The verses of Styx’s “Suite Madam Blue” are the same progression in a different key (B minor, if memory serves). The vocal melody bears a striking resemblance to “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”

Excellent! I’ll be sure to add this one.

The outro riff from Cafe Tacvba’s “Esta Vez” actually uses the EXACT same riff as ‘Babe I’m Gonna Leav You’ just in a different key. Its still a wicked song by a wicked band, but the influence is obvious.

I don’t hear the Ray Charles similarity. Some people seem to be getting stuck on the idea that the songs in question only have a descending bass line in common. This is wrong. They have a descending chord progression that definitely doesn’t drop in the typically scaled fashion of ‘Hit The Road Jack’ at all.

I don’t know why, but I always thought “Last Resort” from Papa Roach always sounded similar to these riffs as well. Particularly “Brain Stew” from Green Day.
