Yeah the RHCP v Petty debacle is stupid. In order for them to match 'perfectly', you have to speed Petty's track up. Plus it's pretty much those two examples that the DJ used.
OH GOD THEY BOTH SAID THE NAME OF A TOWN OH GOD RIP-OFF

It's a pretty basic chord progression. If it was a complicated riff, then sure. But whatever.

I don't get why this is such a big deal. This isn't the first time this has happened, and it's been done quite more blatently. Green Day's Brain Stew is a rip-off of Chicago's EDIT:something 25 or 6 to 4. I dunno. whatev

And for the record, Dani California is probably one o fthe weakest songs on Stadium Arcadium. It's apparent that it was written to be a radio-friendly single, which is pretty lame. RHCP doesn't need to rip anyone off. I mean seriously.

Ha, I thought of the same names before even reading that post.

EDIT: I agree with Kurt Cobain too, and with regards to all the emo bands, I find it amusing that people are saying a band is overrated when almost everyone I know says they suck. To be overrated, don't you have to be regarded highly, not the other way around? I'm not the biggest emo fan in the world, but c'mon, if everyone goes on about how much they suck, they can't be rated that highly.

One look across the likes of MySpace/LiveJournal/TrendyDotCom etc. and you'll see just how many multitude of young kids like that kind of music. Take for example a band like MCR. Most of the time you'll have nothing but smack talked about them (which I totally agree with). However they've sold boatloads of CDs and DVDs, and almost any kiddy-emoist you talk to (and believe me, they're everywhere) will tell you MCR are amazing. So in that sense, yes most EMO acts can be considered overated. However this is all purely based on opinion however, since whether or not a band is deemed good by the individual is up to the individual, not the band.

I agree with Cz about the Stone Roses, they're overrated. Also RHCP are one of the most overrated bands ever. Some of the songs they write are really good, but they have a load of absolute poop.

Yeah, Kurt Cobain is the one of the worst things I've seen in rock, period.
