I just recently started to really get into ear training, and I now know the basic how to find out which chords are used. But I was wondering if somebody could recommed any songs or bands which are perfect for a beginger to start learning by hear. I know that blues so be a good place to start, but I dont know which songs would be best.
I am mostly looking for I-IV-V progression chord songs

I don't know what style of era of music you enjoy. But I can recommend these artists for early rock songs to learn.
The Beatles (mostly early stuff)
Buddy Holly
Chuck Berry
Beach Boys
Can't go wrong with that stuff! :) Very straight forward chord progressions, song structures and clear melodies.
Blues is good for chords & melodies.
BB King
Jimmy Reed
Elmore James
Stevie Ray Vaughan
A lot of showtunes that were turned into jazz standards are also fun to learn.
Gershwin
Ellington
Berlin
Rogers & Hammerstein
That stuff has GREAT melodies & chord progressions, but is typically a little more complex.
Hope his helps! Have fun!
