LOL! Where would we be without a bit of sibling rivalry.

I think the difference is that Ray and Dave Davies had real talent and could really DO it.

Oasis................complete shite IMHO.

And while we're on the subject of Oasis would we have Oasis if it wasn't for the Beatles' Revolver.....................I THINK NOT!!!!!

Happiness is a warm gun
I love Revolver.

I was in a now-defunct bar about 20 years ago (it had a poster of Zappa's shut up and play your guitar!) and the bar owner played "In My Life". He asked what album it was off of - I couldn't decide between Revolver and Rubber Soul - some poor schlep guessed Revolver, was incorrect, and I swooped in! I got a poster of the Shea Stadium concert from 1966 (in cardboard of course). I have tortured my Beatles-loving friends with it ever since.

I think Revolver is their finest album. It ranks in my Top 10 albums of all time.

Second best album by the Beatles? Rubber Soul no contest.

Here's one
Sting got away with one. On Dire Straits' "I Want My MTV," Mark Knofler got Sting to come sing back-up. Sting got in the "I Want My, I Want My, I Want My MTV" which happens to be identical to "Don't Stand So, Don't Stand So, Don't Stand So Close to Me." Sting wound up getting song-writing credits for it and Knofler couldn't do anything about it, so he changed the name to another lyric in the song - "Money for Nothing."

King of Pain(ful) repetition
Oh Sting... I used to know how many times he said "Sending out an SOS" on Message in a Bottle. I think it's 34 - I'm not going to listen to confirm!

Neither am I but when I first heard Message in a Bottle I was a tad out of it and the only reason it got my attention was that I thought he was singing "Massage in a Brothel".

This isn't really stealing a riff, but
on Michael Quatro's "In Collaboration with the Gods" you can hear snippets of "Stairway to Heaven" and another hit song (which escapes me now) in the background during some of the quieter passages.

yes vs rush
I don't really dig Rush much... but was listening to AM yesterday and heard The Fountain of Lambeth or something from 1975...
That seems to have a huge rip-off from Yes's 1974 Gates of Delirium! (or something from Relayer)
Of course... it makes the song worth listening to

Those two songs have as much in common as Ozric Tentacles and Ambrosia.

Let's see, Didacts & Narpets, I can see Anderson singing that da da da da da da da da "Listen". Yes would NEVER have a song sound like "No One At The Bridge" or "Bacchus Plateau".

Let me know what drug induced that comment and ship me some posthaste!

no... theres a passage of heavy guitar that is almost one on one for about 10 seconds... it appears a few times in the song.
I'll have to get hold of the mp3 so I can tell you the times...

then you say maybe shorter.....

Doesn't sound like a huge ripoff to me!

I still would like to hear it, could be cool.

as the (self-appointed) resident Yes expert, there is not a single not of similarity between Fountain and Gates. QED.

I'd call it a prominent rip-off rather than a huge one
(gotta cover my back here in case i'm wrong)
