Not too sure whether this hits the rip-off category, but George Michael's 'Faith' could not have existed if it hadn't been for The Cure's 'Close To Me'

And George Michael's "Faith" > Primal Scream's "Movin' On Up"?

I was following Dr.C's symbol formulation there, not the one in the original question. Sorry.

dodgy's "good enough" as informed by "wake me up before you gogo" by "yer wham"

Chrissy Hynde also said that "My City Was Gone" was a rework/riffage of "The Adultress" (It's hard to hear because of that heavy bassline that was added.) Also, "Don't Get Me Wrong" is an unconscious ripoff of the four British Airways tones heard before announcements.

..And "We Love Cheesy Poofs" is the same tune as the Morning Edition theme.

I don't know which came first - A Public Execution (Mouse) -or- Like a Rolling Stone

Also - Jean Genie (Bowie) < I'm a Man (Diddley) < Oh Yeah (Shadows of Knight) bridge in "The Adversary" (Crime And The City Solution) < Knockin on Heaven's Door (Dylan)

Stones, 'Satisfaction' --> LLoyd Cole, 'Mercy // Killing'.

Dylan, 'Like A Rolling Stone' + 'I Threw It All Away' --> Lloyd Cole, 'Waterline'.

LLoyd Cole, 'Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken?' + S&G, 'America' --> Lloyd Cole, 'Unhappy Song'.

Radiohead fans will ove this one:

"Creep" - derived from "The Air That I Breathe", the Hollies.

Time flows backwards in the pinefox house. This explains everything.
