Theft should be up there with "Sex, Drugs, and Rock n' Roll." We've all heard the Picasso quote "Bad Artists Copy, Good Artists Steal." Rock n' roll would never be what it was if people didn't bite and rework styles that they were influenced by.Jimmy Page was accused of stealing "Whole Lotta Love" from Willie Dixon's "You Need Love/Woman You Need Love"Heck, John Foggerty was sued by his own label for copying himself.This Supergrass song popped up on my iTunes and it struck me how similar it was to The Talking Heads "Crosseyed and Painless."Take a listen....
