I want my G7sus4

The last time I heard an interesting new chord in a pop song was around the release of Hunky Dory in 1971. Try playing "Life on Mars" and you know what I'm talking about.

The only bright spots I can think of since then were Nik Kershaw ("The Riddle" is more complicated than you think) and Crowded House ("Into Temptation" has all the forms of minor chords I can think of).

Thanks to the software all the major record companies are using, all the chords you hear in pop music will have three notes only and our brains will get smaller.
