The Civil War’s “Barton Hollow” sounds like Beck’s “Loser”
The vibe is only vaguely similar. The real connection doesn’t come until the chorus vocal melody of Barton Hollow.

Third Eye Blind’s “Semi-Charmed” sounds like Spin Doctor’s “Two Princes”
Just skip this intro, and play the samples of the songs below for 5 second or so. Okay, did you do that? Can you believe the similarity between the first couple of seconds of each song? Even the drum fill intros match up!
Both are good songs. The chord progression in both songs is common enough. The vocals are completely different. Still, the vibe between the two songs is definitely close enough to mistake one for the other during certain parts.
