Thief of Hearts, Rich Man Living In A Poor Man's House, I Got The Girl, Mystery Train as far as band songs. Also, Queen of New Orleans is basically Jon rewriting Mary Jane's Last Dance.

Mystery Train is only one of my favorites... I don't know why I didn' think of that one. The verses and then the "Mystery Trauuuin" is very Petty.
Yeah the rythem to the lyrics of QONO is very much like MJLD though I had never thought of it until now. When that song came out all I could think about was if Jon had enough time from the release of Foo Fighter's the Colour and Shape album to rip off "Hey Johney park." I remember those guitar riffs being very similar.
Speaking of, for being as an original album as DA was (and ahead of it's time IMO), it certainly "borrowed" a bit. August 7, 415 vs Free World.
