Zach Bair released a tune last year called Rutherford Drive, here: Every time I hear this tune, I cannot help but think the similarities are a bit too close to Allison Road, by Gin Blossoms: Am I smoking crazyjuice?

Everyone knows that the Stones started as a blues cover band and that they had a voracious appetite for the Chess/Checker catalog in particular. I can't help but think that when they came up with the signature riff for "19th Nervous Breakdown", the opening of Little Walter's "Rollercoaster" was still rattling around in somebody's brain:
Not saying that it was necessarily a conscious bit of plagiarism: even early on, the Stones were always pretty vocal about given credit/kudos to the old blues masters they so admired. In any case, I've always found the similarity to be quite noticeable.

There was a old hymn from the 19th century written by someone named George Allen (same name as the 20th century football coach). Then there was a gospel song from the 20th century written by someone named Thomas Dorsey (same name as the big band leader, but a different guy). The songs have different rhythm with the syllables of the lyrics, but to my ears, the music of the two songs sounded alike.
The most recent editions of the gospel song credit Mr. Allen with the music and Mr. Dorsey with the words. Apparently, the publishers realized that the gospel song was substantially the old hymn and now credit the hymnwriter with the music.
