"Any song is better than none. "

ummm...well....if the only song anyone was willing to play for me was "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", I'd just as soon listen to traffic noise, thankyouverymuch.

I like a song that is well 'crafted', like, perhaps "Lorena"..with no lame, awkward phrases that seem to be there because the author couldn't seem to think of anything else.......and if it has a tune that doesn't wear on you after 3 listenings, so much the better. Many Scots ballads and tunes are good examples. Many modern 'navel gazing' songs are bad examples, as they are often just chanted sentences about introspective musings. (Kate Wolf did this about as well as it can be done...a lot of the others trying to follow her are pretty shallow.)
