Then there's the technique that's often used by Peter Gabriel where the 
loop
stays the same, but gets processed in varying ways throughout the song. 
Good
examples are Peter's "San Jacinto" and Laurie Anderson's "Oh Superman."
Very simple loops can work with a little processing, and/or interesting
chord changes going on in support of the loop.
