The Soundalikes

Postby djcraig » Thu Jul 19, 2007 3:23 pm

Some bands sound like so much like other bands they often get confused for them. Whether calculated or by accident, seems like whenever an artist gets massive success, out pop the copycats.

When Springsteen got huge, John Cafferty rode the wave with the Boss sound-a-like, "On The Dark Side".

Camoflage was practically a Depeche Mode tribute band.

The Los Angeles Times used to cleverly refer to The Alarm as U 1 & 1/2.

Who is your favorite or most hated copycat?
