Given the history of The Offspring on this site Travis and I were both a little surprised to see a band sounding LIKE The Offspring rather than the other way around. Check out the main riff on Linkin Park’s 2009 “New Divide” and The Offspring’s 1997 “Gone Away”. After listening to the both of these I also certainly hear Tears for Fears “Mad World” especially in “New Divide”. Maybe that’s what the guy on the turntable in the band is actually playing 🙂
Linkin Park - "New Divide" (2009)
The Offspring - "Gone Away" (1997)
Tears for Fears - "Mad World" (1982)
And overall “New Divide” and “Gone Away” have very similar verse instrumentation.

thanks for this one Keith..
btw.. check out these 3:
bee gees: words
richard harris: macarthur park
faith hill and tim mcgraw: like we never loved at all
Nice one!
this one could be a stretch
beach boys: sloop john b
glen campbell: rhinestone cowboy
cant post links..
sum 41: makes no difference
relient k: pressing on
bowling for soup: punk rock 101
avril: everything back but you
Only thing that sounded alike to me was Makes no Difference and Punk Rock 101
offsprig: half truism
mcr: helena
offspring pretty much took the whole thing with slight changes..
im still convinced though that chorus is something much older especially the offspring version
Only thing that sounded alike to me was the bridge.
Martina McBride: in my daughter’s eyes
Edwin McCain: could not ask for more
Sara Evans version is probably more known
is it just me or are these 3 alot alike?

this is what ibwas trying to think of for taylors track
If you listen the chorus of Invincible by Muse you’ll find it similar with the chorus of Everybody’s Changing by Keane
