What song/composition sounds like another artist?


Last week I heard "On the Dark Side" from the soundtrack Eddie and the Cruisers(John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band). I was amazed how similar(even subtle nuances)when compared to Bruce Springsteen and the E Steet Band. I'm curious how many other songs/compositions Audiogon members can come up with.

Funny you should mention "On the Dark Side." The first time I heard "Keep the Car Running" by the wildly overrated and terribly annoying Arcade Fire, I was astonished by how much that song was a ripoff of a ripoff. It sounds *exactly* like "on the Dark Side," which sounds like the poor man's Springsteen. It's a copy of a copy, an imitation of an imitation, a tracing of a forgery. It's an embarrassment.
It's more like "on the Dark Side" than "My Sweet Lord" is like "He's So Fine."
That's the end of my ranting for now.
Thanks for listening.

Brian,
Speaking of illiteracy, here's a link for you:

When someone ends his hyperbolic screed by excusing himself for his self-described "rant," you may wish to wonder if the writer might have been intentionally overblown. It's called poetic license. You, obviously, are not in the possession of one. Nor of the ability to discern authorial intent.
No offense intended, of course.
