It's gonna happen, there are only a finite number of musical notes.
I certainly hear the Boston Nirvana similarities but the songs are still completely different in almost every way. That's not plagiarism in my view.
There are some musicians that have made a pretty tidy sum from blatant plagiarism.
Andrew Lloyd Webber would be nought but a humble music teacher if he hadnt ripped off almost every great composer to 'write' his musicals.
There are however some bands that manage to cover other artists and still manage to make that cover so unique as to be their own.
I give you...
