Consider me persuaded

Now, I'll admit that I've complained about the fact that popular music pretty much all sounds the same these days, but when listening to a YouTube video last night, I was reminded that for a period of time in the 1950s, quite a lot of music was written with the verses and/or choruses sung against the I-vi-IV-V chord progression.

But despite the clichéd harmonic structure, it's funny how good those four simple chords can sound, if sung by the right people.
