I dont think its about how simple the changes are, or how complicated the progression is or how often it is used.Good music could mean someone using one chord or throwing everything but the kitchen sink in a tune.But I seem to be attracted to good songwriting and well performed pieces ,rather than songs that are more or less a platform for a musician to show everyone how fast he can play,or how many tricks he can do.I would rather listen to Hubert S. with Howling Wolf do Smoke Stack Lightning than,,,,,,,,,well,any number of the so called super players. Some folks can make 3 chords sound so good.Having said this,I also Love Steely Dan,Early Yes,Frank Zappa,Jaco,many busy players.
Best Artists/Tracks at Chord Changing
Sometimes I find myself listening to Tom Petty and wondering why I like him so much. Then I realized that I love his rhythmic chord changes. A couple of tracks come to mind: Rebels and I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better. Then, of course, there is American Girl (even the Taylor Swift cover is good). Others?
