Foo Fighters vs. Pearl Jam

October 5, 2007 9:38 AM

Why does the Foo Fighters song "Friend of a Friend" remind me of a very specific Pearl Jam song?

Is there one that actually sounds similar or has very similar lyrics? Or am I the only one who gets that feeling? Or do they just all sound a bit similar?

World Famous: I think that was the question.

Ah. I thought the question was why.

null terminated, I think that's it, even though it somehow doesn't sound that similar anymore. Maybe it's the "clock ticking" and "sitting in a room" parts that did it.
