Had a bit of a discussion the other day about whether Blockbuster by the Sweet is the same riff as Jean Genie by David Bowie

Yes, it is supposedly based on 'I'm A Man', although that is in G rather than E.
I'm a Man → Bo Diddley → Who Do You Love → George Thorogood & The Destroyers...
Second only to Quicksilver's 25 minute live version on their Happy Trails album.

Started thinking of this one while listening to Kris Kristofferson
Over the last week or so I have been trying to think of a song by the Smiths that reminded me of an Elvis song. I worked out which song it was yesterday. Unfortunately this now ties in with todays announcement of the death of the Smiths bass player, Andy Rourke.
Acoustic guitar sounds similar to His Latest Flame.
