Good question! For me the music has to have some momentum to it as I primarily listen to music on long runs or at the gym so I agree that it has to sound good and not be the type of music that you will get sick of quick. A couple of songs that don't fit this mold that I can think of are : RAA : Frank, Ab

and Patrick Watson : Big Bird in a Small Cage

At first these songs aren't the best sounding songs ever but they are harder to shake as they are lyrically a couple of the more interesting songs I have heard this year. Hayden is also an amazing song writer but the music can be a bit boring yet I still listen to stuff he wrote in the 90's and it still sounds good today. Well written and never overplayed. Most of the over played music today is not well written. So I guess a bit of both for me
...I have some mindless candy that I listen to just to mix it up but the most interesting artists have the most interesting lyrics for sure! Anyone else use that songmeanings.net site?
