Joe Satriani sues Coldplay for plagiarism:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7766683.stm

Two obvious solutions: either allow Satriani to join Coldplay, or convince Eno to produce Satch.

Does this mean Kraftwerk can sue them as well?

That Snow Patrol song is great, even though it is a perfect example of what's being asked for in the thread.

This holds more water than most musical plagiarism incidents I come across, but still...yeah, it's not exactly an improbable melody to come across if you're a songwriter. Any fool walking down the street and whistling would arrive at it sooner or later.

Yeah, especially since the second half of the line is the same as the first half, but just down a step. Pretty common trick.
