Are you impressed by a million notes per second or simple songs that are really catchy?

Question

I think that most simple songs are much better.

Answer 1

I greatly appreciate the talent and the inspiration it takes to write a complex musical composition,and the technical proficiency it takes to play it.That doesn't mean that I can't either enjoy or appreciate as well much simpler melodies that move me,nor does it mean that I like pretentious 45-minute solos,when they're not inspired but simply written so the artist can show off.

But I could never turn my back to good art,perhaps more difficult to get than pop sometimes,simply because there are pretentious people out there.

Answer 2

Simple and catchy, every time.

So many talented musicians succumb to the soulless million notes a second thing. It's kind of sad.

Answer 3

I'm impressed by an amazing song with great melody, solos and force. The speed is not important if you don't have the emotion and melody linked to it.

EDIT: Oh! And Smells Like Teen Spirit is such a simple song. Yet, it has become one of the most legendary songs in history...

Answer 4

I like all kinds of songs.

Simple and fast beat.

My favorite is Vital Signs.

=)

Answer 5

Some Techno songs with overload are ok..

But the in flames sortof stuff with  too much in it is just noise!

Simple songs!

Answer 6

Simple, but complex. Speed is great, if it's used right (Muse, Van Halen, Joe Satriani), but it has to be good before speed.
