songs that ripped off other songs

[limitles]

Jesus - 1973

Ride On - 1976

Ride On
Bon Scott / Ian Wheeler / Angus Young / Malcolm Young

Wow, I would have never tied the two together but yeah, it's there. And I wouldn't think I'd give the nod to ZZ over AC but no question the better song.

Would U2 borrow from another song? Surely not?

Well, decide for yourself. Listen to the first 45 seconds of 'The Sun Always Shines on TV', a number one hit for Aha in the UK and Ireland in 1985, then compare it to sections (go to 1 min 52 secs) of U2's Beautiful Day realeased in the year 2000.
