the sound of it gives me goosebumps...If I play a C major (and I play that chord a lot :) ) it never occurs to me to play a C minor right next to it.
I love when that's done tastefully too. Great example off the top of my head: Space Oddity by David Bowie.

It was a special moment to me when I discovered the simplicity behind the beauty of "Brain Damage":
The lunatic is on the grass/The lunatic is on the grass/Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs/Got to keep the loonies on the path/

D/G7/D/G7/D/E/A7/D/

Many songs from "The Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" show Pink Floyd as masters of simple progressions.

Two of my favorites are the Beatles' Here, There and Everywhere and In My Life. In My Life has that cool major minor shift that ozwatto likes so much while Here, There and Everywhere is just gorgeous period.
