Thread Name: If the majority like it - it's mediocre!
Subject: RE: If the majority like it - it's mediocre!
Gratuitous assertion. The fact is that a song gets popular, in many cases, because it is a wonderful song. Examples: The Dutchman, Dublin in the Rare Old Times, Green Fields of France, etc. It is also true that many popular songs are very mediocre, but they have a hook that just catches folks. But these songs die quick and become trivia information.
