Plant would have gone up the wall if he'd lost, a well known tight ass, drinks in a pub in Bewdley in the Midlands, takes exactly the right money out for 4 pints.

Don’t forget I know who you are. Don’t diss my friend and stick to ska crap.

There will always be accusations of plagiarism, after all there are only so many combinations. 95% of the best pop songs trace back in part to the classics anyway.

What's especially sad about this is that the bloke from the band Spirit who wrote the song didn't sue in his lifetime, which suggests he wasn't bothered. Then he dies in 1997 and some years later, a trustee of his estate sees dollar signs and launches the legal action. I hope his legal costs take a big chunk of the estate out of his greedy hands.
You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help.

It's not as if there are thousands of chords. There has to be inevitability of familiarity/coincidence where something sounds similar without copyright infringement intent....No finer example than the descending introductory chord arrangement of The Jam "In the city" and Sex Pistols "Holidays in the sun".

Yeah, I think definitely a case of months and not years i.e. 1977. I think The Jam got in first!
Quote : "The song's descending opening bassline re-appeared a few months later on the Sex Pistols' single "Holidays in The Sun." Weller subsequently had a scrap with Pistols bassist Sid Vicious in the Speakeasy Club over the pilfering of the riff."
