Not really talking about covers such as Gloria or Baby Please Don't Go but rather songs clearly influenced by Them in musical style or Van Morrison vocal delivery.

This is what comes to my mind:

Roots - It's Been a Long Long Journey
Painted Ship - She Said Yeah/I Told You Little White Lies
Things To Come - Speak Of The Devil
Knaves - Leave Me Alone

Anything else i missed?

Speaking of European ones, this is the almost missing Them song/arrangement.


Their Belfast contemporaries, early 1965

 
You would think it's Morrison parody but it's Jagger one since this Merseybeats EP came out in spring 1964 long before Them even entered Decca studios.

 
The Ace/Big Beat 2010 expanded CD of the old Mainstream Records comp With Love A Pot Of Flowers
features several unreleased songs by The Ban (of "Bye Bye" fame), including a totally 'Them-ed out'
track called "Place Of Sin" that fits the bill here. I understand that The Ban supported the Van
Morrison version of Them at several 1966 California shows, so they definitely learned from the best.

This is also clearly inspired by Them. There's a whole bunch of Raik's Progress studio acetates which Sundazed didn't discovered but which are in Alec's possesion. There is particularly cool version of that song on those.

Absolutely killer track. Thanks!

Reason i'm collecting such songs i because i just did this. Read description (and maybe listen - this came out pretty good). I'm planning to do simular mix on Them & related songs/bands.

"Sleepy Hollow" by the Last Word was the first one I thought of.
