The Beatles - "Don't Bother Me" (1963)

The rhythm guitar is really nice on this - perhaps a bit of a precursor to the rhythm part on "I Feel Fine."

Klaatu - "Dear Christine" (1978)

Simplicity emerging out of progressivism, not as a retro style but as structural pristinity.

With only two verses, this song's nearly four minute duration comes primarily from repetitions of its beautiful chorus.

The Paley Brothers - "Too Good to Be True" (1978)

Here, it's the guitars that turn a fairly simple power pop song into a bit of a tour de force. Really unique and pleasant mixture of parts and tones, right through to the closing.
