I vote catchy... easier to get into and much fun to listen to, which is why I pretty much compare all cd's I buy this year to Copeland's "In Motion" which has to be a collection of the catchiest songs I've ever heard, and they have the tendency to get stuck in my head from the moment I wake up to when I go to sleep. Eisley also has tons of catchy elements, I mean Golly Sandra is easily their catchiest song. _________________

It depends what mood I'm in. Sometimes I just want to buy a CD and automatically enjoy it. I don't want to have to guess or listen to it 5 times, I want to automatically hear it and say, "This is fun" But it's always a nice surprise when you buy a CD and don't care for it, bt after a few listens it becomes one of your favorites. _________________ my name's carrie and i love a good sandwich so if you have a sandwich, come roll with me!

subtle. I had to wait for Radiohead. It needed a few full spins. |

Depends entirely on the mood that I am in at the moment. Although I tend to choose subtle more often. _________________ Thistledown |

A good song is subtly catchy. But catchy is more important. |

I had to wait for Radiohead. It needed a few full spins. heck yes. It depends... Usually I prefer subtle, because it means that the album will be listened to more often and then it was worth it, take any Radiohead CD. However, a catchy band, such as Hot Hot Heat, I will only listen to when I want an instant "pick-me-up: I'm going out" effect. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

presidentofantarctica wrote: A good song is subtly catchy. But catchy is more important. I think I agree with this. I love subtle songs that might take a few listens for you to really realize their genius. But I also love catchy songs, that are easy to sing and instantly enjoyable. Some songs are catchy but over-done. Like something you have heard a thousand times. A really good song is subtly catchy. _________________ -Brooke |
