Similarities between songs (just coincidence?)

There is a part in "The Snow Goose" by Camel (somewhere at the beginning of side 2; haven't heard "The Snow Goose" for years so I can't be more specific)) which sounds just like Pink Floyd's "Echoes" just before the "noise" part.

Atisha's (Very Obscure band) song "Life" steals in the intro from the intro to Genesis' "Dance on a Volcano"

Empty Tremor's "The eyes of Universe" Rips off Dream theater's "Under a Glass moon"

Sieges Even's "Dimensions" intro sounds like Rush's Xanadu

Apple Pie's "Crossroad" Copies (Or is way too similar to) Dream Theater's "Blind Faith"

Arena's "Waiting for the flood" in the middle sounds like the intro to Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity"

Sieges even's "Tangerine Windows of Solace" Has a part like the Syncopated part near the end of Jacob's ladder By Rush

And the last part does something Similar to Rush's "Hemispheres"

Pagan's Mind song "The Prophecies of Pleiades" copies Dream Theater's "Learning to live"

The Flower Kings songs "End on a high note" and "Minor Giant Steps" use the same keyboard tone as the intro to Yes' "Gates of Delirium"

Dream Theater's Trial of Tears intro... Is Suspiciously Similar to Rush's "Xanadu"

Also Pagan's mind's Song "Aegan shores" Uses the same Drum Beat as Under Glass moon

Opeth's Benighted sounded like a Camel song...forgot the name however.

The enchant song mentioned was "Paint the picture"...which sounds like Rush's "Xanadu"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most are just similar of course... But some just seem like Plagiarism (Or "Homages")

And yeah...That is what I have found (That hasn't been said before)
It kind of bothers me...but it never turns me away from any of the bands...

Gonna  pick on  ITBITES  ,    !!!    The  track    Whole   New   World  is   a  very  similar  chorus   to   YES  track  Time  and  a   word ,   And  dont  get  me  started  on   M ARILLION     I E     Market  Square  Heroes  beats  the   GENESIS  cliche  barrier  at    a    spurious  rate..

See what you mean. Parts of "Rhayader Goes to Town" does sound similar to the Jamming-part of "Echoes".
But not THAT similar.

Sugar  Mice    guitar  solo   just  copies  and   pastes   Floyds   Mother . So  the  moral  seems  to  be  wait  for  the  30   year   anniversary  with  the  extra  track  that  wasnt  on  the  last  five  releases of  the  album !

Hey guys has anybody noticed the similarity between the final 20 seconds of "Parabola" by Tool and the harmonic intro to "Roundabout"? It's strikingly similar, and I'm not really sure whether Tool would be Yes fans or not, but it almost sounds like an homage to them.

Harvest of souls(2004) by IQ has parts that sound like Gates of Delirium(1974) by Yes.

One I just Found Today, perhaps it's some traditional Folk type Melody But. Theophany by Proto Kaw at 1:30
Sounds Like Iron Maiden's The Legacy, the recurring Melody after 3:22

The same goes for Opeth's "Black Rose Immortal" at 2:17 compared to The intro of "The Battle or Waterloo" By Running Wild

I´ve been listening to The perfect element - Part 1 by Pain of Salvation in the last days

The Epic off of Nosound's "Lightdark" has a part in the middle like PT's "The Sky Moves Sideways, Phase Two"

They also mention PT as an Influence.
