I liked there BirdPlane song......"More than a bird, more than a plane.... I'm a fuckin Birdplane"..lol.

 

[KurtisRich]

It's the same progressions used in Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. That progressions is used in many many many popular songs.

That's crazy how many tracks the 4 chords cover.


That Lighthouse Family track and Eagle Eyed Cherry track are the shit though.

Damn that...it's so simple that it's complex.....

 

[Relic]

lol, thats fuckin amazing.....

 

[God]

They didn't do Green Day's "When I Come Around."

The other golden four chord progression (maybe someone will agree with me) is:
1. Am - F - G - E.
2. G - D - C - Am

Any three chord variation of these also golden, ask Bob Dylan, Third Eye Blind, Nirvana, Green Day, Jimmy Eat World - any R&B song - and Guns N' Roses.

Good look OminousRed.

first off those three white dudes at like 3:12 was type gay, michael jackson's man in the mirror wasn't done in that key as i can recall, and that one dude that look like prince and edgar allen poe bumped uglies was kinda greazy and creepy.

But damn i aint no that one chord progression generalized pop culture so much, we need to break out those modal scales like the olden days.
