Not many ONE-chord tunes, but that was a good quick summary. "Run Through the Jungle" (CCR), "Everyday People" (Sly Stone) both had the magic hook.

Trick question?: How many chords are there in a typical Rap song? (and I use "song" as loosely as I can.)

"One chord is fine. Two chords is pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz." -- Lou Reed

HA! Great line.

And then there's those signature hooks, riffs, solos, and duel-firing axes categories which make those one-two chord tunes *sound* almost like an orchestra. Especially if there's a keyboardist in the band.
