No summer is complete without standing in long lines for bathrooms and bottled water while braving a sudden summer shower all in the quest for the perfect chord! The idea is to do this while checking out as many bands as humanly possible! Those of us in northern climes sit around the hot stove all winter just waiting for these days when we can stand around outside without most of our clothes!

While every one of us would be a better person if we found our way to Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, from Aug. 26 to Sept. 2, most of us aren't mentally or physically equipped to deal with the endurance-test qualities of this desert ritual. But for those who are, well, there's another one for you.

The rest of us can stick with the following, in roughly chronological order:

After I looked up the one-hit wonders, I went out looking for those who fared twice as well on the pop charts, the two-hit wonders. That's a 100% increase over the "One Hit Wonders'!

Once again a "hit" is defined as a song that landed into the Billboard Top 40, not the alterna-rock charts, not the country charts, not the radio playlists, the POP charts.

Granted, this is not the perfect measure of an artist's worth. Album-Oriented-Rock was just that and cared much less about singles and these days nearly every decent musician barely skims the charts if at all.

Decades into this 'rock 'n' roll era and beyond' and it's gotten harder and harder to not snatch a melody from someone else. There are twelve notes in pop music and only four or five worth thinking about. After awhile, you rip off yourself.

There are still plenty more examples where these came from (who knows what the future holds here at the wild and wonderful Y! Music) and I even avoided songs sampled into other songs. Now be sure to listen to these tunes and see if you can hear where the subconscious lift or outright rip-off occurs. And be sure to list your own favorite tunes that ripoff one another in the generous space provided below…

Here's three to get us started!

Cat Stevens may have retired the 'Cat' brand, but it doesn't stop his people from confronting other artists who infringe on one of his melodies. Eventually these folks came to terms, but I

Nancy Wilson and Ann Wilson of Heart (Photo by Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic)Pardon my distinct lack of enthusiasm here, but while I understand the political reason for letting Heart into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (look -- women!), I can't get my mind around the fact that they're supremely average and if Foreigner aren't going into the Hall with their radio-friendly hits -- and the Cars have been overlooked with their better than average pop songs -- I don't see any reason to let these pleasant people in either. If it's women the Hall seeks, couldn't they go for the Runaways? And then tap Poly Styrene?

Now, of course, I believe everyone should be in the Hall. Your band? Yep! So, it's up to me to find a couple different songs that make the argument for inclusion. I've done my job and listened through the catalog and I wrote down the ten songs they're likely most remembered for and in technical terms the music is 'eh.'

I am not counting their performance of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," which is just fine for what it is, but covers of other people's famous songs don't make much of a case for anything but your potential gig at the corner bar.
