Guitar Lesson: What chords should I learn first?

So what chords do you learn to start playing the guitar immediately? Everybody has their opinions, and they’re all great, but I think in general there are 5 that stand out in my mind, as crucial to learn in the beginning. This is the one of the first guitar lessons I teach to any beginner.
So what are they? Keep reading and all will be revealed.
Let’s go ahead and state that I’ m talking about pop music here. Things may change for different musical styles, but I don’t think too much. Basically for blues, classic rock, and pop, these are the ones I recommend.

G
Am
Em
