Okay guys lets have a bit of fun with this! Post examples of songs that you think sounds like a Garbage song, or, vice versa, if it's an older song, a Garbage song that sounds a bit like it. Obvious ones that Garbage have admitted to sampling like Don't Worry Baby or Talk of the Town will get you a big knee-high boot in the groin!!!! (PS If it's a specific point in a song, rather than the whole song, write where abouts it is) I'll start off with a few: REM "Orange Crush"This one's a bit of a cheat, cause people have long mentioned that it sounds like Garbage sampled the drum intro for the chorus of Stupid Girl (It's easier to hear on the Tee's radio mix intro as that mix doesnt have the Clash drum samples). Manu Chao "Bongo Bong"A bit of the groove from Sex Never Goes Out of Fashion on this one? Carpenters "Superstar"The opening notes and verse background of this always make me think of The World is Not Enough (I think they both have similar chord movements and are in the same key) Martha and the Muffins "Echo Beach"Something about the bouncyness and the bassline of VVVYYyyyy Duuunt You CUMMM OVAHHH reminds me of this song Nikki Costa "Everybody Got That Something"Couldn't be more a rip-off of the riff from Cherry Lips

Nu - Any Other Girl Lyrics very similar to BWF (re: dancing, fighting). Lead vocals treated with similar FX used on tons of B-sides. Song structure similar to BUTG. Backing vocals nearly identical to BUTG. Singer has bleach-blonde spiky short hair and single-strap tank-top ala BG. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzGP4R7ZbQ8

I like this topic. There was a band around in the late 90s early 2000s called Brainiacs Daughter. They were very similar to Garbage. I even got to see them live a few times before they split up in 2001. One song in particular called "Love be Love" is very similar lyricly to "You Look So Fine." The line "Why is the desert drowning me?" is a shout out to Garbage's "I'm like the desert tonight" and "Drown in me one more time" I can't find any of their stuff online anymore but here is a link to something: www.billboard.com/song/brainiacs-daughter/love-be-love/9166804#/song/brainiacs-daughter/love-be-love/9166804I own the album so ask me anything. There was another song called Angry Love that sounds like "Trip My Wire"

Wow that Nikka Costa song...totally Cherry Lips influenced sort of in the way Vanilla Ice was influenced by Queen's Under Pressure. The bassline has that one little different note...not a bad song though. The melody and such diverges quite a bit from Cherry Lips.
Over the years, I think my perspective on artists sampling/borrowing influences from other work has changed a lot and I've taken more of the "hmmmm...that's interesting" perspective rather than the "oh they're totally ripping off x".

And the easy thing to do is to copy the main riff to create the vocal melody. It's to Shirley's credit that WIGU has a totally different, and really good, verse melody than the intro melody. That's part of why the Garbage song is much better than the Vanity Fare song.

Nikki Costa "Everybody Got That Something"Couldn't be more a rip-off of the riff from Cherry Lips Everybody Got Their Something was released six months before BeautifulGarbage, so... not immediately a rip off

Everybody Got Their Something was released six months before BeautifulGarbage, so... not immediately a rip off Wow. That's amazing. Based on the amount of time it takes to get an album out even after you've recorded it (gotta wait for the right release date window, gotta master it, gotta press the CDs, gotta distribute) that means there's very little chance either one of them copied each other because they were so close together. Yet those intros are incredibly alike.

This band Stellar* are for sure Garbage clones, they brought out an album called Mix in 1999 which spawned several #1 hits here in New Zealand - their look was very similar, the music was obviously similar and they even opened for Garbage while they were in this neck of the woods during the Version 2.0 tour, apparently the bands didn't get along...

Someone pointed this out to me earlier - can you hear the Garbage song that sounds similar to this? You guys need to research before posting. Nikka Costa's song was released in May of 2001, while Garbage recorded Cherry Lips between April and May of that same year. They didn't release until 2002. So in this instance Garbage were the ones blatantly ripping off another artists work.
