Could Ten Years After's Hard Monkeys be the father of Cheap Trick's Downed?

Not sure why the vids failed to show up, so I edit:Yoko Ono's "Mrs. Lennon" & Big Star's "Holocaust"http://youtu.be/iinhQS7Soyohttp://youtu.be/vsQ977u8Wuk

phpBB [media][FFR: Time Zone's "World Destruction," starting at 1:16]phpBB [media][FFR: A Minor Forest's "Look at that car, it's full of balloons," starting at 5:00]I've been listening to this AMF song since the album came out and I recognized the connection to another song immediately but until today could not name that other song. So I've been trying to figure this out for sixteen years. Crossing that off my bucket list.

i really like the song "Street Hassle" by Lou Reed......... and I think that the song "Ode to Street Hassle" by Spacemen 3 obviously ripped it off

'Julie and Candy' by Boards of Canada is too similar to that Massive Attack song 'Teardrop'

There was a Steely Dan one on the previous page that made me think of this...has this already been posted? (Riff is at very top of both tracks)

Exactly.The Bob: Did you have that song in mind when you wrote "Holocaust"?CHILTON: I don't know. I think that it was one of those instances of plagarism that you sort of are aware of somewhere in your mind, but not...I think that, at the time I was doing the tune, I didn't realize that I was copying it.

Pete Townshend built his solo career off of a Subway Sect song. Not sure if that one's common knowledge or not.phpBB [media]phpBB [media]

I think Jack White might've copped a riff from the Who's Heaven and Hellfor the Stripes' Jimmy The Exploder. Who knows??Also, Wolfmother copped a tonne o' riffs from Uriah Heep back when they was' a power trio.
