How To Write A Four Chord Loop

Four-chord loops are easy, right? Well, not necessarily: Simplicity can be deadly, after all. It's true that you don't have a lot of decisions to make, but you also don't have anywhere to hide, so making an entire song work with just four chords can be a daunting task, especially once you move past the most famous examples which, let's face it, are kind of overused at this point. But Radiohead managed it with Creep, and plenty of other bands have made really cool songs with unconventional four-chord loops too, so... how?
