Tbh, I feel like this something that is more common that people would expect. And you know, for most cases, I don't think it's really even intentional!
Even the other day on
@Jamie London thread about ''a song that touched your soul'', the song he shared, ''Forever'' by The Beach boys, had a very similar chord progression with ''Ordinary Man'' by Ozzy Osbourne.
I feel like we all get influence not only consciously but also subconsciously and also that there are bound to be multiple people around the globe thinking about the same notes in the same order! But at the same time, there will always be something unique that each individual artist will bring in to those chord progression that will make each song stand on their own and in a way, that's the beauty of music!
