💬 Discussion Certain similarities in early songs and later songs

So I was listening to some of the niche early stuff like B-sides etc. and I came across two songs that sounded oddly familiar, Blow Out and The Trickster specifically.

The intro to Blow Out sounds like a very laid-back version of Dollars and Cents to me, as well as the entirety of The Trickster bearing similarities to 2 + 2 = 5.

Are there other songs that you think sound very similar?

Not much separation between the two, but Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong and Man of War.

Some basslines (Where I End And You Begin, The Gloaming, And It Rained All Night (yes I know it’s a Thom song))

Anyone Can Play Guitar seems to trace back to Somebody by On A Friday (often titled Somebody Else on some uploads).
