Right on. Didn't Ace of Base invent Bhangra? How about that Brian Uno guy ripping of Yanni, the inventor of ambient! I heard some pygmies chanting the other day, and I'm surprised Deep Forest didn't sue them. On another list which will remain unnamed and Really Should Know Better, the discussion rages on about the BeeGees being the first to use a rhythm loop. Didn't some damn monks go and copy Enigma? Oh, wait, that really happened. 3 P.S. Is Bryant Gumball human? He looks more androidic than a Kraftwerk video. By the way, didn't Kraftwerk rip off the melody of some rap song? What about the Smiths stealing that guitar rhythm from "No Hippychicks"?
