so is U2 ripping him off? paying homage? coincidence?
i was listening to the Young American albums <Beck samples the song "Win" on his song "Debra" as well!> and i was struck but how similiar those 2 songs are.
what do you think?

I was posting about this very thing, many years back. Definite copying going on, from the u2-ers

Definitely similar near the beginning, but that’s it. After that they sound completely different to me. I imagine Edge or Bono knew the song as they are Bowie fans so they probably copied that beginning.
