Go on then, I'll bite, what did each rip? I know The Beatles were largely 'inspired' to some degree by Roy Orbison and Bobby Parker (and I'd argue I Feel Fine sounds like What'd I Say too). Zeppelin possibly ripped Taurus but I dunno what else. Green Day I've no idea but it wouldn't surprise me, and Radiohead again I'm not sure. Specifics?
