The advantage of only spending your leisure time doing activities you find interesting, Rjinnx, is that you never inflict boredom on yourself. For example, I am never bored listening to music or reading posts here, because I only listen to songs and read posts that I enjoy.

Like giving songs a chance by stopping half way?

I keep returning to my assertion that drug usage and happily listening to long songs go together. This time spurred on by mention of The E.N.D. (by The Black Eyed Peas) and in turn the mysterious popularity of club music, where many of the patrons are on something. Anyone want to admit to doing that? When under the influence, do lyrics lose importance? (I've never been under the influence, strictly speaking.)

i feel that is a rather rude assertion....i love long songs and i love lyrical content and i do not use drugs at all....

Another long song that benefits from editing: "Shout," by Tears for Fears.

Re the band's "whopping 24 times" repeating the line "Sowing the Seeds of Love," it raises the point that the simpler a refrain is, the most irritating it is likely to be as the minutes of the song go by.

I see this thread has plummeted to new depths of stupidity.

This is a typical generalization by a troll. You also failed to repond when Bob challenged it.
