Derivative Bands

My top 5 list of great derivative bands:

1. Placebo

One part Pixies, a dash of Nirvana (also a Pixies derivative)*, 1/8 part The Cure, 1/8 part The Smashing Pumpkins, 1/4 part watered down Nine Inch Nails.

2. Muse

1 part Pixies, 1/2 part Queen, 1/8 part Radiohead, 1/8 part Placebo, 1/8 part Kyuss/Queens of the Stone Age

3. Colder

Equal parts Joy Division, Bauhaus, 1/4 part Sisters of Mercy

4. The Faint

Homogeneous mixture of 80's synth pop and 70's punk.

5. Fischerspooner

1 part Franky Goes to Hollywood, 1/2 part The Cure, 1/4 part New Order


*Early Placebo should be mixed using 1/2 part Nirvana.
