Pink Floyd vs John Prine
I have a real puzzle with this one.
The start of Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut" sounds very reminiscent of John Prine's "Sam Stone", recorded eleven years earlier. What I can't work out is whether both are based on a hymn I'm not familiar with. There has to be some reason for the correspondence. The tune's identical, the theme's similar and the instrumentation is too alike to be coincidence. I'd be grateful for anyone's opinion.

I like John Prine which, I recognise, indicates a lack of taste on my part.

Re: Pink Floyd vs John Prine
I'm not familiar with John Prines work. Reading a review of his first album, I'm suprised it passed me by. 5 stars.
I cant offer anything on the similarity of the music but its interesting that they are both about the experience of war http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p...3:xuoibka9fa1z |

Arnold, I'd not have heard "Sam Stone" either except it was on an amazing Atlantic sampler I bought. It was full of goodies, including Yes' "America" which still leaves me dumbstruck. And, now I remember, Buffalo Springfield's "Where Ya at, Mule". They don't make albums like that any more.
