 @smart patrol:  let me know when you finish your tune, and we can swap! (I got a tune that's all in B).
it is allready done by Rick Davies Wink (a Supertramp fanboy as myself should know such

"Cannonball" is the opening track from Supertramp's 1985 album Brother Where You Bound. It was written and sung by keyboardist Rick Davies entirely in the chord of G. Davies stated in an interview "I did it simply to see if it could be done".
 
Alright, I'm gonna do it in F#, then

^ They were discussing writing a song that has only one chord. Get it? So after F# the next chord is ... F#.

I know nothing about "music theory" or whatever.  I only know what I like.

Most "Ridiculous"? Louie Louie sounds pretty ridiculous after about 30 seconds.

By The Kingsmen? It sounds the same throughout.

I can think of no better example, anywhere.


I tried playing air guitar to the arpeggio section. Being the lazy bum that I am, I only lasted about a third of the way tops before my arm started to hurt.

A small lovely multilayered progression is that by Brian May at the beginning and the end of A Day At The Races where the clever "looping" of the high pitch fading out with the low pitch fading in creates the illusion that the pitch is continuously going up.

I always felt Tulls 'Aqualung' has ridiculous chord changes and I tried to play them on guitar and they are complex


from memory

Gm F Eb F Ab Gm D and thats just the verse


also the chords of Yes', Close to the Edge and Starship Trooper are weird
Yet Yes are not always complex for eg Owner of a Lonely Heart has the repeated riff throughout of 
A BC DD GG, A BC DD GG, A BC DD GG, A BC DD GD, A BC DD G, A BC DD G
