Default Bands that are pretty much copies of others.

I find it rather amusing that everyone seems to have forgotten about MGMT:



...how anyone can say this isn't a tuneless version of:

We need a protective shield to keep Harry, Zippy and Smithy away from this one.

Beady Eye are an obvious one. But even the massively overrated Oasis end up sounding far too much like a Manc rip off of The Beatles without the Maharishi intervention and with too much coke.

Most crap metal bands inadvertently end up channeling Spinal Tap. Coldplay sound in places like a watered down Radiohead for pussies and have in turn inspired a whole vapid generation of noughties radio rock.

It's funny, because seemingly every manufactured boyband wants to sound like a Coldplay parody now... which is difficult as Coldplay have been a parody of U2 for the better part of three years.

Interpol are a blatant Joy Division pastiche though and I remember hearing Mew and thinking of them as a dumbed-down Sigur Ros (even after SR dumbed themselves down).

I think the Foo Fighters and Green Day both sound like an extremely polished, overproduced Husker Du and Ash (incidentally the worst live band I've ever seen) a cheap imitation of Dinosaur Jr.

While we're on the subject of people taking credit for somebody else's work, that "gaze into the abyss" quote in the MGMT video is falsely attributed to Mark Twain and is actually an aphorism from Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil.
