The "Songs that sound as PSB by other artists" thread

#1 Post by Oznerol »

Being this maybe one of the biggest PSB-esque songs by other artist ever made (...I mean before 'Chris Kalera' surfaced ;) ...):

Momus - Hairstyle Of The Devil

...I´m also intrigued on some others you may know too! Any other examples around??

I'm trying to think of some not so obvious tracks.

This Finnish one hit wonder had a PSB-esque hit: Firevision: Stars It's catchy as hell although a bit repetitive.

I remember a fan compilation of songs similar to the PSB. some of the awesome songs included
Plus Staples - We Got To Be
T42 - Let Me Go (a Heaven 17 cover i believe)
Jocelyn Enriquez (or someone) - Do you miss me

also, i think Johnny Hates Jazz songs sound a bit like PSB :)

What's Uma Thurman doing in Finland?

Hmm, that video's a bit Glitter-esque.

This was a massive hit in Denmark. A lot of people thought that it sounded like PSB. Not quite sure myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyo00Lv0RiQ

Magic by Ladyhawke would be an obvious candidate.
