      Try “Crazy” by Britney and “Larger Than Life”, or “i’ll be there for you” by Solid Harmonie and “I Want You Back” by Nsync.

   This four-note sequence is massively recycled. Other occurances include “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” by John Lennon, “Outlaw Pete” by Bruce Springsteen, “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight” by U2, and countless others.

         This is kind of embarrassing, countless others and I suggest one with a slightly different pattern. I’ll change it to the guitar part of Make Me Pure by Robbie Williams (2005), etc.

   All I thought of listening to these was Vanessa Carlton’s San Francisco.

   It sounds to me like the animated series’ “M.A.S.K.” intro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh11NDMHVl0

   When i heard the song “forever young” last year i could not get journey’s “forever yours” out of my head.

   Also, I found this site while trying to find an old song that another new song REALLY reminded me of. The new song is Gavin Degraw’s “Not over you”

   the specific parts is when he starts “If you asked me how i’m doing, i would say i’m doing just fine….I’m not over you” It’s like deja vu whenever i ear it on the radio.

   I always thought that Journey’s Faithfully and Prince’s Purple Rain sounded alike especially the guitar solo and chord progression

    This one sounds similar to these four as well. 30 Seconds to Mars- Call to Arms

    This is really close to the “friends” theme song.

    The intro of Journey’s song sounds a lot like ABBA’s intro of “The winner takes it all”, doesn’t it?
