I'll start. Bad Obsession by GNR is the best song that the Black Crowes never wrote!

    This could be fun....

    The Black Crowes' "Hotel Illness" (and most of Southern Harmony) is them doing the Rolling Stones better than the Rolling Stones ever did the Rolling Stones
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I always thought Red Mosquito would have been a great song for the Duane-era Allman Brothers to play. Not sure if this qualifies for the discussion.

    "She's a Rainbow" by the Rolling Stones sounds like the Beatles singing terrible outtakes from Sgt. Pepper with a cocky swagger.

    I always get a feeling to play Mettallica after listening to Acid Bubble by AIC

    "Soon Forget" sounds just like The Who's "Blue Red And Grey"
    Also,
    "Against The 70's" could also be The Who. Reminds me of "Christmas" from Tommy.

    For a more obscure choice, Midlake "Roscoe" sounds like a great QOTSA song to me.

    A horse with no name by America, sounds like a song written by Neil Young. So much so, that I thought it WAS a Neil Young song back when I was 15-16. Oh God, I hope I'm not the only one. :oops:

    yes! i was listening to an interview with aic and they were being interviewed by lars and james and they were mentioning how they could have written it.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Wilco's Hummingbird sounds like it was written by The Beatles.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    lotta love by neil young could've been written by the flaming lips
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    Tom Petty's American Girl sounds like something The Byrds could've done. Hell, even Roger McGuinn thought he wrote it when he first heard it on the radio!

    +1 :D

    Lead Singer from Muse=
    Bellamy's father, George, was rhythm guitarist in the 1960s pop group The Tornados, who were the first British band to have a United States number one song.

    sorry, just learned this, thought i'd share.

    That's awesome, I've always referred to that chord structure as the 'Cop-Out Ballad Chords'

    It's Okay by The Dead Moon uses that as well
    and Just what I Needed from The Cars

    A lot have bands have done a lot of things with that.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Amen my brotha. I think a lot of bands do the stones better then the stones. How about Under My Thumb covered by Social D? They even do a sick ass cover of your avatar's Ring of Fire! Check out the stones under my thumb if you haven't heard it yet, but I'm sure you have....
