The whole reason I listen to music is for the lyrics; I love lyrics with a meaning that isn't directly put out there. Bands like the Spill Canvas have songs that at first glance are about love, but looking deeper there meanings extend far past simple romance. Thus, songs that shallowly advertise their meaning carry little appeal with me. Examples of such songs are as follows:
1. "Story of a Girl" by 9 Days. The beat is repetitive, and lacks any musical complexity. Worse than that, its lyrics lack the poetry that makes some songs so good.
2. "Sadie Hawkins Dance" by Reliant K. Again, the lyrics and beat are droningly repetitive. The lyrics don't even attempt to possess meaning beyond being literal.
3."Dinosaur" By Ke$ha. Horrible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRW9AM9sGxY
4. "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse. I love her voice, but she used it as the only focus of the song. RIP.
5. "Never Say Never" by Justin Bieber. His ability to make teenage girls swoon is beyond me. If empty lyrics and high pitched voice equal success, then good music must be more obscure then I thought.
