21 Songs that use Pachelbel's Canon chord progression

Whether in its original form, or with slight adjustment, the chord progression used throughout Johann Pachelbel's "Canon in D" has been repurposed into numerous pop songs, and Peter Waterman even claims that Canon is "the godfather of all pop music".
