Green Day’s “Warning” sounds like The Kinks’s “Picture Book”
Picture Book (1968): A really great track from the tight concept album “The Villiage Green Preservation Society”
Warning (2000): There is little room for doubt in this case – Green Day clearly copied every element of this song except for the lyrics.

That’s mainstream pop music for you. The entire industry these days is based on ripping of classic songs and hooks and covering everything with Autotune.
I disagree. When you talk about copying a song, you are talking about the melody. The melody of the two songs are different. The riff is similar. If this is copying, then every song in rock is a copy.
