I'm one of those music snobs that very rarely likes a cover song more than I like the original, especially when it comes to the Beatles.

The Quick 10: 10 of the Most-Covered Songs Ever

But music theorists have long known that there's something else that ties these disparate musical forms together.

And their chord progressions tend to be efficient, changing as few notes, by as little as possible, from one chord to the next.
