This one's for the musicians out there. (By the way, in my purely anecdotal experience, musical aptitude appears to have a higher-then-expected representation amongst stats folks. I however am the exception that proves the rule, as anyone who's suffered through my Rock Band vocals can attest. But I digress.) What do the chords C#minor, A, E and B have in common? Quite a lot, as it turns out. Australian comedy group Axis of Awesome explain. (Some language NSFW.)
how about the same thing, funnier, with more perspective...

Hi,
you made a mistake your chords are not working : F# B C#m A or C G Am F is easier.

The progression looks right to me...Nice post! I'm waiting for R and lilypond.org communities to come together to explore new musical complexities.. :-) Someone could easily study the relationship of p(chord progression) to genre, style, tempo, etc...! Here's a nice link discussing overused chord progressions, circa 2000: http://everything2.com/title/Overused+chord+progressions -Avram

Since these are the chords to "Don't Stop Believin", "Under the Bridge" and "With or Without You" the must be C#minor, A, E and B, actually: E | B7 | C#m | A |
