Well...you may disagree on some. Listen to the songs and you will see what parts of the songs I mean. Anyway, here`s my list:

Talk Talk:John Cope - Dandy Warhols:Muhammad

Primal Scream:Loaded - Beta Band:Dry the Rain

Stranglers:No More Heroes - Elastica:Waking Up

Teardrop Explodes:Sleeping Gas - Blur:Colin Zeal( One song on the "modern life..." album is called "pressure on julian" and another "coping". =Julian Cope?)

Paul McCartney:Waterfalls - TLC:Waterfalls( alike in a fucked-uped way!)

The Cure:Inbetween days - Boo radleys:Barney and me

The Dukes of Stratosphear:Vanishing Girl - The Tokens:The Lion sleeps tonight( Used to like this the Dukes song before this dawned on me! :-)


Ok, thats enough for now. Im sure you know some too. Any suggestions?

How about

The Beatles:Tax Man <--> The Jam:Start

"Inner Meet Me" from the Beta Band sounds very Primal Scream as well. It's a Scot eat Scot world, eh? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
