what makes a good song....

what makes a good song?

different strokes for different fo'kes.

look at some of the best selling and most played songs of all time....

"smells like teen spirit" by nirvana
"enter sandman" by metallica
"hey jude" by the beatles
"ring of fire" by johnny cash
"proud mary" by ccr

what do they all have in common....

they make you want to sing-a-long or in the case of nirvana, mumble along.

my favorite songs fall in this vein as well.....

"remedy" by david crowder*band
"overkill" by colin hay
"tiny dancer" by elton john
"flood" by jars of clay
"blinded" by third eye blind
"afternoons and coffeespoons" by the crash test dummies
"sorry wrong trajectory" by flickerstick
