Hmm, I don't know. Yes, Let It Rain is similar to that Bruce song, but it's only the chords for me and maybe the way the drum kicks in. But LIR has more chords, a melody on top of it, and the verses aren't the same, either. So I find it a bit of a stretch to call it a carbon copy.
Same thing for Unbroken. Yes, the melody is similar in parts to Beethoven's 9th symphony, but dissimilar in others. And that melody has been around for centuries, so anyone knows it and could therefor come up with something similar, because it's stuck in the back of everyone's head. Not that it would be illegal to rip that one off, because it's too old, or would it?
Back to LIR: I absolutely *love* the "take a look around" line. Not especially for the lyrics, but for how the melody goes and how it goes back to a major chord (I'd say G, but haven't checked).
My favorites by far are Blood On The Water, Brothers In Arms and Let It Rain. I have a sweet spot for Story Of Love and Shine and can appreciate Lower The Flag, Unbroken and American Reckoning for what they are. Oh, and DWYC is too catchy not to love it, especially the duet version
