Heroin by the Velvet Underground is I - IV. Also Molly's Lips by the Vaselines (Nirvana Cover). Ceremony by Joy Division (New Order) is the perfect I - V song. Transmission only uses two chords as well.

Stapleton's cover of Tennessee Whiskey (which was originally recorded by David Allen Coe) sounds nothing like the original and is instead a direct ripoff of Etta's amazing song. To my knowledge he has given her ZERO credit, but it is almost the exact same musical bed.

Could that sound any more like Bob Dylan? ("Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right"...).

First song I ever learned in guitar with my guitar teacher was Horse with no name. It was a MASSIVE confidence booster for me as I previously had only learned chords out of a book. Being 7 years old and playing along with a massively well known song I felt like I was on top of the world. After playing that I was off to the races, I remember the next week coming to my guitar teacher begging him to teach me Comfortably Numb and 12 years later I’ve never put a guitar down!

Sorry Springsteen is not that good and I live in NJ. His biggest hit was a Hollies cover, and I don’t mean Long Cool Woman. That would have been cool. He also covered a lot of Beatles in his early days. OK I’ll give you I’m on fire, I think that’s the name of it. Hey little girl is your daddy home? That’s effing perfect 🤣 I remember listening to him at asbury park dive bars - when the only thing I drank was a tequila sunrise, lots of them, usually with a hit of Lysergic acid acid diethyl amide. Springsteen fans give me douche chills, especially D bags who “discovered” him in the 80s.

I'd call "Paperback Writer" a two chord I IV song, although it's mostly a one chord song. It does cheat a little with the flat 7th in the riff, but you could say it's G7 and C. It cheats more with the acapella paperback writer part having a G F D kind of a singing thing going on. My songbook has it in the key of G and naturals the F# everywhere, but could a person say the key is C, and that the whole song is spent in tension trying to resolve to C, and only does for that little bit, and is a V I song? Maybe it's modal, with whatever mode starts with the G note, I forget... Edit: I went and looked. Mixolydian.

And there's other versions of his also. He was and still is in my heart that one of my favorite musicians composers poet whatever you want to tag you want to put on it I'll just put that he was an amazing man musically and the story of his life. He always used to talk about his Jewish grandmother no it's Jewish mother who from not mistaken outlived him by just a very short time. But yeah you know he wrote that song when he was in high school. He wrote heroin when he was in high school could you imagine. One of my favorite songs of his because not only can I ID with him a culturally I am also Jewish as was Lou Reed but the I had my own less traveled road down that path. And I can understand I can feel I can emote with him on every verse of that song. As I do with John Lennon's cold turkey. You have to have done it I think to write about stuff like that in such ways that touch people in many different ways that have never gone down that road and especially for people who have gone down that road. I am one of the few and I don't say that with any kind of exaggeration of people and of dear friends that are still working still walking this Earth without heroin in my substance I'm 62 I can say that I've been off of that junk which is also called Homer in Hebrew which means junk for a very long time and let me tell you it wasn't easy it was a fight every day of my life whether on it or off it or in between but God seen I guess I could say God is a sore to it or had planned it that that would not be my epitaph.

And I love your opinion. You pointed out my whole philosophical approach to music. One must keep it simple while the more talented one tells the story and that is just the instruments. Sometimes music must include singing but it's rare when the singing makes the song when you look at the art form as a whole. That's why those great sing-alongs are so great. Alas, I am not a singer, sure everybody sings in church but when misunderstand importance the lead singer to make the song great. Me I? I like banging on a piano loud and hard or bending that pitch on a synthesizer that pulls you way out into space and snap you right back or yanking on the strings have a nice acoustic guitar and pulling out the feedback you never thought existed on some electrics that is where I make the show at least on my part interesting. Unless there's a more talented soloist artist singer musician with me and I gave him all the choices possible as I am so great at identifying the two chords needed to satisfy whatever the demands at the time are demanding. So much more fun to express myself that way then be missing all notes or I mean and to be missing some notes all the time with my voice.
