I think "rip offs" is a bit harsh ... I'd say just songs with similarities. For example, Undivided and Hash Pipe have very similar riffs, but I doubt it was intentional

Although, I do dislike Heaven Is A Place On Earth for exactly that reason, so perhaps I'm just a rose tinted spectacle wearing hypocrite?

Anyways, that's just semantics. The Distance sounds rather like Creed's "My Sacrifice", and I Want You sounds a lot like Angel by Aerosmith
