This is an update to Steely Dan vs. XTC originally submitted by Travis
I was listening to some Dylan the other day and “Positively 4th Street” (1965) range a bell. Aha, something that’s already on ThatSongSoundsLike.
Have a listen to the verse of Dylan’s “Positively 4th Street”, Steely Dan‘s “Barrytown” (1974) and XTC‘s “Standing in for Joe” (2000) .
Update:
As Travis pointed out below, on the original post somebody pointed out The Beatles‘ 1965 song “Tell Me What You See”
Update 8/8/2012:
via XTC’s official twitter account:
By the way, the Beatles song “Long, Long, Long” is a total ripoff of Dylan’s “Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands”.
On a similar note, the song Midnight Cruiser sounds a lot like Dear Eloise by the Hollies.
