“It’s hard to say how The Beatles would have evolved,” Lynne told The Guardian in 2014. He was Lennon and McCartney in one package. But as Lynne took over the reigns as ELO’s chief songwriter, producer, and sonic architect, it became clear that he operated best without a co-writer.

Despite operating at opposite ends of the rock spectrum – Lynne the studious craftsman, Wood the cello-bashing oddball – the duo clearly couldn’t align their talents to a Lennon/McCartney level, and Wood left the band after only recording one full LP: their self-titled debut, which cracked the UK Top 40 but flew totally under the radar in America. Their actual trajectory was slightly different.
Starships by Nicki Minaj (2012) also sounds kind of like Fate, Tik Tok, Love at First Sight (2002), etc.When Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood formed Electric Light Orchestra in 1970, their goal was to carry the torch of the recently disbanded Beatles, expanding that band’s psychedelic blueprint for “I Am The Walrus” with a classical-rock scope. For more Kylie similarities: No More Rain by Kylie Minogue (2007) sounds like the verse of Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again by The Angels (1976) and Cosmic (2007) sounds like Sunday Morning by Maroon 5 (2002). Sia’s new song Chandelier also sounds like 21 Guns, etc. I’ll include a link for another web page as well. BTW, this is where I got that about Drops of Jupiter sounding like Drift Away, but I didn’t put the others together until I heard Cliché Love Song on a Eurovision album on iTunes. It unfortunately tends to exaggerate and state similarities too matter-of-factly, but there are some valid similarities, some of which you already have, but not all of them.
For another Green Day similarity, the pre-chorus or whatever of Nice Guys Finish Last (1997), which has a bit of swearing in it, sounds like that of Save the Last Dance for Me by The Drifters (1960) and maybe also Under the Boardwalk, because those two Drifters’ songs sound similar.įor more Kylie similarities: The verse of Turn It Into Love by Kylie (1988) also sounds like Hello by Lionel Ritchie (1984) and the chorus reminds me a little of Love Never Felt So Good, the lead single from Michael Jackson’s new album, as does So Now Goodbye (2000), which also sounds like September by Earth, Wind and Fire Better the Devil You Know (1990), which I think was from the Stock, Aitken & Waterman years, sounds kind of like Never Knew Love Like This Before by Stephanie Mills (1980), written by James Mtume and Reggie Lucas, which always sounds to me like it’s going to go into Rock with You by Michael Jackson (1979) and Can’t Get You Out of My Head (2002) sounds kind of like Sunglasses at Night (1987).Ī website states that She’s a Rebel by Green Day (2004) sounds like Boxcar by Jawbreaker (1994).
I have read in the court case against Men at Work that there was an arrangement concerning royalties about Green Day’s 21 Guns sounding like All the Young Dudes, but what did they do? Write 21 Guns while not being able to get Telephone Line (or More Than a Feeling) out of their minds?Īnd Light Years by Kylie (2000). Telephone Line and 21 Guns are more similar, share the pattern: 3451, as does Route 209 (Midday) from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but Telephone Line and 21 Guns both have the next line share the ending note and while that doesn’t sound like much, a lecturer at Tafe taught us that when playing the melody of Autumn Leaves, you can play anything you like as long as the lines end on the right notes and people will be able to recognise it, and you can, which tells us there’s a fine line between a variation on a melody and a new melody. The nah nah nah nah nah nah nah part is outlining a 9th arpeggio (omit 7) and trilling with the note below, in scale degree numbers: 1359898 etc, while All the Young Dudes goes: 1235 12365 1235 42b721.
