I first thought "Stuck In The Middle With You" was Bob Dylan. But it's Stealers Wheel (Gerry Raferty went on to write "Baker Street") who have better songs anyway. I was talking to some friends last week and Santana came up, and I realized I needed to check out the discography and first off, I'll say "Caravanserai" is his best album, easily. At the beginning, I thought, "Maybe he guested as a favor, especially since Phil Collins was hot" - which might be a reason to sound like him :) How Long https://youtu.be/3BnGv_hTkP8 ------------- https://www.youtube.com/c/LoyalOpposition https://www.scribd.com/document/382737647/MortSahlFan-Song-List |

It seems to me that there's a lot of reasoning going on in your mind that doesn't get typed out...  ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Soft Machine - Soft Space: sounding like Donna Summer & Giorgio Moroder on "I Feel Love".  |

There are just a few seconds that give away this could be from a Steve Hackett album (awesome song): |

Steve Hackett - Mechanical Bride = King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man. However it was deliberate though by Hackett and partly a homage. I guess that's not really what you are looking for but I'm struggling to think of anything else. Inside of popular music how about Tony Christie - Avenues And Alleyways = Cat Stevens - Matthew and Son. The fomer was the theme music to the TV show The Protectors (1972). It's probably more of a 'feel' thing though.

"Air Born" from Camel Moonmadness breaks into an instrumental section which has similarities to the melody played in "Flying" by The Beatles. Steve Hackett "Jacuzzi " is identical to the melody in "Piggies" by The Beatles only played much faster over a different rhythm pattern. |

Eagles 'Train Leaves Here This Morning' sounds like it could be a CSNY song ------------- The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time... |

Speaking of Santana, I thought that "Winning" (a Russ Ballard song sung by Alex Ligertwood who sang "How Long") sounded like Steve Winwood's solo material from the 80's. |

Speaking of Alex Ligertwood, he provided vocals for one of the only two Dreg's (Dixie Dregs) songs with vocals, "Crank It Up", which I thought sounded like the Doobie Brothers. It turns out that the other Dregs song with vocals was co-written and sung by Doobie Brothers co-founder Patrick Simmons |

| Dream Theater more or less ripped off UK's In the Dead Of Night solo in the song Trial Of Tears (guitar solo, bass line). Weird... |

Al Stewart's On The Border... For decades, I thought it was The Eagles but at their absolute best. (especially that the band had an album and a song called that... But once I heard their (horrible) song, it started worrying, ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
