I never realized how these chord progressions repeated in so many classic pop hits. This compilation is performed by The Axis of Awesome. Check out their live version after watching the version below.

Is it any wonder that the majority of those songs sucked too?

Though, to be fair, there are probably thousands of songs that utilize the E, A, E, A, B, A, E chord progression (or some variation), which is a standard blues/rock riff and definitely does not suck, if in the right hands.
