The Rolling Stones are being sued

I think the most shocking part of this post is that The Rolling Stones are still around.  Anyway, back in 2020 during the height of COVID lockdown the Stones recorded a song called “Living In A Ghost Town”. Some guy named Sergio Garcia Fernandez wrote a few songs back in 2006/2007 that he had personally shared with a family member of the Jagger’s.  I learned all of this from Yahoo!

The least exciting part about this is how mediocre the music is. I admittedly don’t spend very much time passing judgement on quality of music on this website but, well, have a listen. Do they sound very similar? Can you even spend the time listening when there is so much other great music to listen to?

Also, for whatever reason when I google “Rolling Stones Members” Mick Jagger is listed as “Harmonica”

Ed Sheeran vs. Yacht vs. The Rolling Stones

This latest submission by Kirb takes us back to one of the first posts on ThatSongSoundsLike (The Rolling Stones vs. Yacht)   in 2007. My friend Alex played Yacht‘s “See a Penny (Pick it Up)” and I also immediately heard “Miss You” by the Stones. Fast forward to 2014 and we have Ed Sheeran and his track “Sing” (co-written and produced by Pharrell Williams). Check out the chorus of “Sing” along with these others tracks:

Ed Sheeran - "Sing" (2014)
Yacht - "See a Penny (Pick it Up)" (2007)
The Rolling Stones - "Miss You" (1978)

The Rolling Stones vs. The Specials vs. The Dandy Warhols

Here’s a great submission from Joshua.

Check out the similar bluesy riffs in all three of these classic hits. First the 1971 The Rolling Stones song “Brown Sugar”, followed by 1979 English ska group The Specials “Little Bitch” and later the 2001 Dandy Warhols track “Bohemian Like You”
