It has happened to me. The instance that comes to mind is over 30 years ago I (thought I) came up with a progression I liked.
I played it for one of my musician buddies and said "What do you think of this? You like it enough that you think I should try to make a song out of it?"
He said: "Yup. And Bob Seger was probably thinking the same thing when he used it to write 'Still The Same'."
...I slowly played through the progression again and--AAARRGHH!!
