Yes, they sound the same.

Except for the fact that they're completely different.

As unlikely as it seems, Jerry Jeff Walker's Mr. Bojangles is remarkably similar to Billy Joel's Piano man, too.

AND, "Take The Money And Run"! Back in 1978 we did a "Who says all Top 40 music sounds the same" medley of "Werewolves...", "Sweet Home..." and "Take The Money and Run".

Now, 30 years later, Kid Rock has a hit with that same medley...

I'll give you the first two but nothing sounds like Stairway.

Speaking of SHA, it's really just a lame (IMO) version of Your Time Is Gonna Come from Led Zeppelin I.

If you ever listen to any doo wop music, the abuse of the I vi IV V progression is criminal.

Chord progression maybe (don't know it exactly), but the rhythm is totally different, lots of dead notes and stuff.
