| The most wanted song |

Erika posted a link of facebook about the least wanted song, which links to the most wanted song. They surveyed people on what the best aspects of the best music were, and combined them all together.
My concern is, why are these things the best aspects of the best music? :
"This "most wanted" version combines the elements the 500 people surveyed said they wanted most -- love, soprano sax, humble ambition, tenor sax, a marriage proposal, cheesy electronic drum fills, working the night shift, string swells, power chords, and saccharine male/female harmonies -- into an easy listening-style adult contemporary sound that could peel the paint off of the Space Shuttle."
really. REALLY? I agree with power chords. That's it.
My favorite aspects of favorite music:
-uniqueness (incorporating strange tones or rhythms in an otherwise predictable song)
-deceptive cadences
-heart-rending, slow building climaxes
-drums
-more instruments than guitar/bass/drums/vocals
-leitmotif
-god, I really need to study.
