Spiritual Successors or Blatant Ripoffs in music?

Lifehouse is similar to Nirvana?

I think so, yeah. Maybe not now, I haven't heard anything from them in a long time. Their lyrics were nothing alike, but the sounds and vocals were similar.

Not even remotely close.

Well, it's all subjective. Agree to disagree

I do love me some Lifehouse either way

I don't know about DC from the RHC. When I listen, I don't hear Last Dance with Mary Jane. The tempo is completely different. Also, the chords aren't quite the same and the hammer on's on Last Dance make it different. The choruses are completely different.

Thats about as close as it gets to a "rip off".

And i dont consider it one.

The vocal melody is super similar too.

There was a band that was super similar to Nirvana called Dandelion. They started in the late 80's (after Nirvana though), and had a demo pre-Nevermind that had traction, so I can't say they ripped Nirvana off or anything.




Just realized the lead singer has my haircut too (aka too much of a procrastinator to get it cut).
