    What criteria could you use?
     
    I have a much simpler solution for you...
     
    Chord progressions are not under copyright so you could "borrow" any chord progression you like the sound of
     
    If you hear one you like just simply google the song title followed by the word "chords" and voila
     
    Just be careful not to "borrow" melody lines or lyrics and you will be fine
     
    The Groove3 songwriting theory video covers a good range of chord progressions and their uses so I would suggest getting this rather than software

    TAXI recommend this program. Lyrics. Work out your own chords. More fun and you won't sound the same as everyone else. The lyrics will often suggest the melodies and hence the chords.
