Of course they sound alike. That doesn't make it copyright infringement.

But this Thicke dude has a thing for Marvin Gaye.
Look, Thicke is a complete douche. If that were the only thing insinuated by the NPR article, this discussion would have stopped immediately. The Gaye family may well have LOTS of opportunities to take action against the guy and win, I just don't think they would win in the case of "Blurred Lines"

Well, your wrong, so there.

Stripes, and sunglasses?

Totally different songs?!
The drum and percussion rhythm, even the sounds. The bass line. And even the subtle rhodes rhythm and sound.

And it doesn't make you right, just because you "dared to say" something. I guess some people just likes to argue.

Woah, +1.
Imo, this last example is so much worse than the first one.

To me it sounds like they purposefully copied whole bits of the arrangement.

A lot of movies and television shows order sound-alikes to get around paying high licensing fees. The weird thing here is Clint Eastwood and co. must have paid Robin Thicke quite a bit for the licensing so why not just license it from the Marvin Gaye family?

Theo, while I agree about the gist of your post, and do notice the generally contemptuous anti-pop attitude of the forum, it's nothing that should completely inhibit you from sharing your music with an audience that just might really like it, imho. And I'm not just saying that because now I'm curious (ok maybe a little). I've seen the terms "good" and "pop song" in the same sentence numerous times in the music cafe. There's always some kind of audience.

Actually there's a lot of great music in the KVR music café. Every now and then I listen to a few songs, and while there is many "experimental stuff" which is not my taste, there were rarely songs which were that bad that I had to press "Stop"...

I think why certain people get a lot of responses is because they know these KVR members for a long time, not because of how great their music is.

But even a pop-oriented NineOfKings gets more (positive) responses now than last year...

Oh this must be where the thread goes totally off the rails.

Sorry Uncle E, I dont follow.
Where does Clint come in?
