Not to mention Jack Black essentially stole his entire stage persona from Meat Loaf; but, I guess, if your gonna steal, steal from the best...

^"Stealing" is such a harsh word, maybe he was more like "influenced" by Meat loaf?

...BTW. What comes to stealing e.g. Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple are better known for this kinda activity.

No harshness intended; "steal from the best" is an old common phrase used in variety of fields and very often in the arts and there very often with a nod and a wink...

Besides Zep and DP, Michael Jackson was widely reputed to have been less than truthful about the sources of many of "his" songs. There has been a long list of lawsuits by a large number of songwriters/musicians/singers who claimed Jackson lifted whole or part of their compositions. Jackson would try to bury the plaintiffs under legal paperwork and maneuvering, with occasional visits from one of his known fixers, and, failing that, he would settle quietly out of court for goodly sums of money. This does not include situations where he found or was brought a song and the proviso for him recording it would be that he would get a songwriting credit, with royalties, and sometimes a bit of the publishing rights. There were rumors around the music scene here in LA of some songwriters who tried to buck Jackson winding up find themselves with very little opportunity to work afterwards, a sort of "you'll never work in this town again" situation. The music business can, indeed, be ugly...

Speaking of 'theft', I recall when Vanilla Ice used sampling to create his one big hit, Ice, Ice Baby, lifting basically the whole of the Queen/Bowie composition, Under Pressure. Vanilla Ice, on hearing Queen, in particular, were very upset about the 'lift', said "Queen can kiss my lily white ass!" There was a subsequent interview with Brian May where the interviewer brought up Vanilla Ice's statement; May responded by saying Queen had heard the statement and responded by "suing his lily white ass" and Queen won that battle...

Zep liberally 'borrowed' from several Willie Dixon compositions and, at the urging of his grandchildren, he finally got lawyers to sue Zep for their transgressions. With all the back royalties and damages he won in his court case, Willie was able to set up the Blues Heaven Foundation to aid older Blues performers who were in need of assistance and to try to preserve the history and culture of the Blues; he was even able to buy the old Chess Records building in Chicago, where he had worked as a performer, songwriter, arranger and producer, to serve as a headquarters and museum for his foundation...

Just wanted to post a video of Buddy Guy performing with a young protege of his, Quinn Sullivan. This kid just turned 18 recently, but he has been playing since he was three or four years old; you could say he was just about born with a guitar. This kid doesn't just cut heads, he slices and dices them. Here he is live with Buddy doing a medley of a couple of Cream and one Hendrix tune:

@Jim
This song was not plagiarism. It was originally band called It's a Beautiful Day's song that was fairly swapped for Purple's song Wring That Neck.

It's a Beautiful Day-Bombay Calling
