I highly doubt Florence listens to the Sisters though.

R: You're so colorful!

F: I wear a lot of black. Secret goth.

you're right, a secret goth. therefore according to Von highly unlikely

It's a quite small thing, but an elaborated version of the minor chord major seventh riff from Confide In Me also snaked its way into War On Drugs around the time they were playing the Kylie cover.

Can't help but think Pixies' Gouge Away borrows quite a bit from Lucretia, My Reflection

Never noticed that. Not just the bass but the way the guitars come in. No wonder I love Gouge Away so much!

That "shotgun" snare sound too.

Unless I've somehow missed it in the previous pages Some Kind of Stranger is clearly a rip off of New Dawn Fades.

and Body Electric was always a ringer for Zerox

Very much agree

Yes, good call, as is the Ants one, which I'd never spotted before (but is obvious now that you mention it).

yeah, the bassline and the chorus riffing are definitely inspired by it (although quite different in the end, SKOS ends stepwise on V for one). also the guitar part in the verse sounds a lot like that from ziggy stardust

i guess i was wrong to finger millennium as the source for arms earlier, since a similar static chugging riff appeared in tons of songs before that...

Never noticed that before - although they both owe a debt to Scooby Doo.

it's not 1:1 but obv inspired by temple, walking with strangers by the birthday massacre:

Not sure if this has been mentioned before...
Siouxsie & the Banshees "Red light"


We Are The Same, Siouxsie?

I've always thought U2 "New Year's Day".

Just listening to Thin Lizzy & the bass riff at the start of Killer On The Loose is very similar to that in Doctor Jeep

Ok ,I really like this and have preordered, but billed as between FALAA and God's Own Medicine, nah!

Dominion
Even the chorus sounds reminicent of something but probably not Sisters related.

I would enjoy a new sisters record sounding like the mischon

The way she bellows I doubt she can listen to anything.

Never understood why anyone would voluntarily listen to what I lovingly call "Florence IN The Machine"...

IZ.

Hmm. I dunno much about her/them, but why do you lot hate her so much?

kind of Marian-ish.....almost like a remix....

Not that I think it is a case of riff stealing, rather coincidence, but I'm currently spooked at how similar the first 4 notes of The Church's "An Interlude" sound similar to the first 4 notes of Blood Money.

Well, they are the same 4 notes, but the whole sound is VERY similar…

It's true that the resemblance is shocking, they're not just the same 4 notes, but the same 4 notes played the same way! It's not as if there was on one hand these 4 notes played quickly on an electric guitar and on the other and, the same ones played quietly on a bassoon...

And so THAT's why Gouge Away felt so familiar!

But to be honest, I'm starting to think that so much music has been written that it's hard to write something that doesn't sound, even just a little, like anything else.
