@jack
Wow have you even listened to the songs before? The melody in the verse is basically identical to lady madonna. Yes the melody, no one is accusing them of plaigiarism based purely on a chord progression, that would be ridiculous.

Not saying you need to like them just understand their influence.

Honestly, I dont like either band. My best friends dad is the
2nd largest beatles collector in the world. I know how much they influenced. I may like beatles influenced bands but i still greatly dislike the beatles. Your linear thinking of “you must like one to like the other” is incorrect, hon.

you cant copyright a chord progression, you can can only copyright a melody, so its in no way plagiarism, because the melodies are completely different, so much so that ive never thought to compare them because its such a simple two chord progression in otherwise complex songs (or at least complex in the beatles case). i would definitely not say what i got sounds like lady madonna…
