As I was persuing* the mountain of lists for best power pop albums of 2012, one album I kept seeing at or near the top was American chappy Cliff Hillis' Dream Good. That got me interested, so I had a quick listen to the songs. The start of one of them was very reminiscent of a 1985 song by an Australian band that gets me into trouble whenever I mention them by name. (For this coincidence I'll give the band and the song pseudonyms.)
Compare and contrast the beginning of each song:
Cliff Hillis - "Ways And Means" (2012) (excerpt)

De Finals - "Gee A Teen Day" (1985) (excerpt)

Here are the full versions:

(*"Persuing"? Try "perusing", Peter.)
