Whenever I listen to Head Like A Hole by Nine Inch Nails, I think that Trent Reznor spent a lot of time listening to Stigmata by Ministry. As far as I can tell, Reznor basically modified the main riff from Stigmata.
Duran Duran/Japan has already been mentioned - I often think that Duran Duran was Japan if Japan placed maximum commercial appeal instead of David Sylvian's artistic vision.
One of the riffs in the middle of The Offspring's Hammerhead is a blatant rip-off of The Kinks' All Day And All Of The Night.
The City of the Dead section in Green Day's Jesus of Suburbia takes cues from Motley Crue's On With the Show.
The bassline in Rick James' Superfreak was appropriated by MC Hammer for his risible hit.
Wolfmother sounded enough like Led Zeppelin that Mike Patton of all people alluded to it.
