man, if you dig deep enough everyone is ripping off everyone the betales ripped off chuck berry, radiohead ripped off the Beatles, coldplay ripped off radiohead.

Not really. Coldplay would have less opportunity because it's likely they'd never heard the song before.
Also, what is the similarity? Not hearing it.
The entirety of rap is based on ripping off other musicians.

1) Both songs are in different keys.
2) The Radiohead song is a I-VII-VIIb-V progression while the Coldplay song is I-V-IV progression. Completely different.
The only similarity is that the tempo is similar, the guitar chords are strummed in a similar rhythm in a clean tone and the vocals begin on the 5th of their root note. But while the melody of the Radiohead song stays on that 5th, the Coldplay melody soon drifts away as the progression continues.
That's not plagorism or a "rip-off". Especially knowing, as mentioned before, it's unlikely that Coldplay even heard Lift before.

Tom didnt sue because that song is a complete rippoff of an instrumental track from Teenage Fanclub (its on the album Thirteen, cant remember the name)
There was this weird period during the 90s when aging rockers ripped off indie bands all the time

in a pop song with a super common progression how are the vocal melody/phrasing/syncopation not important?
>>65758879
the start men, i mean the noise, the sound, the style, not the melody
>>65753545
well it's a simple I-IV
phrasing of third and fifth together and later root is similar tho
>>65758956
mean to reply to>>65758887
So many of these are just similar chord progressions with maybe a two or three notes in the melody doing the same thing during a chord change.
>>65758928
>in a pop song with a super common progression how are the vocal melody/phrasing/syncopation not important?
Because what legally constitutes a song composition is the combination of lyrics, melody and chord sequence.
Transcribe both songs to the same key. Then see if not only are the rhythms the same, but also the individual notes and lyrics.
>>65758980
Not really.
>>65758879
and a lot of them are from the same album, they are not even trying
>>65759007
I don't think you understand what punk rock is.

The only thing these songs have in common is the rhythm and occasionally a couple notes after the third repetition overlap.

No it wasnt, there's like a year gap between the two, and the first edition of that teenage fanclub album had a reprise of that song that replaced the vocals with a harmonica. I have the cd in front of me to confirm.
And no, I have better things to do than rip and upload it to prove an someone wrobg in the internet
