Steal or borrow?

[Niels (Mod)]

Okay! I'll give it a shot, and try to knock Scott of the "first place":



Sometimes you can hear when musicians steal or borrow from each other. Do you have some examples? I'll start:

It has allways "annoyed" me a bit, that I think that Pete Townshend borrowed the guitar-intro to "Pinball Wizard" from this song, or did he? Was he first? I don't really know. They're both from 1969, but imo, they sound about the same.



Anyone else has some examples?

Honey Hush came out first, There's a video of it from 1973 on youtube I came across while trying to figure out how to copy and paste it. I would love for you to show me how to do that. Thanks for the offer.

Aerosmiths "The train kept a rollin'" was a cover of a Yardbirds-song from 1964 or something, so it must be The Yardbirds that came first??!!

Both actually came out in the 50's, I believe "Train.." beats it by a year or so.
