Thanks UT!

I know there is really nothing new under the sun, and at some point a lot of songs will use the same notes, but musically, UT's answer was what I was wondering: WHAT makes them sound so much alike to me, a non-music scholar.

Thanks for your responses!

And, of course, there are many songs based on the Pachelbel's Canon in D:

If they use the same chord progressions, they're going to sound very similar.
