Who needs three chords?
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?

I always figured that to be "Sister Ray" minus "the cool chord" (not a criticism).

Hey, that's me! But I reckon my life would be poorer if there were no rhythm changes.
In jazz and jazz harmony, "rhythm changes" refers to the 32 bar chord progression occurring in George Gershwin's song "I Got Rhythm". The progression uses an AABA form, with each A section based on repetitions of the ubiquitous I-VI-ii-V sequence (or variants such as iii-VI-ii-V), and the B section using a circle of fifths sequence based on III7-VI7-II7-V7, a progression which is sometimes given passing chords. This pattern, "one of the most common vehicles for improvisation," forms the basis of countless (usually uptempo) jazz compositions and was popular with swing-era and Bebop musicians.

I have NO IDEA what most of that means, but I know it when I hear it.
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Re: The best chord progression
I love this much underused chord progression.

That's a great example because the chords sound like they're going up and down at the same time.
