The Classics: Pachelbel's Cannon and Journey

I was a bit dismayed to find out from LB at 3 Ring Binder that the melody from Eric Carmen's pop song, "All By Myself" was taken straight from my beloved Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto.  I really don't care if he stole it or it was subconscious or it was a coincedence - I just hope I don't associate the two forever.

It did get Adam and me talking about copyright infringement in music and Adam found these two hilarious videos, showing how common some chord progressions really are.

  1. All right, you got me back. I will never be able to listen to my beloved Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" the same way again!
