How Come' by Ray Lamontagne is one of the best examples of a great two-chord song. The verse and the chorus are both the exact same two chords.

Absolutely!

John Coltrane - Impressions
Both are based on the same progression.
Dm7 Dm7 Ebm7 Dm7
This was a revolutionary concept at the time and has become know as modal jazz. Check it out. Very cool.

No. A great song needs 3 chords minimum.

Yeah.... I love Starsailor's "Silence is Easy" and it only uses 2 chords throughout the song. Less is more, in this case. And it's a great song

"The End" by The Doors, I believe has two chords Dm7 and C...
