Dang that is really close.
But you guys need to remember that we're talking about a form of music that's often limited to a select few 12 barre chords, the pentatonic scale and certain time signatures. Take that and throw in 60 years of rock music history and millions of rock bands in existance, each with their own discographies. Yeah, I think the odds are in that a lot of bands can just copy each other on accident. I swear some people are so ridiculous to cry "plagiarism" over singers who have naturally similar sounding voices, or guitarists with similar styles. It f*cking happens. It doesn't mean they directly copied anyone, when you have so many musicians throughout a certain period of time playing a certain kind of music with certain limitations, it just happens, it's not plagiarism, it just means that kind of music is very generic. The Weezer/Pavement comparison thing is just ridiculous and I can't believe (well actually I can) that this comes up often on the internet. This is a prime example of trying to discredit a mainstream band by saying they ripped off some less popular band, and this is more ridiculous because these bands sound nothing alike. Seriously. How further are we gonna take this? It's like you could just make up these lame accusations on the spot. I'll prove it. The White Stripes are an exact ripoff of Ram Jam. Spread the word. |

Well by comparison to Weezer. It's a dumb comparison either way.
I know that Malkmus has said it himself that he considers Weezer to be a ripoff of Pavement. But then again this is a man who has built a great reputation for saying incredibly obnoxious and stupid statements about artists more talented than he is.... Which btw, is a hell of a lot of people. |

^ Yes we all know about that. I still think Come as you Are blows away 80's.
The tunes are distincitive, they are definetely not identical. Everything with the exception of the guitar line sound totally different, and I wouldn't even say the guitar line is exactly the same. Besides that this "plagiarism" happens all the time, there are so many tunes out there that I think this thread is moot. And the song was released in 1991.
