The vast majority of popular music is simple.

not when you're talking about rap music.
personally, rap artists are the most difficult to mimic.

You can get good simplicity and bad simplicity, just like you can get good complexity and bad complexity.

of coz

but when you're eschewing songwriting abilities for a pretty much throwaway song just so you can have a mega-hit, and only to stick in people's head, I frown upon

That depends on how you define 'song writing abilities' and 'throwaway song'. It's a well constructed disco song which is still popular, many would say it is one of the best disco songs they did. It has a great groove, is catchy and has a good production which the vocals fit quite well too.

"The life pursuit" and "Dear catastrophe waitress" are not only the best albums by Belle & Sebastian, but their only good ones. People who laud them (are crazy, since B&S are not exactly the kind of band that you laud, but I digress). Starting over; people who dig them tend to think that whatever they did before "Waitress" are their main reason for existence. I just think their earlier albums are duller than gravel.

Guns N' Roses is one of the greatest bands of all time.
