    Let's see:

    Breakerfall is the most Whoish thing PJ has done, I can't pinpopint one song it sounds like but it sounds like the riff was taken from Trick of the Light (which is admittedly is terrible song with one awesome riff).

    Breakerfall = I Can See For Miles

    I always thought this was a blatant bit of musical thievery! Well the opening part at least......

    The Coral - Dreaming of You
    Beatles - You Like Me Too Much

    Both have verses with Am and F in similar styles. Both have chorus of G and C (albeit the opposite ways round). It'd be blatent ripping off if it wasn't such a common progression.


    Radiohead - Wolf at the Door
    Beatles - Because

    Thought I'd say that before anyone else brings it up, although it's not really ripping off since Radiohead are pretty open about reusing Beatles riffs.

    no way

    Queen's goes:

    ding ding ding da da ding ding, ding ding ding ding da da ding ding

    and Ice's goes:

    ding ding ding da da ding ding, ding DING ding ding da da ding ding

    It's not the same.

    I love that you remember the EXACT thing that Vanilla Ice said about that, including the "it's not the same" thing. :)

    Errr, probably yeah. Didn't have the album at hand, checked track listings, knew it was one of the slower numbers. sorry.

    you know James Dean Bradfield actually covered Last Christmas on TFI Friday? I think the similarities on This is Yesterday were intentional.

    Didn't know that, no. But there's a cover of it on Lipstick Traces, actually it could be from TFI Friday.
    Saw them at Wembley Arena in 98, was in December and they ended with Last Christmas. When I pointed out the possible origin to my mate who was a major MSP fan he was "hmmm, huh, well....." , just didn't wanna accept it.

    Check this one:
    Timbaland '' the way i are'' and salt and pepa ''push it''
    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ivy1U4H2KVQ&feature=related

    everyone knows that the melody to Way I Are is blatant Push-It. the hip hop it's totally fake.....

    WIKIPEDIA.ORG writes:
    Often "samples" consist of one part of a song, such as a break, used in another, for instance the use of the drum introduction from Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" in songs by the Beastie Boys, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mike Oldfield, Rob Dougan and Erasure, and the guitar riffs from Foreigner's "Hot Blooded" in Tone-Loc's "Funky Cold Medina".

    In 2005, music blog Library of Vinyl Experience compiled sample frequency data obtained from the sample database The Sample FAQ. The goal was to determine what year was “The Funkiest Year Ever” by counting the number of times samples from a particular year were used in hip hop songs. The bulk of the samples used in hip hop were from the years 1970-1975, the most being 872 different songs from 1973, making it “The Funkiest Year Ever”. Some of 1973s most sampled songs include: The Incredible Bongo Band’s “Apache”, which was sampled 45 times, Barry White’s “I’m Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Babe”, which was sampled 33 times, Kool and the Gang’s “Jungle Boogie”, which was sampled 45 times, and The Honey Drippers' “Impeach the President”, which was sampled 115 times.[1]

    hadn't thought of that, you have to admit the lead guitar sounds like the lead bass from Trick of the Light.

    That said, I think you were going for a Blues Brothers 'Everybody Needs Somebody' comparison.

    Just heard "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock, for the first time.

    Sounds just like "Werewolves of London."

    I know there's someone here who loves Kid Rock :p but, c'mon, it's a blatant rip-off!

    chorus of "pearl jam - sad" always reminded me of "the cure - love song"

    edit:
    verses of Alice in Chains - Hate to Feel and led zeppelin - dazed and confused
    chorus of alter bridge - down to my last and collective soul - world i know
    intro deftones - be quiet and drive and chevelle - send the pain below

    Bob dylan- "you're gonna make me lonesome, when you go" and "Shelter from the storm sound almost identical, if they already don't. Not sure if this counts because Dylan wrote both tracks, but the sound the exact same with dofferent lyrics.

    ZZ top- "Tush" and Tom Petty's " Saving grace" sound similar riff wise.

    I'm pretty sure zz top ripped off that riff too though, I forget which artist though.
