Check out the slide guitar hook in the 1997 James track “She’s a Star” and Natalie Imbruglia‘s “Torn”, released in the same year. (Turns out the Imbruglia version is actually a cover released in 1995 by Ednaswap).

UPDATE: Maroon 5 vs. Tears for Fears
Update for Tears for Fears vs. Hillary Duff
Elle made a nice find in the pre-chorus of Maroon 5‘s single “She Will Be Loved”. Check out the Tears for Fears vs. Hillary Duff post for the others.
Maroon 5 - "She Will Be Loved" (2002)
Tears for Fears - "Break it Down Again" (1993)
Hillary Duff - "Wake Up" (2005)
Nirvana vs. Killing Joke
Thanks to Ari for this one.
Nirvana‘s second hit single off Nevermind might have seemed a bit familiar to many of those who grew up in the eighties. That haunting riff complete with chorus effect has a striking resemblance to Killing Joke‘s 1984 hit Eighties. According to Rolling Stone Kurt Cobain was apparently nervous about the release of this track as a single. Killing Joke sued Nirvana and eventually dropped the lawsuit.
Have a listen for yourself:
Nirvana - "Come as You Are" (1992)
Killing Joke - "Eighties" (1984)
