6. And Rick James ripped off M.C. Hammer
And turned the riff into a song called Super Freak. The nerve!

This is going to sound like sacrilege, but... I like "Ice Ice Baby" a lot better than the Bowie song!

8. Greenday and Oasis would not exist
But for their talent at swiping the hooks from old songs.

9. I can't believe I heard Dylan doing that Guns n' Roses song...
..."Knockin' on Heaven's Door."

He's been riding their coat-tails for years! :grr:

17. diddy/P. dud/Whatever the Hell He Calls Himself nowadays
is so far ahead of his time that numerous artists have copied him long before he produced any work!

The nerve of those old fiddy-diddies (I just had to have some pun with this).
