Song like BOB? try "Send it to me".

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

"Sweet Jane" has one of the simplest chord progressions ever, yet it is copied or altered time and time again by so many different bands. It is so simple but it hits so hard and is instantly recognized. That Bm that Lou reed threw in there makes all the difference. A true classic.

Keith himself called "Almost Hear You Sigh" the cousin of "Beast Of Burden".

Happy.

D'oh! Well I'm properly embarrassed. You got me MB! Serves me right for not payintg attnetion!

Chris - what you were probably thinking to yourself is "sometimes the chord change you don't make is the best one." Just tryin' to help you save face, buddy....

do you know of many songs with no chord changes ?

I think Bo Diddley wrote a couple of one-chord songs. And probably Zappa did as well.

Although a great riff, I wouldn't call that a chord progression.

Many, many John Lee Hooker "songs" are one-chorders

This prize belongs to the Beatles, no doubt about it.

"got to be worked on
don't have no bark nor bite..."

one chord songs :

Claptons Little Rachel...

I'm Only Sleeping off Revolver I think. My 5 year old nephew goes into a trance when he hears my brother or I play it. On piano or acoustic. The G-Am-Bm-Am-Asomething part.

Little Wing has a beautiful chord progression (IMHO).

I Whole- heartedly agree.

My first thought was Time Waits for No One and Waiting on a Friend.

But I'd have to go with Little Wing as well.

the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler!

I already mentioned "I was Maid To love her". after hearing stevie wonders version of "I dont know why" I realized this song has a similar, but altered pattern.

THe thing about this topic is that I'll just start naming every single song I like...

another comment Id like to make is that even though songs can share a similar chord progression, or identical progression, the way their played and recorded can give them a completley different feel. just my opinion though. like the chords of "beast". i think its a pretty unique song although similar chords have been used in other songs.
