Bands most like the Rats

Not a hugh amount comes to mind. Definitely  there's  the Doctor Feelgood  influence down to Pete Briquettes "homage" to Wilko Johnson at live performances. Also the australian "punk" band with horns The Saints have the same raw r and b feel and energy and Pulp with their catchy intelligent pop songs and charismatic- frontman take a bow Jarvis- come to mind. Theres also Geldof's Jaggeresque stage presence so the Stones would have some influince- possibly the Pretty Things for the raw energy feel ln the early albums. Any thoughts?

Razorlight are ringers.  I half expect Borrell to sing "The silicon chip..." at the start of Wire to Wire.

Razorlight are one of those bands I havent got ' round to hearing despite trying to keep up to hip music ie Libertines/ Dirthy Pretty things and the usual NME hyped bands. I do remember some Irish  so called music critic making a passing reference to the Rats/ Razorlight  "connection" he wasn't enamoured with either band particularly- but in this musical Banana Republic the Rats have always got a bad deal so Geldof was right in my opinion to be plentiful with his comdemnation of this overrated country and its self importance . The Rats never wore their Irishness like U2 - give me the Rats any day of the week! PS - I'll check out Razorlight.

White Lies aren't really like the Rats (mix of various bands) but there are definite Rats guitar/Drums in some of the tracks!
