2 5 1s, often written down with roman numerals (ii V I) are potentially the most powerful chord progression for quickly and smoothly modulating to and from any key. On top of that, they just sound so satisfying and jazzy. From Coltrane to The Beatles to Maroon 5 you can find 2 5 1s in every corner of popular music!
