"I swear I've heard that before"...

Songs or parts of songs that sound like they've been ripped off!!

"Are you gonna be my girl" by Jet is tons like "Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop.

And I can't help but thinkin of Weezer's "Hash Pipe" when I hear the beginning of "Whatchu Waitin' For" by Gwen Stefani. WT...?

shame...

Not a rip-off as such, but the opening riff in RATM's ''Wake Up'' reminds me so much of ''Kashmir''.

Hard Rock Hallelujah - Lordi
Poison - Alice Cooper.

Anything by Theory Of A Deadman.

Dani California and Tom Petty's Last Dance with Mary-Jane

Intentional, I believe.

You mean Nickleback...

...actually, no that's right...Theory of a Deadman. No wait a minute...

One of the riffs in Hinders Homecoming Queen sounds exactly the same as the one in Sweet Child O' Mine.

P.S. Shutup EPIIIBITES.

Sum 41's "The Bitter End" is a blatant rip off of Metallica's "Battery"

There's a bit on the new Strokes album that sounds like Barry Manilow.

I can't remember which song, and I can't be bothered to check.

Gloria by Laura Brannigan is def ripped by PULP for Disco2000

Your Woman by White Town kicks off with the IMPERIAL MARCH riff from the ESB soundtrack
theres an intro to a Muse track that sounds a lot like a Britney OI OI OI!! Spears track that im glad i dont know the name of
a lot of the stuff on IS THIS IT by THE STOKES sounds like bits of THE FALL and play any Oasis track and its name that tune time

smells like teen spirit...more than a feeling...teehee

on the subject of Nirvana
COME AS YOU ARE are was ripped from Killing Jokes EIGHTIES

"The End" by My Chemical Romance is the most shameful "nod" to a band I've ever heard....(that band being Pink Floyd...and their song "In the Flesh)"

If this doesn't make you gringe, I don't what can...

It's ok to tip the hat...but don't tip it for the whole freakin' song!

Considering they are the total opposite of a mega group like Pink Floyd, you'd think they'd have enough of a mind to do it tastefully...Clowns!

This sounds a little like something I've heard before:

theres that one slayer riff in a song by public enemy..

"She Watch Channel Zero", but that's just a riff. Hell, Lil Jon used a Slayer riff for as a loop for "Stop ****in' Wit Me."

If someone can look me straight in the face and tell me that the intro of Babies by Pulp isn't the intro of Dreams Never End by New Order, they might want to consider a political career.

Damn, stole my answer.

The intros of "Can't Stop" by RHCP and "Eternal life" by Jeff Buckley.

SOAD's 'Revenga' has a riff which sounds alot like one in Emperor's 'I Am the Black Wizards', it's in a different key though.
