Reply to Post 51294 by Paj in Worst/Most Annoying Songs of '09
There are only seven basic notes / chords in the musical structure, so there was always going to be a finite amount of chord progressions and only so much unique sounds people could add to these, after which it just becomes re-inventing the wheel so to speak!
I get that, I've spent years wrinting different songs using the same chords. One day I may learn a fith chord, but untill I've finished ploughing the 4 chord furrow, why change?
I don't mean ripped off a song as in it sounds like the original. I mean they have (rather than sample a section) taken, from the original recording, the whole track and just added new words & melody. In that rip-off of Echo Bech, it's not a song that sounds a bit like Echo Beach, they've taken the whole track, minus the vocals and it's a load of poo.
