Creep reminded me of U2 the first time I listened to it. But it sounds more like it's influenced by U2, which is good, rather that ripping off U2, which is bad. Besides, Creep is far too "I'm so miserable I wish I were dead"ish to be a U2 song.

 

[Aygo]

Yeah, Keane's Is It Any Wonder is a Zoo Station remake.
Same drum track (even more noticeable with live Zoo Station), very identical "guitar" riffs almost copy-paste, only the bassline seems to differ sometimes, and the song is quite shorter.

I tend to agree with you!! One reason why I hate Coldplay, is that they always(!!) try to copy u2-songs, they don't have any original idea to create in their music!! ! My other reason for hating Coldplay is that I can't stand Martin's voice!

I think War album and the Joshua Tree album also UNIQUE for U2, and seperate them from Coldplay.

I dont know, Maybe its just me , but I dont get it!.....

I thought the same thing when I first heard it, sounds like Zoo station.

 

[bono_man2002]

There must be something wrong with my ears and my brain then....all but confirms it then

 

[Aygo]

I'm not saying that Keane copy-pasting "Zoo Station" is bad, I think that their song is very listenable and catchy.
And U2 have made the same too. Look at WOWY and his similarities with Bowie's "Heroes" in the drums/percursion and the synths it almost match.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Running to Stand Still is Heroin without the good bits.
Then again you could argue the majority of rock and roll sounds 'like' the Velvet Underground, so meh.

 

[dietcokeofevil]

We U2 fans are such nerds.

We're the rock and roll version of trekkies.

(Where's my Spock ears?)

I guess you missed the thread a while ago where I mixed both songs together in about 5 minutes and posted it.

Still wish I had the file.

 

[Jeannieco]

I live on the west coast and there is a Comcast commerical out there on TV lately that has background music for a few seconds that sounds exactly like the melody to Zoo Station during intro part when Bono sings the "ewwww ohhhhhs...." .

 

[LMP]

Is It Any Wonder?'s beginning piano bit sounds alot like Even Better Than the Real Thing as well.

Anything with a delay sounds like a U2 song, it's common fact.

The Edge invented that effect out of metal and brawn, next to Chris Martin inventing the piano.

 

[GibsonGirl]

It would be more fun to find bands that U2 sound like, rather than the other way around.

 

[LMP]

But no music was made before 1980.

 

[GibsonGirl]

This is true.

 

[david]

crash and burn is the worst song in the history of songs ever made.

One day... In the future... When we have all moved on to a different planet... theu2fly is going to make a thread where he hasnt got a single fact wrong, hasnt tried to make up a stupid rumour or will come to a logical conclusion.

Unforunately I'll probably be dead and gone when that day comes

 

[GibsonGirl]

crash and burn is the worst song in the history of songs ever made.

Quite possibly. Adult contemporary rock.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Burninated!

 

[tpsglick2424]

I think Rock and Roll all night from KISS kinda sounds like Desire..

 

[GibsonGirl]

Burninated!

Oh, Trogdor!

Um...I don't hear any similarities between that KISS song and Desire, but maybe that's just me.
