Muse - Falling down (the guitar) / Jeff Buckley - Satisfied mind

If you listen to Les Razilles Denudes' B1 (Studio 1970) and Dinosaur Jr's Not The Same , you'll immediately notice that both songs use the same chords and vocal lines.

Thats probably the most well known one.
Also teen spirit has a similar rhythm guitar part to debaser by the pixies.

I think you're thinking of Wire's Three Girl Rhumba.

Elastica's Connection also "borrows" from The Cars' Let's Go.

Another well known one:

New Seekers - I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing/Oasis - Shakermaker

Coldplay vs Kraftwerk's Computer Love

Yeah, I remember something on television about how chris martin asked Hütter for permission to use the riff.

If the two songs are in F and there's a similar rhythmic figure however it's not the same chord progression, harmonies and melodies so I actually don't find a resemblance.

Indeed: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-Zlf_17hecY

And frankly, KJ's is better.

aw come on. swirlies are way more creative.

and yeah i meant three girl rumba.. brain fart.

Every time i play the rhythm part of debaser on the guitar I play teen spirit by accident.

Pagoda / Nirvana

Ziggy Stardust-Where'd You Go(J & The Fog)

Only the riff though.

Bit of an obscure one, but the song cut the shit by J Church, is EXACTLY the same as lewis (mistreated) by radiohead. It's not even funny!

Beatles - Sexy Sadie/ Karma Police

Holy Shit. It does sound the same.

Weezer-Undone (the Sweater Song)/ Pixies-I Bleed
Husker Du-Signals from Above/SS Decontrol-Boiling Point

Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha / VU - Sweet Jane

David Bowie - Jean Genie / Jacques Dutronc - La fille du père Noël
Tim Buckley - Wanda lu / Louie Louie

Famous ones:

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven / Spirit - Taurus
The Doors - Hello I love you / The Kinks - All day and all of the night
