Lonestar - Amazed and Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas and Britney Spears My Only Wish.

Christina Aguliera Candy Man and The Andrews Sisters Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy but that was intentional.

R Kelly - I believe I can fly and Michael Jackson You are not alone (prolly because R Kelly was involved with both)

East 17 Betcha can't wait and Another Level I want you for myself. These probably don't sound that alike now but I always got confused with them at the time.

Britney Spears Boys and Justin Timberlake Like I Love You - down to the neptunes I imagine?

Every time I hear the intro to the Vaccines' Wreckin' Bar I briefly think, just for a moment, that it's going to be TV on the Radio's Wolf Like Me.

Scouting's first album was like a theme song (She's So Lovely) followed by variations of it. Their second probably wasn't the same.
As for The Script, I thought Breakeven was a run-down version of The Man Who Can't Be Moved.

Probably because Jessie J wrote both of them?

Come Together and You Can't Catch Me by Chuck Berry.

Apparently they were similar enough for John to be sued and be forced to record a covers album hence his Rock n Roll album, in which he covered You Can't Catch Me:

Come Together

You Can't Catch Me (John version)

The instrumental break in John Miles' Music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnO3LwkANXw (around 3 mins in) is a dead ringer for the Blake's 7 theme tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnautWFuEnQ Thought so for years now.

Or the other way around, not sure which came first

I remember first hearing Make Over and thinking it sounded identical to Overload - especially the "overload in my head"/"overkill, now I'm ready to fight" bits. And basically the whole instrumental. I'm pretty sure the Overload writers got credited on Make Over in the end.

Surprised no one's mentioned The Jam-Start and The Beatles-Taxman yet.

Wasn't there also a row over the Ghostbusters title song sounding similar to a Huey Lewis tune?

This reminded me of The Enemy's We'll Live and Die In These Towns which is basically bits of The Jam's Going Underground and That's Entertainment stuck together.

Also Coldplay's Talk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0_bYHZrw9A

is basically Kraftwerk's Computer Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtWTUt2RZh0

although fair play to Chris Martin who openly acknowledges that they ripped off Kraftwerk

Also their song Cops and Robbers is a huge rip off of Lovecats by The Cure.

In a similar vein, Coldplay's song Shiver is basically just an upbeat version of Grace by Jeff Buckley, which Chris has also since acknowledged.

I've always thought Joints & Jam by the Black Eyed Peas sounds an awful lot like Award Tour by A Tribe Called Quest. Also, One Way or Another by Blondie has a reeaalllly similar guitar riff to Teenage Kicks by the Undertones.

The intro to the Sugababes' Wear My Kiss and Adam Lambert's If I Had You sound very similar.
