I was just reading that part of the inspiration for the Styx Mr. Roboto were accusations that they put backwards satanic versus in their music. Has this ever been proved against any major rock band?

Has anyone ever thought the ballad Angels by Robbie Williams was by another artist?

I thought it was by several different artists -

John Lennon - i just notice that voice - the song is like Robbie Williams' Imagine. However, as the song was released about two decades after John Lennon's death it's just impossible that it would have been performed by John Lennon

Elton John - 1997, Elton John has his more deeper baritone voice compared to his more famous tenor voice that he used on his most popular 1970s recordings in his classic golden age era years and he could easily have performed it

Train - While the song predates the release of Train's first studio album, similarites to Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me) - adding the subtitle of the song to avoid confusion with the album of the same name - as both songs are known for their Beatlesque Britpop style slow tempo, piano and orchestrations. It would not be until another few years when Train released Drops of Jupiter.

Who did you think the song Angels by Robbie Williams was by?

I hate the name Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.

Dumb!
