The Chiffons sued George Harrison for plagiarism over The Pirate Song.

Blondie - I Am Always Touched by Your Presence, Dear

[ZonkoVille77]

Let's get it on by Marvin Gaye has defo been robbed by Ed Sheeran's Thinking out loud

Cannot for the life of me hear any resemblance between Where the Streets Have No Name by U2 and that Temper Trap tune. 

 

Its a Sin by The Pet Shop Boys is a blatant rip off of Wild World by Cat Stevens though.

 

Shakermaker by Oasis and I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.

[Teflon Don]

Time Is Tight - Booker T. & The M.G.'s

 

 

Temptation - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

 

 

 

[King Emlyn]

Pet shop boys "It's a sin" sounds like Cat Stevens "wild world" Tears for fears also borrowed a fair bit of Cats "Matthew and Son" for "Mad world"

 

EDIT. Wow, genuinely hadn't seen Longos' post. Great minds!

Temptation - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

 

 

to be fair, they've admitted this was a blatant rip off  - what an album Get Happy is though.  In fact, that's going on right now!

[Kant]

Pretty sure this one was a lawsuit too.

 

Connection by Elastica sounds like Three Girl Rhumba by Wire

Ah yes, the ever-original Elastica.

 

 

[Pureblood]

Elastica was derivative of everyone but they did it quite well.

 

I think a lot of the time these bands are paying homage to the bands they loved when they were growing up like with Pavement/The Fall.

Noel Gallagher once argued that it was wrong to accuse Oasis of ripping off The Beatles, because only one or two songs were nicked from The Beatles, the rest were Slade.

[redheart]

Yep Oasis rampantly ripped off Slade and Noel rightly stated that How Does It Feel? Is one of the best songs ever produced.

 

 

As for who oasis ripped off....apologies I dont know how to embed

Oh Trumo, you've betrayed one of the secrets of the Illuminati!

Someone told me the other day Four Non Blondes "Whats going on" sounds like "Don't worry be happy", I never noticed the similarities before.

Knockin' on Heaven's Door

Told you.

 

[Trumo]

'Ordinary Man' by Triumph is VERY similar to 'Behind Blue Eyes' by The Who. Both also have a thrashy middle before returning to the slow burn.

Last Nite by The Strokes sounds like American Girl by Tom Petty.
