Music is cyclical too

Now this is a post I have been formulating for a while. I am huge into music, as FuW could attest. I think the third thing I would run out of the house with in an emergency is my ipod behind FuW and the cat. Itunes is on everyday for hrs. Anyway, I have discovered a few groups and there sounds is very familiar, probably because of my age more then anything else. And I really didnt discover them, just found them on MTV. Anyway, I am amazed how some of my favorite bands and artists sound alot like some of my favorite bands and artists from the past. Here are my examples...

The Killers=a very modern sounding band, ala Depeche Mode, or most definetly the Cure, listen to the lead singers voice modulations in some of his songs.

Franz Ferdinand=heavy on the guitar, but not at that metal level. I can easily compare them to The Clash and one of my favorites Elvis Costello & the Attractions

Keane=I struggled alot with this comparison, until it just hit me while I was in the shower. At least on the surface, which is all I have heard really from them Keane reminds me an awful lot of Crowded House.

Usher=talent wise he is cross between a more normal Michael Jackson, and a doubly more normal Prince. A showman, who can probably sing the ingredients to a martini and make it sound good. Plus he works with some of the best producers in the business.

The Black Eyed Peas=ya I cant fit them into anything, I mean they remind me alot of the fugees, the female singer is not as talented as Lauryn Hill, but better looking, but how can the Fugees be a classic influence when they were out in like 1999.

anybody else have any ideas on groups.

Oh and I heard this song by Straylight Foundation today, great great great song.
