It would seem that Dixon would have a case against Zeppelin! And then all of pop/rock music young and old would start suing each other for copyright infringement! Or we could all just admit that everything we hear is derivative of everything else and just enjoy the music.

To me, the one that will always annoy me the most is that the riff played after each chorus of The Cars' "Best Friends Girl" is a literal direct lift of the guitar line after each verse of The Beatles' "I Will." I can't believe there was never a lawsuit over this. I can think of many more - some of which I have pointed out to you in emails and one you even posted on Culture Catch last week. But I don't want to hog the comment section! LOL.
