R.E.M. vs. Cheap Trick

Submitted by Scott

Maybe there’s a reason why R.E.M. didn’t release “All the Right Friends” until 1993, 10 years after it was recorded. Check out Cheap Trick’s 1979 rocker “Way of the World”.

    Good catch- I hadn’t heard the similarity before!
    I have one for you- it’s egregious!
    Check out Broken Bell’s song:

    The Elec Man theme from the video game Mega Man sounds freakishly similar to both of these. You should check it out.
