2nd song is such a blatant rip-off of 0:48 onwards in the 1st song.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Probably a well known one, but heard this during the nightclub scene while watching Biutiful.

Fantastic identification Ship.

I wonder what song they're gonna sample next.

All Drum and Bass songs sound similar to one another.

Thanks for introducing me to a fantastic song. ..

If anything it more resembles Tarantula than Watercolour.

funnily enough thats where the coldpay guy heard it as well.

that first song is itself actually based on a different song, the writers of which are given credit by coldplay.

 

[King_Tredrea]

silverchair - suicidal dream

alice in chains - bleed the freak

a horrendous rip off. the chair clearly would have been listening to them in the early 90's so it makes perfect sense

 

[Pessimistic]

If you told me Katy Perry had used the same production as Coldplay for "Firework" I'd not be surprised

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

I dunno the name of the song nor artist, but there's a track I heard on undergraduate radio (JJJ) with an opening riff which sounded eerily like that from Supergrass' "pumpin' on the stereo"

Can anyone fill me in?

Some probably already covered in this thread, although not likely #2, which was pretty surprising to me.
Always debatable though about what genuinely constitutes 'theft' and what can be acceptable similarity.

 

[Marlowe]

Maybe only so very slightly

[RedmanWasHere]

Five For Fighting - Superman (It's Not Easy) and Bruno Mars feat Bad Meets Evil - Lighters.
The Kinks - Picture Book vs Isley Brothers - Twist and Shout.
TaTu - All The Things She Said vs Katy Perry - E.T. (Futuristic Lover.)
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me vs Queen - We Will Rock You.
The opening of the GWS club song vs Michael Buble - Sway.

 

[Jan Juc]

The start of FNM's 'Midlife Crisis' versus the start of Simon & Garfunkel's 'Cecilia'.

 

[Golding]

Listening to my iPod at work and "My Happiness" by Powderfinger came on whilst on shuffle.

The start of that where the acoustic guitar plays in the background sounds pretty similar to Wonderwall?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Delta Goodrem - Dancing With a Broken Heart vs Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Just heard the new Rihanna song and thought of this thread.





And this Flume guy, listening to him I can't help but think of Nosaj Thing's album from back in 2009....

 

[Silent Alarm]

Delta Goodrem - Dancing With a Broken Heart vs Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill.

Didn't she also completely rip off Wake Up by Arcade Fire?

 

[policegetthatman]

every single coldplay song

[Zuma]

I have found some simularities in the rhythms of Neil Diamond's Crunchy Granola Suite and Stephen Stills' Love The One Your With

 

[Silent Alarm]

Just Like Heaven, rightfully, has many imitations.


I love the Pains, but they're pretty derivative. Higher than the Stars is amazing.


Then there's this live song of theirs...

Rikki Lee Drama Queen ripping off Beyonce

 

[ioppolo]

I actually thought the Ricki Lee song was Beyonce
