A friend sent me a Sebastian Tellier song the other day that I quite liked. Though, immediately upon hearing it I realized it sounded a lot like something off the new Radiohead album. You be the judge:
Sebastian Tellier - La Ritournelle (Sessions, 2005)
YouTube
flash version w/ drums
Radiohead - Reckoner (In Rainbows, 2007)
YouTube
Not a direct rip either way, but very similar. Also, I’m not sure who wrote their’s first. I’ve read reports online saying Radiohead played a version of Reckoner as far back as 2001. At any rate, it’s a good riff!

The chord progression is pretty similar and the rhythmic aspect seems to command about the same feel. It’s an interesting thing for sure and as much as i’m a long-term die hard radiohead fan, I’m guessing Sebastian wrote it first. Just a guess though.
Both hotness in their own right!

As an update: I just bought the new Portico Quartet album “Isla” and intro of the first song is very similar to the aforementioned Radiohead and Tellier songs. See for yourself
