I actually don’t know a thing about Sonic Youth - yet another glaring hole in my musical knowledge. Email Sonic Youth over and I’ll post it then, along with your scurrillous allegations!

But I take your point. guess because I always think of supergrass in terms of 'Caught By the Fuzz' and 'Alright' which aren't very Sonic Youth-y. Still think Placebo stole from the Youth though! feel free to mail them over...Ed D’oh!

Happy to mail the two over if you'd like aural confirmation. Finger o' Fudge to me, then. DC Supergrass = Richard III

Sonic Youth = Silver Rocket

It’s even in the same key.

Personally, if anyone has pilfered from Sonic Youth I would say it was Placebo (listen to the first Placebo album for proof. Sarcastic comments not necessary, Mr. Toad). I thought supergrass owed far more to UK acts. Go on, DC, put me out of my misery so I can kick myself. Oh, and there's an interview with Ringo Deathstarr over at 17 Seconds, if anyone's interested...? Here, Matthew, here, frantically racking my brains.
