Apparently this song was determined to be a direct rip of Pettys I won't back down. Now petty will be getting paid for this crappy pop song kind of like the stones did for bittersweet sypmhony

Good for TP. He also got his "Last Dance with Mary Jane" ripped by the Chili Peppers.

Rod Stewart was pretty serviceable before selling out, wasn´t he?

Funny thing is, Petty wrote LDWMJ after these guys opened up for him the year before, on this single... Jayhawks - Waiting For the Sun

a little similarity in the opening of both songs... now, they go in totally different directions after...

I still think The Black Keyes ripped off of "Last Dance With Mary Jane" and "Kiss From a Rose" to make "Little Black Submarines". Still an awesome song, though.

Yep, and their opening track of turn blue rips off breathe by Floyd pretty badly. However, they are pretty up front about their influences in general so you can't be too hard on them

Pop song? The faces rock. Especially stay with me. You suck.

Not that Petty needs the extra scratch, but I'm
Glad this is being recognized. This song has gotten all sorts of play and it's the very first thing I thought when I heard it. It's pretty obvious.

Also, it's not the Faces- that song was decades before- sorry if that was the joke & I missed it.

Arg, get off my lawn! Just because a song is old doesn't make it better. As a big Tom Petty fan, I can honestly say this song shits on Won't Back Down.

Stupid ruling too, IMO. They aren't THAT similar although I definitely see it now that I hear it.

so another song influenced a song 20 years later? that's an absurd ruling. the guys who wrote stay with me alleged they had never even heard the petty song, which is pretty ridiculous but kinda funny

Yeh, but thats kinda the point. Its not a heavily melody based song IMO. He's basically singing one note per chord on a very simple chord progression.
