Even though I wouldn't be caught dead actually listening to them, I DO have
to give Queen credit for having the good taste to very blatantly rip off
the Move (circa 'Shazam' & 'Looking On') and the Pretty Things (circa 'S.F.
Sorrow' & 'Parachute').  Those are four albums I listed to pretty
frequently.

Don't forget that (as I boldly attempt to veer somewhat on-topic) Phil
Collins plays drums in the same rhythm section as Paul Rudolph on several
tracks on Brian Eno's solo albums, and then there's the Reactivators
version of "Nuclear Waste" ... (but also don't forget that none of this
should be taken to imply that these 3 acts do not SUCK, 'cause they do!)
