Man i dunno. This comparison is waaay our there but especially when i listen to "generator" i always go"man...these guys sound kinda like MONORCHID" i dunno maybe everyone is all "whaaa...?" but its just what i hear. Go download "let them eat". Even if you dont think it sounds like elastica youll probably like it on its own merit.

Who have they nicked tunes from?
The two most major thefts were fromn the Stranglers and Wire. Elastica settled out of court over the similarities between "Connection" and Wire's "Three Girl Rhumba", and between "Waking Up" and the Stranglers' "No More Heroes". However, there are lots of other riffs and tunes which appear to be lifted stright from some new wave classics. In addition to the two obvious ones above fans have suggested:

* "Line Up" / Wire's "I am the fly" (chorus)
* "Connection" / The Cars "Let's Go" (handclaps)
* "2:1" / Wire's "Being Sucked in Again" (guitar)
* "See that animal" / Bachmann Turner Overdrive's "Taking Care of Business" (guitar)
* "Vaseline" / Blondie's "Sunday Girl"

Not very "creative" that justin; i might say...

Each of these examples were either a riff, melody line, or in one case, a freakin' hand clap rhythm.

That's a LONG way from completely copying another song.

bands should do this to their own records.
i think i can point out all the things i've 'borrowed' over the years.

i also assume you dig Graham Coxon? always guitar-driven. the first BLUR records are pretty rad, until they started worrying about what Oasis were doing.
