I think its really sad that artist rip each other off. Most of the songs were really good, and they would have gone on to do great things if they had only licensed the music or come up with something original. I present a list of artists who would have done great things if they had done it the right way.
1.The Verve - bittersweet symphony These guys would have ruled rock and roll!!! If they wouldnt have ripped off the Rolling Stones then they Id be willing to bet that each of thier following albums would have had a top 10 hit.
2.MC Rob Base and DJ Ez Rock - it takes 2 They would also have gone on to be huge! But due to bad management and the fact that they ripped off one of James Brown's background singers made them fail.
3.Vanilla Ice Ok, he just plain sucks anyway, but he went on to be music's biggest asshole in my opinion. He ripped everything from Wild Cherry to Queen&David Bowie. He lied about his past, saying that he was a "gangsta" and that he grew up in the hood.
Its just disgusting. These artist could have been so big and done so much it almost makes me sick because they couldnt go through the trouble of asking to sample something. Rob Base & DJ Ez Rock invented a whole new genre for christ's sake! "Hip house" is a very sample driven style of music where you combine hip hop with dance music. Its disgusting and its sad.

verve WERE huge in england and released several albums. in my opinion the rolling stones sample on that song was blown completely out of proportion by the stones themselves. it's not even a sample of a stones song, but an orchestral interpretation of one of their songs. they broke up (for the 2nd and final time) cos the band members hate(d) each other.

coldplay and travis are hardly "happy sunshiny" -- travis are, however, totally dull and shit -- i like the two coldplay songs ive heard, both of which were bittersweet

Madonna.
She just gets in the 'hip' producers to copy the kind of music they are doing.
