"This is our house" aka "Lift you Up" from Gotthard

Anyone remember this hilarious episode: http://suite101.com/article/why-bart...illion-a176808

Seb, I've got news for you (and yes, I'm gonna bring him in the topic):

Jacko has also ripped off other artists (both in music and in dance). Unfortunately, eventhough I'm a fan, I can't present to you all the evidence simply 'cause I don't want to lol. Difference is he made more money than all those artists from what he did. Same goes for Jon & Richie.

Both Jacko and Jon have lied about being original. I'm sure other artists have claimed the same.

Big F'in Deal :mrgreen:

Music is an Evolution!

No one creates anything. Everyone takes from someone or something. They change it, make it cool and then onto the next person.

Bounce uses a different chord progression than IML. It's the same chords, but in a different order. Wouldn't quite work in terms of harmonies.

I think WGIGO also uses a different progression.

Also, Lift Up Up sounds quite a lot like one of the tracks towards the end of KTF... was it Little Bit Of Soul? Haven't listened to both in forever, but I think that was it.

Also, it seems Complicated's chorus was written by Max Martin first and foremost, since the "it's alright, it's okay"-part was reused by him for Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" ("it felt so right, it felt so wrong"-part - melodywise).

And I agree, I always felt BTBMB sounded quite a bit like The River in the chorus.

There's always Modern Talking.

In the words of Bono from U2, "Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief", Bon Jovi's influences are always present in their songs:))

Led Zeppelin - the wanton song

Riff copy & pasted.

FYI, I checked and Novocaine does indeed have the exact same chord progression as MCR's I'm Not Okay! ...different key, but same progression.

How about Put the Boy Back in Cowboy / Fat Bottom Girls?

A lot of the stuff mentioned so far is a pretty big stretch I will say, I always thought Thief of Hearts was a Tom Petty soundalike though
