Hold the front page "70's Rock band vaguely influenced by massively influential predecesors - shock horror, scandal, disaster OMG!!"

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

^^OK, then Cat Food and Ladies fo the Road are 2nd generation copycats from Chuck Berry; this lawsuit is a hiatus in my knowledge of rock history.
Another lack of originality of the Beatles laid bare, after the My Sweet Lord is So Fine-case against George Harrison: Big Seven smelled big money.

Cat food. Easy choice.

Can't think of any GG song that tops anything on the first 7 KC albums. Sorry.

The influence of Come Together is unmistakable, but I wouldn't call this song terrible. In fact, I love the song from the moment when Lake shuts up (usually I like his vocals, but not here).
Talking about KC and Come Together, what to think of Ladies of the Road? A brilliant Beatles pastiche, I would say, with a similar baseline - in 9/8.
Cooee! if we over analyze stuff, everything sounds similar or familiar, infact considering you are stating that Cat Food is a copycat from the Beatles - Come Together, this was not an original Beatles tune either, it is copied from Chuck Berry  -"You Can't Catch Me" (From the 1956 film Rock, Rock, Rock!)   Wink Chuck's record label sued Lennon and they won.

Absolutely not the same to me, both have jazz fusion elements KC even more so in comparison to both these tracks, only similarity might be the vocal approach of pampara papapara..., instrumentally I cannot hear a distinctive similarity.   Anyway a hug to you Hug BarryGlibb xxx

As much as I love just about every Crimson tune and Cat Food is one of their more unique songs, still this time I'll go with GG, Memories Of Old Days simply gets deeper.

Though I love Keith Tippett's piano work on Cat Food, I have to vote for Memories of Old Days, one of GG's best songs.

I do like cat food.
 
And the song too!
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.
