I was listening to the new NoFX album today. There was a song called "Cool And Unusual Punishment" that had a guitar part in it that was very "Frankish". Anyone hear that song? Know what I mean? What other bands or songs remind you of Frank Black or the Pixies? |

Breeders kinda reminds me of Pixies
...And if I'm right, the urban plight is not the problem. |

Older stuff:
Many tracks on Lee Hazlwood's Cowboy in Sweden have that same country-music-with-a-subtle-eccentric-undercurrent quality of some of Frank's Catholics stuff. (And Frank's Nancy Sinatra CD in that clip on YouTube verifies that Frank is familiar with Lee Hazlewood's work).
Lou Reed's song "Goodby Mass" off of Magic & Loss is a song from 1990 or so that I just heard a few years ago and it instantly reminded me of some of Frank and the Catholics elegant "cabaret" (or that's what I call them at least) style songs, like "This Old Heartache". |

Nick Cave sometimes. Particularly on the song "babe I got you bad"

This is what a guy told me who had proudly performed his "new song" for me that was a cut and dried rip off of McCartney's Blackbird. I guess he's right to a degree, but just don't run out of ideas in The Beatles neighborhood, alright? Next....
Sounds like a douche. I know loads of current bands who don't rip off old songs.

Has anyone heard Carribean Wind by Dylan? For some reason everytime I hear it I can't help but imagine FB and the C's playing it.

This is so cliche but Stephen Malkamus in the songwriting definately. Honeycomb and FMRM remind me of Dylan. |

The main chord progression to Say It Ain't So by Weezer is the same as Where Is My Mind, it just starts on a different chord..
