Has the world gone topsy-turvy?

[MacAttack]

I was reading an Illume post the other day, and someone mentioned Lindsey borrowed heavily from Richard Ashcroft's (from The Verve) album "Alone with Everybody". Sure enough, he did. Illume uses a lot of elements of "New York".

Someone also mentioned a second track off the album sounds like "Say You Will", but I couldn't find it.

I'm actually getting in to the Ashcroft record, not bad. But while listening to Track 2 "I Get My Beat", it sounds unmistakably like Silver Girl.

Am I crazy? Just how much did Lindsey take from this guy? I'm cool with sampling, but taking at least three songs from one record seems like overkill. What's going on here?
