I'm going to start with The Verve - Lucky Man and Bob Dylan - Knockin' on Heavens Door. Exactly the same!

    The chorus of "Feel Good Inc" by Gorillaz has the exact same melody as the verse to "Staring At The Sun" by U2. Doesn't anyone else hear this?

    Creedence-Run Through the Jungle >John Fogerty-Old Man Down the Road

    I think thats the right Creedence song. The Creedence record company actually sued John Fogerty for stealin his own song.

    Those are straight samples and the original artists both ended up making good money off of the new songs. Rap has too many songs like that to count, the entire genre is based on sampling. I think the original purpose was songs that sound very strangely firmilar to something else, but don't come out and acknowledge they stole from somebody.

    I thought of another one: "Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla and "Cast No Shadow" by Oasis. I always thought the choruses were very similar.

    have not notice that one, but now, man, the melody sound way too familiar.

    the offspring rip off the offspring on every album;)

    Oasis a lot of there songs seem to have a Beatles riff in them somewhere especially that All Around The World and Champagne Supernova, blatant plaguerism.

    Well it's not a real rip off but:

    One song on "And the circus leaves town" by Kyuss I think it is El rodeo, sounds a bit like when Eddie goes tu du du du tu du du in Black. I don't know if this is any clear at all, but anyway what Ed does with his voice is done by guitar in this song.
