Led Zeppelin keeps popping up here. They’re either sounding like someone else or others are sounding like them. Check out some of the history of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You“.
Led Zeppelin - "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" (1969)
And now check these out!
Chicago - "25 or 6 to 4" (1970)
Green Day - "Brain Stew/Jaded" (1995)
White Stripes - "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" (2001)
Thanks to Craig for this set of gems!
I thought “Brain Stew” sounded like “Ten Years Gone”, not making the connection between it and “Babe. I’m Gonna Leave You” It is not just the chord progression, it is the rythym vocals and general sound of the song.
What about “Ugly kid joe’s – Slower Than Nowhere”
and yes… it is kind of a common chord progression
Also something that mixes well or would make a good addition to these in a mash-up is that “guitar gently weeps” beatles track, has a similar downward chord progression.
I overlooked that this song has already been mentioned here, sorry bout that.
Don’t forget the Kinks “Sunny Afternoon” and Tenacious D’s “Greatest Song in the World (Tribute)!”
Papa Roach – Last Resort has the same riff as in Green Day’s Brain Stew. It’s much more noticeable between those two songs. The Led Zeppelin song is much more of a lyrical or piano style in my opinion. Still a memorable riff to hear and make the connection to other songs.
