Shona Laing "Glad I'm not a Kennendy" (1990), thought it was a new "Propaganda" release the first time I heard it.

I remember back in the early '80s at clubs I'd hear the song "Love Spy" and I could have sworn it was another song from Trans-X (turns out it was someone named Mike Mareen).

I thought Ken Heaven's "The Calling" was Bronski Beat

and

I thought "Pi

i, too, think camouflage's "the great commandment" sounds like dmode...and for some reason, i always mistake crowded house's "don't dream it's over" for a tears for fears song...

and any rancid song sounds like social distortion...

i know there's mo

I ashamed to admit that the first time I heard Elvis Costello's version of the Nick Lowe/Brinsley Schwarz gem "What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding ?" on the radio I thought it was Bruce Springsteen.

Blur's "Steroetypes" is a lot like XTC's "Respectable Street".

Blur were a lot like XTC in the 1993-1996 periode...

Travis sounds a lot like shit.

Posted: **Mon Nov 03, 2003 10:58 pm**

Blur keeps coming up for me on this list. There's definately some XTC-like stuff - "Country House" is another example. But then songs like "Pop Scene", "Sunday Sunday" and "Parklife" could easily be from a Jam reunion band. And did they spend a drunken we

I always think Elektric Music's "Kissing The Machine" is an OMD song, but it is not. Great song though -- it's on my mp3 player that I run to.

I always thought that song "Never Met a girl like you before" was Bowie-ish

I believe you mean the song "Never Known a Girl Like You Before" by Edwin Collins, fron the 1994 cd Gorgeous George

speaking of David Bowie, i always thought that the Boomtown Rats' "Up All Night" sounded like David Bowie.

also, i always thought that China Crisis' "Arizona Sky" sounded like Icehouse.
