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"

Just two months latter, Sara Bareilles had a rather positive reaction upon realizing her song was copied. "I mean, I can't say that I think they don't sound similar," she said in a CBS Sunday Morning interview in 2014. "At the end of the day, it was really good for my song. Thank you, Katy Perry for that!"
Some of these findings are really good, but some are just bad. A lot of songs have the same cord progressions because they're very basic and common. I don't think plagiarism was the intent on some of these.
Here's mine:

I don't know if Kurt's intent was to use the same riff, but he made songs by cutting together a bunch of other songs and playing what it sounded like to him. So there's a good chance that "Eighties" played a big part in creating "Come As You Are".
Cobain also has said he's tried to rip off his favorite bands, like The Pixies, because he saw the success they were having.
He also said that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was ripping off Boston's "More Than a Feeling". Its harder to hear the similarities in those songs than it is in "Eighties" and "Come As You Are".
Nirvana was pretty well known for the many covers of their favorite bands they have done. Though plagiarism isn't the intent, I think its hard for musicians to make music without sonic similarities. There's just too much influence around all the time!
What about this one?
Love itโฆCCR claimed that Fogerty was plagiarizing toโฆ..John Fogerty LOL

This one while Fogerty was part of CCR and them he was on his own way as a solo and he creats this, and both songs really sound pretty familiar...I don't know what you think but to me it's almost funny.

I can Imagen the Gallagher brothers while theyโre a pair of toddlers in the early 70โs listen to the radio or an album from their parents (could be the Australian pop group the New Seekers โmaybeโ LOL) or a little later listen to the worldwide ad campaign from Coca-Cola

What do you think?

At the end everything was fixed in this way: "Oasis reportedly settled with the New Seekers for $500,000. Noel Gallagher didnโt seem too phased by it, incorporating lines from both the Coca-Cola and New Seekersโ version in a live performance of "Shakermaker" and ending the song with, "Now we all drink Pepsi."
I can use almost the whole same lines that the Gallagher brothers and only change the names (Avril Lavigne and The Rubbinoos on instead the Australian group), donโt you think.

10 Famous Songs That Were Sued For Plagiarism
"The Stones, like Zeppelin and The Beatles, were unafraid to lift blues riffs, so itโs easy to have a little sympathy with Richard Ashcroft of The Verve, who fell foul of Jagger and coโs legal might. "
spotify:track:2h0AheQNR5WUgpFBBV8WeC:small
"There is no denying, however, the similarities between The Verveโs Bittersweet Symphony and Andrew Loog Oldhamโs gorgeous orchestral version of The Last Time. The band actually thought they had cleared the sample, but hadnโt. The judge came down hard, giving Jagger and Keith Richards songwriting credits โ and all royalties."

Over to Pete Townshend who, asked about One Directionโs Best Song Ever, whose opening bars were similar to the Whoโs Baba OโRiley, released a statement saying: โThe chords I used and the chords they used are the same three chords weโve all been using in basic pop music since Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry made it clear that fancy chords donโt mean great music โ not always. Iโm still writing songs that sound like Baba OโRiley โ or Iโm trying to.โ

In the case Sheeranโs Photograph, thereโs a 16-bar sequence where the majority of pitches, the majority of rhythmic placements and almost all the harmonic context is the same as the equivalent section of Amazing โ there are 39 identical notes. The chance of that happening coincidentally and independently is almost zero. If I hear two songs where melodies are identical in pitch and rhythmic placement, over a few bars of music, my initial reaction is that itโs pretty likely there will be some element of copying. Whether thatโs plagiarism becomes a legal question.โ

One Direction spent their entire musical career borrowing melodies from classic rock and pop artists. What makes this particular single special, however, was that it was heavily compared to the sound of a contemporary artistโ and one Styles used to dateโ Taylor Swift. โPerfect,โ which was released as a single off the bandโs 2015 album Made In The A.M., received backlash almost immediately for its similarity to T. Swiftโs song โStyle.โ

The classic punk outfit never brought charges against One Direction, and the songโs co-writer, Julian Bunetta said that โat the end of the day, the lyric and the melody have nothing to do with any other song that I have ever heard.โ Despite this, Styles did fess up to their influences, telling BBC Newsbeat that they did in fact copy the iconic riff from โShould I Stay or Should I Go,โ saying that it was โkind of on purpose.โ The 1D song would go on to peak at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.

After the positive reception to Stylesโ debut single โSign of the Times,โ fans were eager to hear what the newly solo artist had in store. Unfortunately, the live performance of โEver Since New Yorkโ on Saturday Night Live drew attention not for its musical quality, but for the similarities it had to the 1971 Badfinger song โBaby Blue.โ According to The Sun, โEver Since New Yorkโ has an almost identical arrangement to โBaby Blue,โ and Twitter wasted little time in taking Styles to task over it.

Styles currently faces the wrath of the internet due to his latest single, titled โSweet Creature.โ While the song, like those before it, were received warmly by the fans, it didnโt take long before accusations of plagiarism appeared yet again. This time, itโs in reference to the greatest rock and roll band of all time: The Beatles. The Evening Standard reports that Styles used a nearly identical guitar riff to that of the The Beatlesโ 1968 classic โBlackbird.โ

Thereโs no arguing here; โSurfinโ USAโ is the same song as โSweet Little Sixteenโ, alright. But The Beach Boys arenโt the only ones to blame. Too many artists have ripped off Chuck Berry over the years, especially his melody for โJohnny B. Goodeโ, which wouldnโt you know it actually dates back to 1946 with Louis Jordanโs โAinโt That Just Like a Womanโ. Is there nothing original in music? At least The Beach Boys fessed up, giving Berry songwriting credits on every release of โSurfinโ USAโ post-1966. Years later, Berry even told the late Carl Wilson he loved their song. Isnโt that nice? โMichael Roffman
