    So two out of eight albums, and three 'concept' albums. Close enough to 80% for me.

    Well, there was the Unfinished Music, and the Wedding album.
    Look, it was only a cheap joke, so I'm not getting into a big John lennon discussion. I don't mind the first two albums myself, but I wouldn't be a great fan of him.

    'Talisman' by Air sounds just like an instrumental version of 'You Do Something To Me' by Paul Weller.

    "
    Nirvana - 'smells like teen spirit' uses the same chords as Boston's 'more than a feeling'; when you listen to the 2 songs the similarities are uncanny. For those of you unfamiliar with 'more than a feeling', it was the song playing in the background when Tony soprano has a heart attack in his car."


    Very different chords there lad.

    Surprised nobody's mentioned Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles and Setting Suns by Chemicals/Noel Gallagher. Come to think, Chemicals used that drumbeat several times, along with a few other bands. So much for Ringo being sh!te.

    Also:

    Charlatans - Only One I Know = Deep Purple - Hush

    Verve - Bittersweet Symphony = Rolling Stones - The Last Time (although they did end up having to pay royalties iirc, would love to know who told Richard Ashcroft they'd get away with that.)

    U2 - Vertigo = The Supremes - You Just Keep Me Hanging On. Also anyone else notice the similarities between Bad and Joy Division's Atmosphere?

    Half of Second Coming by Stone Roses is a blatant lift from Led Zeppelin, specifically (I think) Black Dog, No Quarter and Dazed & Confused

    Then again, we shouldn't really expect originality in rock anymore; it just makes it all the sweeter when when you do find it.

    Blur - MOR = David Bowie - Boys Keep Swinging. Although I'm sure it's deliberate. But I can't find any credits in the sleeve notes.

    That God-awful Mundy - July = Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel - Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)

    Yea, the next person to suggest a song for plaguerism that is clearly sampling gets a mighty SLAP! ;)

    Also, I think there's a bit of confusion going on here between plaguerism and era. ALOT of artists all jumped on the same technology at the same time, i.e. Moog, Synth Drums (808 :) ), vocoding (and still do) hence alot of similiar sounding records.

    Some great comparisons though!

    The start of Pump It Up by Elvis Costello and The Attractions is quite similar to the, ahem, start of Start by The Jam.

    Life got cold. Quite right; mind you, if there's anyone who's never gonna sue for plagiarism, it's Gallagher Sr...

    Greenday manage to rip 3 or 4 songs off.
    I am not sure the name of the song, its threally long one they had out.
    It contains music similar to : Brian Adams :Summer of 69, Johnny Cash: ring of fire and the most noticeable Black Sabbath: Children of the grave.
    I am sure there are more and this has probably been picked up on loads of times.

    Maroon 5: Sunday morning = Virtual Insanity Jamiroquai (piano at start)
    There is a girls aloud one which is doing my head in but I can't for the life of me remember it. (its not the wonderwall one)
