it's actually the same first 2 chords, but then it's different chord progression.
not the same.

Actually the Edge's guitar during the chorus is reminiscent of "You Keep Me Hanging On" by Diana Ross and the Supremes. Seriously.

Reminiscent is not the same thing as stealing, which is what was implied by the above post.
Also, most songs are "reminiscent" of another song in some capacity.
My ears hear none of the Supremes in "Vertigo", but if Edge was inspired by anyone, may as well be by a great classic.
the mad hatter said:I just called my local station to ask the DJ to play Vertigo...
He said he would as soon as he could find it....
SO, I will stay tuned to hear what he has to say about it as soon as he finds it! (small town-what can I say?)
Inner El Guapo said:The first two chords of Vertigo's melody and the Supremes song are different. C-A# for YKMHO and E-D for Vertigo.
Defintely different.
And it was written by Holland/Dozier/Holland so let's stop acting like anyone is stealing anything from the Supremes, I'm not sure they wrote a single song they ever performed.

The top 40 might have it but who wants to listen to all the crap to wait for it? I'm hoping maybe the hipster modern rock one will play it. I miss the good station!
