Ferry credits Harrison with writing the song. I would say Canned Heat are more the plagiarists here. It's they who have changed Harrison's original, Ferry merely covers it.

Here's my one

This is probably the most obvious one because of the court case.

I know they hung about together for years, but this is exact same tune.

Play them both at the same time it's quite freaky.

 

David Bowie is the worst culprit for stealing other people's music and fashion.

Nothing original about him whatsoever.

 

Bowie's Berlin years in one track.

Im a bit of a completist where both neil young and stephen stills are concerned, they have quite a few similar tunes shared between them .... and PS ; with the canned heat/brian ferry thing .... like a man with an orthopaedic shoe ... I stand corrected

 

Is that The Seekers " the carnival is over " ?

 

This ones almost blasphemous.

Marc Bolan was a **** ; had to be said

 

I know they already got sued for this, but Bernard and the guys should sue the lot of them. They could reopen the Hacienda and Hooky could get Gwyneth Paltrow mad with it and then he, Robert Downey Jr and Mrs Merton could have some sort of mad Eccy orgy with her.

What was the coldplay one that steals a vast chunk of a kraftwerk song ? Im assuming they paid for that too ?

 

don't know man. They are elevator music bastards. I can imagine them on one of these 70's top of the pops records in a supermarket if you know what I mean.
