They did get a bit fed up of copying Wire at one point and wrote that incredibly original song "Waking Up"! For the life of me I can't think of anything that song sounds like! Anyway, got to go, I'm off to watch "No More Heroes" by The Stranglers!

Well, I've been a fan of Wire (and most of their spin-offs) for most of my life so, when Elastica came out I remember that as soon as I heard Connection or 2:1 the reference (or rip off if you want to call it like that) was clear. But I always thought Elastica were incredibly cool because 1) when they started no-one was paying that reference to that period of Wire (77-78) and 2) ok, sometime the riffs are the same, but they assimilated and transformed them in their own sound. Which is an up-date 90s version of the Wire sound. I mean, even Led Zeppelin did something similar with blues classics, but in the end what it really counts is how you transform and change the influences not the fact that you have them. And I think Elastica succeded in that

@@damnedlock2956 “But Gilbert had no objections to Elastica’s use of Wire’s music. “I thought it was amusing and flattering. I thought it was fascinating,” he comments. Newman was less pleased, mostly because it was reported, falsely, that he had given Elastica his blessing to borrow from ‘Three Girl Rhumba’. Contrary to popular myth, Wire did not initiate any legal action over this: their music publisher, Carlin, had simply approved the appropriation after consulting with a musicologist provided by Elastica’s publisher. (Wire didn’t receive any significant payment and only learned about the deal after the fact. Not only was ‘Connection’ a successful single, but Elastica also did well from advertising deals with Budweiser and Garnier hair products, who soundtracked US television commercials with the song; in the UK, Channel 4’s Trigger Happy TV used it as theme music. ‘Three Girl Rhumba’ itself was adopted for a European H&M commercial in 2004.)” Read and Burn: a book about Wire, Wilson Neate, 2012

I think Elastica doesn't deserve that amount of hate I see in this comment section. I think everbody rips off other bands all the beloved "genius" bands like Radiohead or Nirvana ripped off songs and Wire statistically must have made it . But there is a difference between "intelligent" rip offs like Elastica does and "bad" rip offs, like Oasis does. In the first case, they use one melody to build something completely different than the original, the only indefensible song of Elastica would be "Waking Up". On the other hand, Oasis just puts "Imagine" sample in a "Let it be" made song. At least, Elastica have their own sound and they inspired at least two bands (the Foo Fighters and Franz Ferdinand), they were inspired by Wire but also the Pixies and nobody seems to have noticed that. Oasis just do "beatles like" stuff, with beatles composition, with beatles orchestra...

At the end of the day, even worst case scenario this is illegal uncredited plagiarism, what they did with what they stole is improve it and build upon it and make it better. That is not the ugly side of art, it's actually its most beautiful side. Collaborative Creating. What I hear in the Wire songs is the seeds of great ideas, and in Elastica I hear fruition. However it came to be, I am glad to live in a world that has the amazing songs of Elastica in it. If Wire contributed, I thank them, too.

There's being influenced by your favourite band , and then there is blatant stealing . How on earth they thought they would get away with Connection is beyond me . Line Up is too close for comfort as well. Waking Up is way too close to the Stranglers . When your best songs are direct lifts from other groups and you give no credit , you not only get sued but also lose your credibility . But more importantly this reminds me of how great Wire were.

About where I am. "Connection" is obvious, but also just altered enough to qualify as different, and anyone who's seriously even tried to write original tunes knows it's ok to borrow like that in limited doses. That's what Elastica did. (I'm thinking about Fountains of Wayne with "Stacey's Mom," which liberally borrows three Cars riffs in service of a not-quite-a-song parody. FoW's songwriters don't NEED to borrow so blatantly; they clearly CHOSE to, and that what I hear with Elastica, there. Not the other tunes nearly so much.)

The problem is more fundamental than a standard “vs” argument. Pop music is basically of a very low musical standard, consisting of a handful of overused chords and very basic melodies. You run out of options pretty quick and eventually it’s near enough impossible NOT to plagiarise someone. The solution is develop sufficient musical expertise to enable you to stretch out your music so that no one can ever accuse you of copying (good examples: velvets, stooges, James Brown, neu!). Unfortunately that kind of ethos seldom makes money since most people can only think in simple terms hence we’re reduced to retread after retread after retread as evidenced here

Song one: Elastica took a cliche and elaborated it. No problem. Song two: Elastica borrowed a four-note motif and changed its presentation. No problem. Song three: Can't you hear that the chords are totally different? Song four: Wire did not invent the two quaver-crotchet rhythm and therefore it cannot be stolen. Song five: Similar situation as song four. Song six: Admittedly very similar, but it's just two notes and a syncopated rhythm. Song seven: Hardly alike at all. Song eight: The head motif is identical, admittedly. But this could be taken as just a quotation of wire- the music develops differently later. That's not saying that the quotation is particularly meaningful. Song nine: The vocal is disappointingly similar; the chords are different. This could be understood as a "transcription" of the Wire song. None of this amounts to plagiarism, just a lack of imagination on Elastica's part. Popular music is about transmission of cliches. Wire inherited their cliches from the people that came before them.

To my ears, the Elastica songs sound a hell of a lot like Wire's originals. Too close for legal comfort, IMHO. (Except for the last track which is a straight cover version, no problem). But godammit, Elastica's songs sound so much better! It's as if they took (as in 'stolen') crude and simplistic melodic/rhythmic/harmonic punk ideas and made them greater, richer, somehow. Given them a better life. But theft is theft. No doubt about it. There are just too many songs here. Taken from just one band? This cannot be an accident or coincidence. We have all heard a song that sounds a bit like another song. Everyone has. Accidental plagiarism does happen. But this is too much. Too much by half. I need a lie down...

Who cares about the legal stuff?? It gets dealt with. I just like hearing good music. There have been so many successful musicians that have clearly displayed their influences in their own music. This is true of everything that humans create.

Hahahaha. You're seriously reaching comparing "Different To Me" with Stutter. :D Not even close. Certainly not the same progression. And "Being Sucked In Again" compared to 2:1 is purely just the rhythm being compared over very different progressions. That wouldn't stand up in court. Whilst the first two are obvious and definite lifts as well as some of the others to a lesser degree, a few mentioned are seriously clutching at straws.

The only blatant rip off is the riff from "3 Girl Rhumba" for "Connection." Elastica said Wire were a big influence on them. Elastica paid them for the riff and put their name on the map. No one would know who Wire were if it wasn't for Elastica. I think Wire are probably happy that Elastica made them well known.

You're really grasping at straws. I even like the Elastica song but it's a blatant rip off. And it's not like Wire are some really obscure band. They may not be a household name but they're still playing all over the world, still making great music, and their classic material is about a billion times more highly regarded than any Elastica album.
