At the moment you've got "Blurred Lines" and Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up" in the news due to a pending lawsuit. George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" and half of Jimmy Page's songs were subject to similar legal action. Harrison lost - and IIRC (and it's possible that I might not) Page settled quietly more than once.
My own observation would add Pretender's "Time The Avenger" vs The Outsiders' "Time Won't Let Me" and Deep Purple's "Rat Bat Blue" vs an Allman Bros tune (title eluding me right now) to the list. There are tons more....it's just the nature of rock/pop music.
