but how about "two-faced love" by Richard Thompson and "The Bug"

Only the first couple of bars of the intro, otherwise it's not a bit like The Bug.  I do like this song though and I like Richard Thompson!  :)

Yeah, BiA really sounds like Bird of paradise by Snowy White.

Counting Crows Mr Jones vs. Sultans Of Swing.

Especially in the  chorus and the bassguitar.

Shadow Play and SOS? Come off it! Shadow Play is good hard rock and (very basic) roll. A great song and one of my favourites but nothing like SOS.

As for BIA - I was really shocked when I first heard it as I was also  a Snowy White fan and thought Bird Of Paradise had been well and truly ripped off!

The first time I heard "Who's your baby now?" it reminded me of an old Beatles b-side single composed by John Lennnon, "Rain"

JJ.Cale. 'Artificial Paradise'

Absolutely LOVE that song. Sure sounds like MK to me. (Or vice versa)  ;D
