Not to interrupt your dunking of the OP here, but you are objectively wrong.

“I hate it when people make claims like this and then can’t don’t back them up with a single example. Cite one besides “The Air That I Breathe.”

Same chords and chord structures are fine. Tons of songs have the same chords. Hell look at the thousands of pop songs that have the I–V–vi–IV structure (like with Axis of Awesome)

Man, so tired of Radiohead. Still waiting for a proper follow-up to The Bends, btw.

Radiohead don’t own publishing rights to their early songs.

Radiohead and XL bought back their catalog in the EMI firesale a couple years ago. That’s why they’re releasing anniversary editions (and maybe why they’re suing people) - to make back the bank that cost.

Imajor - V7/VI - IV Major - IVminor

You can’t copyright chord progressions. Every single chord progression in the last 50 years has already been used hundreds of times before it. I cant name any that use this one but I have studied music theory extensively and I can safely say I have never found a song with an original chord progression after…

Yes, but conduct outside of work is still held to a criminal ‘innocent until proven guilty’ standard. If misconduct has not yet been proven you have limited grounds to sack somebody.

Even in SOA’s most awful moments, I often thought I’d watch a show about Marcus Alvarez.

Just keep him away from period pieces. The Bastard Executioner was flaming radioactive dookie.

Nobody was asking for Sons of Anarchy’s last 3 seasons!

Great, I assume this one will also feature extra-long episodes and musical montages that no one asked for.

No. It’s not a loss in the same way The Rolling Stones coming down on The Verve for “Bittersweet Symphony” was, but it still feels dangerous to pick on music for being similar to other music.

I think the offer of 40% was fair and I’m kind of surprised they didn’t take it. Aside from the first minute, the songs are completely different. She intentionally or unintentionally cribbed the first verse or two, sure, but what makes Creep so memorable is really the chorus and especially the bridge.

Was anyone asking for a Sons of Anarchy spin-off?

I predict the 15 mostly-Harvard educated white males in the writers’ room will have the Latino characters say “Ese” and “Mijo” at least one thousand times per episode.

Yeah, I heard MOST of her songs 25 years ago when they were performed by Mazzy Star.

Yeah this just sounds like one of those creepy, slow covers of a pop song that always appear in movie trailers lately, at least until the chorus happens. The melody and major-minor shift are exact copies.

And thus begun the universal shift away from loving Radiohead.
