John Lennon's shortest complete song--by far:

You forgot about Lennon's "Nutopian International Anthem". 3 seconds, shortest Lennon song ever. Certainly simple, but I'm nto going to claim "brilliant".
5 pages in I can't believe nobody has listed "The Letter" by The Boxtops. 1 minutes 59 seconds of brilliance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQaUs5J2wdIDon't think it was mentioned, but "You Really Got Me" by the Kinks is a good example.
Nothing by Elizabeth Cotton or Mississippi John Hurt?

For a "polished" Freight Train
"Mystery Dance" being the best of them...

Elvis Costello has a whole bunch of them.
as a beginning guitar player, I am learnign how songs are constructed - one of the amazing things is how simple some of the best songs are. Just G, C, D, often just back and forth G to C with a little D or EM as a kicker.
Denver's Jet Plane, Stones' Country Honk, Old Crow's Wagon Wheel, even The Sounds of Silence and CCR's Who'll stop the rain - these songs sounds complex but they aren't.
wizardry.
St John, The Gambler...Townes Van Zandt
Samba Pa Ti... Santana
Sleep Walk...Santo And Johnny
I Threw It All Away....Dylan
I'll Follow The Sun by the Beatles. Simple, lovely, and less than
2 minutes in length.

Little Wing simple? Yeah right...
Love Me Do- Beatles
redneck crazy - tyler farr
Waterloo Sunset, Well Respected Man... The Kinks are a good band for this. A lot of early Beatles stuff.
"We Will Rock You" by Queen - heinously overplayed but fits the description.
+1 on Elvis Costello[quote]michael furey wrote:
