Songs that sound alike

Okay, but Freedom Fighter by Rainbow and Public enemy number 1 by Mötley Crüe
AND
Lonely planet boy by New York Dolls and You can’t put your arms around a memory by Johnny Thunders

On the first one, not everyone hears it when I mention it but the first time I heard Freedom fighter I thought of that song by Mötley. And the second one, the chords are basically almost the same and the rhythm and the atmosphere 😭😭😭 okay I ranted it all YAYAYAY

Yesterday was 46 years since the release of Queen's Another One Bites The Dust as a single on August 12th 1980 in the USA and Queen released an updated "Remastered" version of it on YouTube, with higher quality.

Looking for more 50s-influenced albums/songs

Hey all, slowly building a glam cd collection, and I find myself particularly drawn to one subgenre- Neo-50s glam rock 'n' roll. Screaming, wailing saxes, jangling right hand piano, dirty guitars and good ol fashioned rock and roll.

You hear it in the Rocky Horror soundtrack. You hear it on "Bat Out of Hell". You hear it on songs like David Bowie's "Star" and "Suffragette City" or Mott the Hoople's "Golden Age of Rock and Roll" (very apt).

Do you have any other recommendations for similar sounding songs, or even better, albums?

I’M SO HAPPY ABOUT THESE FINDS 🥹🥹🥹

This was the first time I came across something by T.Rex that isn’t a compilation album of Marc Bolan or the band, a single or a maxi, but an actual studio album 🥹🥹🥹 and I know Johnny thunders isn’t really glam if we don’t look at his work in New York Dolls BUT STILL, I’M SO HAPPY
