Let me get this straight, you're inferring that pop music sounds generic?

We are professionals.

Sorry about that though.  Only...it's pop music.  It has that reputation.

Ok. Yes, pop music is often generic.

I enjoy finding songs that sound almost identical. Can anybody point out some more?

Also, the first track on The Spider Project (http://www.reverbnation.com/thespiderproject) sounds like Neubauten's Seele Brennt (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou6kN-XUh_U).

Except when you try to use "Jew" as an insult, right?

Pretty much everything by Oasee-iss, sounds like everything else they ever did.
But they do do the best Beatles songs, since ELO.

Yngwie Malmsteen

His music sounds suspiciously like Bach & Paganini. Also, all his records sound like all his other records.

Does this count as double plagiarism?

Yes.  And somehow, he still has a recording career.

 :argh!: @ RWHN!

I found the Malmsteen clip of him doing Beat It. It's diabolically bad. I don't even like Michael Jackson and I think he (Malmsteen) ruined the song. 

You will pay for this!!

He should know better than to mess with a Michael Jackson song.  Especially one where Eddie Van Halen is providing the guitar work.
