Freedom by Wham which closely resembles the melody to Fade Away. Don't

Stay Young....the verses are almost identical at the beginning ("One way out is
all your ever gonna get... and "Poor old grannie..." etc.). Plus, musically,
the chords are really close. Also, its the Faces, not just Rod the Bod by
himself.

Walk on Gilded splinters was the poem, not the Paul Weller track (which is a
cover), and other mistakes ... anyway

the beta band song in question is 'dry the rain'
the riff from 'morning glory' is remarkably similar to rem's 'the one i
love'

I've always disagreed with this overstated notion, as far as their rip-offs
go this one is very minor and only matches up to a small portion in the
beginning of the verses.

Hmm, might be a few similarities, but i don't think they're that alike...
> Flying (Beatles) - Shakermaker
Shakermaker's not a ripoff of any Beatles song, only of I'd Like To Teach
The World To Sing, as those songs are 100% alike....

Going Nowhere- rips off "Rocket Man" by Elton John
Where Did It All Go Wrong- part of chorus is form PWs "Sunflower"
GLIO- rips off Johnny Jenkins' version of "I Wlak On Gilded
Splinters" which was originally written/perf. by Dr. John.
Beck sampled (though did not credit, to my knowledge) the song
for "Loser" which is of course the blueprint for most of the
Beta shtick- they took it for "Dry The Rain." The poem is an
oldy, and i forget what it's called. of a religious nature, it
was adapted by The Heptones for "Book Of Rules" (mentioned in
poem) and that's really where noel took the lyrics from. NME
erroniously reported that it was form a Booby & The Midnights
(Grateful Dead off-shoot) album where they covered the song.
Who Feels Love?- the beginning is a complete copy of TSRs "Ten
Story Love Song."
Digusy's Diner- not many people have mentioned this, but it
doesn't exactly "rip off" but strongly resembles "Little Miss
Queen Of Darkness" by the Kinks.
She's Electric- verse/chorus change (or maybe verse/bridge or
something) is taken from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
Roll It Over- "doesn't make it alright" is from "and you know
that it's right" from "Something In The Air" by Thunderclap
Newman.
there are more. where is this list archived (or is it)?? thanks.

myself,I can almost bet he couldn't be arsed!
I think because he admits to pinching songs, poeple let their imaginations run
rapid.

you really any kind of fan if all you have time to do is listen to
similarities in songs? Before you call me stupid for not realising that
some of the melodies or guitar chords were "ripped off" I know that Noel
has been at times brazen about doing it. It is going a bit to far
though to say that Champagne Supernova or Morining Glory strike any
resemblance to any other song. Many anti Oasis columnists accused Noel
and the rest of the band of being a "Beatles Cover Band' at first, and
as far as I'm concerned, if you are going to spend time disecting songs
and comparing them, then you are in the same class as any of the said
columnists are.
scott...@webtv.net
likened the album as a very Pink Floyd-ish. NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'M
NOT SAYING A PINK FLOYD "RIP OFF", but it is reminiscient of the Dark
Side of the Moon album, with the "big" sound that the back up singers
give it.
scott...@webtv.net
whoever it was that likened it to "Rocket Man" first needs to get his
hearing checked, doesn't know his or her music, or needs not call him or
herself an Oasis fan!
Alan Cooper
nearly, dare I say it, constructive posts in this thread
Secondly - If you disect any song like that and compare it to every other
half way decent (not saying I like Elton John here, just some people do, so
it has to be classed as decent music) music, then your gonna find something
that sounds similar.
And whats so bad about it anyway - the beatles ripped off Buddy Holly and
blues stuff from the 50's, and the stones went round the black musicians
who at the time no-one white listened to, and ripped them off rotten

Maybe not, but he'll make sure they'll survive,
no doubt 'bout that!! And hopefully win the CL
within the next 5 years :)
