Beatles: "I Feel Fine" ripped off Bobby Parker's "Watch Your Step", not to mention "Come Together" lifted some Chuck Berry lyrics.
Zep: Taurus was the one I was thinking of. I'm no expert on them, but I'm pretty sure they also lifted old blues riffs all the time.
Radiohead: "Karma Police" piano riff sounds awfully like "Sexy Sadie". Plus that business with the Hollies over "Creep".
Green Day: The "American Idiot" riff is lifted from a Dilinger Four song. Don't remember its name now.
