There's a classic rock sound that both these songs' guitar riffs sound like. I can't quite remember it.

When I hear Baltimore, I feel like I hear an older Prince song, but cannot place it. It is more specific to the guitar riff at the beginning ...... can anyone help or guess? For the life of me I cannot place it! At first I thought Steely Dan, Hey Nineteen, it's close but I know there is an older Prince song...... Help!

try 'when you were mine'

Shit, should we start a "When You Were Mine is a massive rip off of Sarah by Thin Lizzy" thread?

^ No thanks.. (haha).....

You guys should listen to "Emerald" by Thin Lizzy..... I would love to hear Prince cover that. Brilliant and some great guitar riffs in it. Would be incredible to hear him play it live.

The guitar melody at the beginning of Baltimore is almost exactly the guitar melody from Alexis de Paris.

Damn, that too? How about a thread called "Alexa de Paris is a massive rip off of Sarah by Thin Lizzy, dammit prince you thief, you've been found out! This time we mean business"

maybe it's this melody... "I can see clearly now, the rain has gone..."
