This from 1:40 in. Stairway anyone...? Dates from 3-4 years earlier and they toured this song whilst on the same bill...

Still get confused by the intros to Creep by Radiohead and The Air That I Breath by The Hollies.

If you're at a gig and hear a random band launch into one of these two, it's a genuine fifty-fifty chance which way it's going to go.

Elastica - Connection was a pretty blatent rip off of Three Girl Rhumba by Wire (although i prefer the Elastica song than the Wire one!)

Tears dry on their own by ronson/winehouse is Ain't mountain high enough by Marvin Gaye, to the point where they must have taken the vocal off the original and jammed the new one on top

Stairway is a popular chord progression to rip off, although I've heard it said that Dolly is a pretty big Led Zep fan, so that makes it an homage, right?
