Sum 41
Blink 182
Good Charlotte

They are rip off's of Green Day!

Creed
The Calling

Are rip offs of Pearl Jam

I was in a cafe this morning and they had the radio on. Avril Le-whatever was on and I thought, she's just Alanis light. They played Alanis right after.

you are so right!

avril lavigne
fefe dobson

are both alanis morrisette rip offs!

The killers are a rip-off of Duran Duran

Silverchair were rip-offs of Stone Temple Pilots

I also once thought Meredith Brook's "Bitch" song ripped off Alanis' initial sound from Jagged Little PIll.

By that criteria Green Day is a rip-off of The Ramones.

I wasn't gonna say anything....

I suppose you're right, however I think that Green Day has really created a particular sound that can be heard in pretty much every pop punk band out there right now. That's why I say they sound more like green day than the ramones. blink 182 doesn't sound like the ramones to me, but definietly green day!

Every hip-hop person/group going at the moment is a complete a rip off, of a rip off, of a rip off!

Montell Jordan. His singing style is a rip-off of R. Kelly who is a rip-off of Aaron Hall who is a rip-off of Charlie Wilson.

and STP was initially a rip-off of Pearl Jam

OdysseyMiles said:

really? they sound more like a rip-off of social distortion and the clash to me.

dancerella said:

I always heard more of a Buzzcocks influence in Green Day. Maybe The Buzzcocks were influenced by The Ramones also. Almost all punk can be traced back to The Ramones.

Yes it seemed everybody wanted to sound like Eddie Vedder

OdysseyMiles said:

'Core' was certainly not better than 'Ten'!

Oasis are a Beatles rip-off (oops didn't read the question fully)

I don't know why Interpol is conisdered a bunch of Joy Division ripoffs.

But I'll tell you this:

Faith No More wishes they were The Chili Peppers.

Remy Zero wishes they were U2.

stellastarr* wishes they were Talking Heads (but I like them anyway )

And Korn wishes they were The Deftones.
