After millennia of human music making you're not going to get original sounds. What you will get is variations on the many, many themes in music, including rock. The Charlatans plainly have elements of older rock sounds in their songs, as does every other rock band. Try seeing it as homage rather than rip-off. A tip of the hat to the Nottingham jury.

coloradojohn Jan 27, 2013 - 17:16	I once thought they'd never top their early stuff, but — EVERY TIME, this radical jammer catches and grabs me by the ears...and of course, I RUN TO CRANK IT UP, then I sit back and let their catchy grooves soak in, just like I used to! [ Reply ]

LPCity Oct 19, 2012 - 16:08	Maybe I'm out in left field on this one, but the song it sounds most like to me is Fascination Street by The Cure... [ Reply ]

Yeah, I thought this was Stone Roses when I first heard this as well. If you read the Charlatans' Wikipedia entry you'll realize that their claim to be the "world's unluckiest band" isn't far off.

Is it a rip-off when we pick up our air guitars and join in with a riff like that? How much better, then to have a professional rock band to rip it off - to rip it up! Yay! Thank you lawman! Seems some people here are sitting there just waiting to hear even the slightest sound, in their opinion, that is a "rip-off" from another artist. These people need to get a life.... [ Reply ]

It's a broken or arpeggiated minor chord, not really a "riff". I'm not sure about it being "totally a rip-off"; it's unlikely that these guys ever even listened to Al Stewart. Who knows; anything is possible. [ Reply ]
Stingray Sep 04, 2011 - 10:47	VERY SIMPATICO!! Great band - great album - great song! [ Reply ]
Cynaera Aug 14, 2011 - 11:46	The more I hear this, the more I love it. Such a powerful sound - and yes, "On the Border" springs to mind at first, but it takes such a different path from the intro that the comparison to Al Stewart stops there. This song shines on its own merits. Bumping from 8 to 9 because it just MOVES me. [ Reply ]

I have a feeling I will like this song even more hearing it again. Please... Bill play some more Charlatan tracks (quick review on Amazon and most of the songs on this album sound pretty good). Yeah, it could be Ian Brown singing - could've swore it was 'Roses (or Brown's solo work) too. Charlatans compare nicely. More of all the above please Bill. [ Reply ]
