TS: Radiohead "Creep" vs. The Hollies "The Air That I Breathe"

Almost the same song.

they really aren't.

Yeah, not quite. I mean, there's a Hollies crib somewhere in "Creep," but it ain't "The Air That I Breathe" (fine song tho' it is).

Listen to the opening verses again, folks.

The first three chords are the same or very similar, I'll give you that. Every other part of the song, the instrumentation, vocals, playing style, and lyrics are completely different.

lol nabisco has it right. radiohead is anything but overrated.

c'mon, you're splitting hairs...

How can you possibly expect me to pick one? I mean, they're exactly the same song. Curiously, I also hold both groups in equivalent esteem - not very high, not very low. I mean, their songs, for me, are easier to admire than to love. Equally annoying and intriguing. Bother. I'm voting for "The Air That I Breathe."

We're gonna need a focus group

Can I suggest thread:

TS: Radiohead "Reckoner" vs. Sebatien Tellier "La Ritournelle"

Same first three chords, and maybe a similar drum beat. Nothing much in common otherwise.

supposedly thom had Scott Walker in mind while writing "Creep"

either way I think it is all derivative of Joe Satriani

lol nabisco has it right.

good work the Enlightenment, we finally have confirmation of our first rational universal truth.
