Like most on here I just don’t get it popular music these days is shit in my opinion I remember recording the top 40 every Sunday but it just seems like a waste of time now you have multiple radio stations with different charts and when you think 50 cent had more singles in the top 10 than the Beatles and I think jay z has more us number 1 than the Beatles Just seems ridiculous to me
...is a plagiarist. Thinking Out Loud, Photograph and Shape Of You to name but three.
Never been convinced on the Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On ripoff. It's the same bassline but it's such an incredibly simple progression. It wasn't first used by Gaye.Originally Posted by severncity
But yes, Sheeran has ripped other stuff off more clearly.

I couldn’t be bothered to argue when you originally posted your reply, or when the news below broke. But im at a loose end now so here it is.

The first time I heard “Thinking Out Loud” I was certain that it was a ripoff of “Let’s Get It On”. You, with your superior knowledge and wisdom on every conceivable subject, will naturally disagree. It must be a real bind for you being correct 100% of the time.
Reminds me of this
I'm afraid that this has been going on since time immemorial.
Most youngsters these days have never even heard of Marvin Gaye and even if they have, Marv's an old fogey and Ed's cool.
No ginge can ever be cool.
He's bland. Most people don't like to be challenged or have to think too much. Makes sense to me.
The only plus is that he's not what would be considered conventionally attractive. So I suppose that's something positive.
Yep I was at that one bit worse forces though I remeber thousands ironically singing along with Dave Couzens of the Strawbs "you want get me I'm part of the union "
Budge were a class act.
Budgie are the best band to come out of Wales. Full stop
Amen to that, followed by Man and Sassafras, I saw all 3 on one bill down Rover way club many moons ago
The only time i enjoyed listening to Ed Sheeran was when he sang in Game of Thrones. But Hawkwind and their Silver Machine was brilliant and brings back so many great memories.
I've done a bit of googling and found these songs that have the same chord progression in the same key (not necessarily the same feel*) as Let's Get It On and Thinking Out Loud. I'm not saying anyone's ripped anyone else off, just thought it was interesting. Like I said, it's a common chord sequence.

That's page 9 of Google, I'm done.
*and certainly not necessarily good
Having the same chord progression and key doesn't have anything to do with plagiarism!
That's my point.
