Coldplay - Viva La Vida (2008)

and

Enanitos Verdes - Frances Limón (2002)

The melody is just the same.

Joe Satriani also has a track that is somewhat similar, but not as atonishing as Frances Limon-Viva la Vida. The track is Learning To Fly (2004)

I never would have noticed that and I listen to both too! Great find.

It was stated by Yorke that he was very much into The Beatles at the time of making Hail to the Theif.

Not musical plagiarism, but Spoon drops a Stooges/Iggy Pop reference every album...

Faust, "Krautrock"

Spacemen 3, "Revolution"

That's what I call plagiarism 😄 Only Spacemen 3 can't hold it for 12 minutes like Faust can.

Start with these

1 Selected Ambient Works 85-92
2 I Care Because You Do
3 26 Mixes For Cash
4 Richard D James Album
5 Selected Ambient Works Volume 2
6 Chosen Lords
7 Windowlicker EP
8 Surfing On Sine Waves - Polygon Window
9 Come To Daddy (mini album)
10 Hangable Autobulb (mini album)

Great rundown, personally I've found that I've listened to Selected Ambient Works Vol 2 the most...top 13 most played on my Itunes are all from that album, but it's probably not the best starting point. I would completely agree with the list if Hangable Autobulb and RDJ album were switched, Laughable Butane Bob may be my favorite RDJ track. I would also include Classics on the list of must own. I'm not sure if its a collection or what, but it's the only place I have Digeridoo on, and damn that track is epic...other great RDJ albums by Mike and Rich and The Tuss

And, didn't Murmer come out before any MSP stuff, so the MSP copied R.E.M.?

I'm pretty sure an Outlaw was being facetious.

Anyway:

Stolen Riff: Talking Heads "I'm Not in Love"-- Minutemen "Nothing Indeed"

Drum Intros: Black Flag: "Three Nights" & "Scream" Black Sabbath "Iron Man" just keeping time with the bass, but it was so iconic of BS

Pretty Similar to me: Velvet Underground "Murder Mystery" -- Gang of Four "Anthrax"

intro to Interpol's "Say Hello to the Angels" sounds like a riff the Pixies forgot to record, mostly like "Break My Body"

The Modern Lovers "Roadrunner"-- Velvet Underground "Sister Ray" (other way around)

Sigur Ros' Agaetis Byrjun reminds me of Loveless every time

There was http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=542 but it got derailed. Anyway, the similarities between these songs have always been striking. I'm surprised I haven't really heard anyone mention it.

And I think the melody of the verses are similar in here. PJ Harvey seems to wear her influences on her sleeves.

I can hear the influence Aphex Twin and others have had on Radiohead and especially when you listen to Thom Yorke's solo album. On Aphex Twin, any album of theirs you would recommend?

My apologies if the topic exists somewhere else (I couldn't find it). I suggest we post here the songs that seem to us to bear more than just a passing resemblance... from obvious inspiration to plagiarism, through pure chance maybe ?

For instance :
http://www.jango.com/music/Madder+Rose?l=0
(click on "Beautiful John" in the playlist)

and this :

Am I the only one to think there is a little bit more than a slight sound-a-like atmosphere ?
