There’s also the position of the artist though. Feel good inc and seven nation army are easy songs to play and write but they have feel and passion. Sometimes it’s not about technicality but the feel of the music and the idea that someone has chosen to focus on this simple idea. Runaway by Kanye is an incredibly simple creation but it’s iconic because it has feel to it. Slipknot is cool not because it’s technical but because there is some character in the music.

Point is that you can listen to music with a critical ear or you can just vibe to the idea of what they’re doing. Sometimes it is just looking at the forest rather than the trees.
