The very first time I hear a full Coldplay album was about 2003 or 2004 at my sister's house while we're having dinner and I was impressed, yes they hit me and hit me hard with the A Rush Blood To The Head.
A few years later I was in love with several of their songs including Talk. The time pass and I listen to the German band Kraftwerk and Computer Love and take me a time to realize that They were taking advantage of the Coldplay song Talk (2005) and think "they are using a successful song to sale their music" DEAD WRONG!!!
What a surprise Krafwek it's a real old band in spite of their years their sound it's pretty actual, Computer Love was released in 1981 Chirs Martin was 4 years old.
So I learn my lesson, first check and then "TALK"

If you have some story kind like this I would love to know.
Wish you only the very best!!!
Justin Bieber is reportedly being sued by Casey Dienel - aka White Hinterland - for their hit song 'Sorry'.
She said the track is too similar to 'Ring The Bell' from her 2014 album Baby.
The 31-year-old American singer has accused Bieber of ripping off the "unique characteristics of the female vocal".
What do you think?

Courts found that two tracks on II, Led Zeppelin's sophomore album, owed crushing debts to Chicago blues classics by Willie Dixon. Album opener "Whole Lotta Love" copped lyrics from the 1962 Dixon-penned Muddy Waters song "You Need Love." The source material for Zep's "Bring It On Home" is even more apparent. Page borrowed the intro and outro of Sonny Boy Williamson's 1966 original, intending it as a deliberate homage to the blues great; Dixon didn't see it that way and sued the band for copyright infringement in 1972. He took them to court again in 1985 over writing credits on "Whole Lotta Love," which by then had become a classic-rock staple.

@rossi1911 Thank, already add it!!!
Rucker hasn’t exactly been original in his country music career. He rode a lifeless cover of Old Crow Medicine Show’s “Wagon Wheel” to the top of the charts in 2012. In 2010, he called his second country album Charleston, SC 1966, taking inspiration from Radney Foster’s Del Rio, TX 1959. He released this rip off of Jimmy Buffett’s “Lucky Stars” prior to that. Both songs talk about what they don’t have, but the singers conclude that they don’t need more than what they already do. Consider the choruses:
spotify:track:1DxOCihdEFDqAdJMVEQ6ph:small
“Lucky Stars”: I got a roof over my head/someone to love me and a four-poster bed/and I can play this here guitar/I’m gonna thank my lucky stars

“Alright”: Cause I got a roof over my head/the woman I love laying in my bed/and it’s alright, alright
In early 2012, Jason Isbell took to social media and straight up called out Dierks Bentley for ripping off his song. Isbell also called Bentley a “douchebag.” Class aside, it’s hard to disagree the two songs sound very similar.

It takes a full 10 seconds of “Take it Easy, Mama” to realize the song is not, in fact, Jet’s “Are You Gonna Be My Girl.” Critically-acclaimed Bingham won the American Music Awards’ Artist of the Year in 2010, but this song isn’t teeming with originality.
Then again, Jet themselves owe a lot of credit for their sound to their forbears. The roots of this song can probably be traced back to AC/DC.

Well this one has a happy ending....Lambert claims the similarities were unintentional, and she even went as far as retroactively giving Earle a writing credit for “Kerosene.”

Kid Rock managed to rip off not just one, but two songs to make his first top 10 country single. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out he pretty much just mashed up these two songs and laid some inane lyrics over the top. We’re sure Warren Zevon is rolling over in his grave.

Everyone from Lana Del Ray and Lorde to Rihanna and Pink have accused Taylor Swift of ripping off their music. It’s pretty clear Swift’s “You Belong With Me” was heavily influenced by Saving Jane’s “Girl Next Door.” Consider the choruses:

“Girl Next Door”: She wears high heels, I wear sneakers/She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers

Listen to the opening riff of their 1974 hit, "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" back-to-back with the intro to Horace Silver's 1965 number, "Song for My Father," and you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the two. But Silver didn't sue the Dan.

This one comes front The Guardian:
Calvin Harris claiming that the R&B star ripped off his No 1 single, I'm Not Alone. The Scottish musician said he "choked on [his] cornflakes" when Brown's new single, Yeah 3x, came on the radio while he was eating breakfast.
"Stealing is still stealing, doesn't matter who you are," Harris wrote on Twitter. "[Just] because Chris Brown is an international celebrity doesn't make it OK to rip.

Wow, this thread is so surprising! Love it 🙂 I didn't know so many songs have common or "unusual" links, I'm listening to If I could fly and the comparison to Viva la Vida, as you said @BenitoKCM is there, wow.

Thanks @KatesHere When I started this thread didn’t imagen either but it’s kind of surprising and in some cases painful don’t you think?

I wouldn't say painful @Jpgchief, maybe more surprising. In some cases, having an alternative "version" melody seems like two completely different pieces of music. It's interesting to see some are actually plagiarized and others just a creative license or loan or whatever it is called in the music industry (sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable on that)...
Still, planning to keep an eye on for updates here, it has me intrigued!

Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams also has similar chord progression like Oasis' Wonderwall. Here's a video on Youtube:
