Seeing as "This sounds like" is a theme, how about Grant Lee Buffalo?

reminds me of some kind of trippy, creepy version of Hot Chocolate's Emma {#Think}
I am hearing the occasional hint of Marc Bolan.
Sounds like that big stud Sivert a bit....

Yes, somewhat in the phrasing and draggy style, but this guy sounds like he opens his mouth more than Mr. Petty does when singing - not quite as nasal.   Really, listening to his voice instead of just the phrasing, it doesn't sound much like Petty, Ferry, or Harrison to me.

That's brilliant!
I hear Bryan Ferry.
I must have been in a bad mood the first time I heard it, just raised it from a six to a seven.

Keith Emerson + David Hasselhoff = Emmerhoff

 

Dire Straits + Chris Rea = Direrea (diarrhea)
This is from 2004 and it´s a sad one, bad, bad. Next please!
7, to bad Itunes doesn't have this Album
He sounds a bit like Bryan Ferry.

Keith Emerson + David Hasselhoff = Emmerhoff

That song must have been written in the winter time... when it is dark and cold... so cold.......
At first I heard Prince's "When Doves Cry" and wondered what kind of moonshine the artist had been guzzling to pair that song with a banjo.... Luckily I was wrong.
ok, I get it..one of Bill's themes
I like the touch of the funereal banjo lick. Cool and creepy - 7.

Yeah, the percussion sounds weird. Either it's a badly encoded MP3, or simply bad production.

Old Man by Neil Young?
To the rhythm of the song: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...

Thought it was copy of "when doves cry" at first.
I did too at first!!
Sitting here doing some work, this song had me thinking about an old flame I haven't seen or heard from in over fifteen years. Hi Jay, miss you.
This song is just too short...Love it :D:
Haven't heard this in awhile. Good Song. I like it when Bill mines the deep portions of the RP vault.

I am actually finding myself enjoying this less now that I've heard this a few x...

i like it. 7.

Is that a banjo I hear? Style points for that alone...
go norway
I love this song! Can anyone offer any hints on where to find this album? I gotta have it!
Simply amazing! So sexy ;)
I've heard this several times now, and i'm still diggin' it. great number.
It\'s great hearing music from countries other than the US/UK. Here in California, the internet is one of the few ways to access that music.
Diggit! lets hear more from these guys.
