I am a very new older fan but I have to say I fucking LOVE this album. I love the rock feel to it and a the little riffs they have pulled from 80's rock songs. These are the ones I can easily hear, let me know if you noticed any others....
Best Song Ever - clearly samples the Who's Baba O'Reilly in the intro
Diana - totally has a Police/Sting vibe but I'm not sure if they sample a particular song maybe Don't stand so close to me...but It also reminds me of Don Henley's Boy's of Summer
Midnight Memories - Def Leppard's Pour some sugar on me (love it -my karaoke song lol)
You and I - Bryan Adam's Heaven
Does He Know - Rick Springfield's Jessie's Girl
Those are the obvious ones to me, but I also hear some Mumford & Sons, Blink 182, The killers, The Rolling Stones influences here and there too. I just love it. How about you guys...am I missing any?

I really love the musical influences/riffs/samples you pointed out.
For some reason, this album reminds me of Mylène Farmer's "Anamarphosée". This album has alot of rock influences, but I wouldn't compare it to the level of Midnight Memories.
And also in the intro for Best Song Ever, (which I do agree it sounds like Baba O'Reilly), for some reason as well it reminds me of the intro in Desenchantée by Mylène Farmer (again lol).
I don't know it's just me. Haha.
