Musical Infuences

[_jr_]

A friend co-worker and I were discussing music today, and the topic got around to ' what band sounds like another band', which led to who's music seeps through in other band's songs?

For instance, there is no doubt in my mind that Chrissy Hynde was a big influence was a big influence on Shania Twain. If you listen to their styles, every once in a while, she'll (Twain) will have a certain vibratto (is that the right word?) or inflection in her song that is strikingly similar to Chrissy Hynde. Maybe it's just me, but when I first heard it, I thought "man, she sounds like somebody else" When I finally made the connection, it all fell into place. I started picking up on more and more similarities.

Anyone else have any comparisons they'd like to share?

By the way, if this has already been covered before, please disregard this post. ::

Actually I'm surprised it's never really been covered. And if it has it never got that much attention 'cuz I sure don't remember one.

Anyway here's my influences(only two for now)

Michael Stipe on Kurt Cobain

John Lennon on Oasis

I think Jim Morrison influenced Ice T. The similiarities in their music is uncanny.

Ok, are being serious?

Iggy Pop and The Stooges>Sonic Youth>Pavement

[scott]

I got another one

Chuck Berry, indirectly or directly influenced every great rock band ever. (by indirectly I mean like if Berry influenced a band, and that band later influenced a band and so on and so forth)

[Aunt_Acid]

Of course not, jrownsdega.

I didn't think you were being serious, but I've never listened to Iced T , I only drink it. So, the possibility was there.

[Aunt_Acid]

Well, as for me, I've never drank a rapper, so I couldn't really relate to you there.

This has been done before but it's been some time and it's not on the first page. ::

There are a lot of inspirations that I gather from music. From Little Richard's whoooo! mimicked by the Beatles to personal observations of such bands like Guns-n-Roses' Sweet Child of Mine to Aerosmith's Sick as a Dog.

One can literally sing the lyric's to Sick as a Dog to Slash's harmonics in Sweet Child of Mine. Think of the simularites in each song's rhythms.

Just an IMO as well as a countless thought.

Most recent inspiration in my mind is the simularity of Jet to AC/DC, at least in the song, Cold Hearted Bitch.

Oh, it's gonna be like that, is it Dave? Must be a slow night in the forums.

[Aunt_Acid]

Alright Muzik, I have been patient with you, I have given you plenty of time to reply, I even put up a post under this topic, and you still refuse to aquest. I am forced to be blunt now. What on Earth is your avatar?

[MuzikTyme]

I shan't reveal everything but your interest is appreciated.

[Aunt_Acid]

Shall you reveal something?

[MuzikTyme]

Sure.

Tell me, what do you think it is?

[Aunt_Acid]

It looks like someone's face that has been photoshopped. It also looks like the mirror guy from the movie Shrek. It kind of looks like the symbol for drama (The laughing face/ The crying face). Or like a modernized version of the logo for the game Taboo. Did I hit the mark? Was I even close?

[cosmosis]

Tell me, what do you think it is?

I think is just an ugly, creepy, freeky face. I hope it's not your photo

[MuzikTyme]

The unknown shouldn't be creepy but human nature fears the unknown.

It is not a photo.

[Aunt_Acid]

It looks computer genrated. Was I right at all? Was I on the right track at least?

[MuzikTyme]

No.

But again, your inquisitiveness is something that should never be lost.

[Aunt_Acid]

Did you make it yourself?

[MuzikTyme]

No.

[Aunt_Acid]

Is it from some movie or film or something of that nature?

[_jr_]

Looks like a statue to me.

[Aunt_Acid]

Is it a sketch?

But again, your inquisitiveness is something that should never be lost.

Pretty soon, you are going to want to strangle my inquisitiveness and throw it into a furnace.
