This thread is awesome. That is my opinion.
Blow yer' harmonica son
Nirvana sucks. That is all.
Green Grass and High Tides can go jump in a lake and DIE.
I cannot stand overly simplistic synthetic rhythm sections. One reason I hate pop so much. There's just no depth, so when I dive into the music, expecting some measure of complexity, I end up cracking my head open on the bottom relatively quickly because of how shallow it sounds. With a simple rhythm section, I can at least wrap my head around drum sound and which drums are being hit along with distinguishing a bass line from the mix. With most pop tunes, there's NOTHING for me to grasp. It's all too clean, simple and emotionless and that sound is like nails against a chalkboard to me (which, in retrospect, might be better since it could be used well as ambience).
Oh, by the way, nice title, there, a21Schizoidman a.k.a. the "Prog-nosticator", haha

I don't like overly technical pieces of music. Most extremely technical musicians sound like emotionless robots to me; in my opinion, there's little point in playing music if you can't play from your heart, and not from your brain.
I'm one of them "there is beauty in simplicity" folks.

i typically lean towards the more simplistic/minimalist stuff, but neither particularly jump out at me when listening to music unless that's there is to it (in which case i probably hate it).
that said, when recording my own music i tend to go with layering a possibly excessive amount of tracks over one another because while i'm definitely not a perfectionist, i do have LOTS of trouble deciding that something is "done".
my latest recordings have caused me to really focus on keeping things more stripped-down, along with trying to sing and not coat my voice in effects.

I have nothing against simplicity. Simplicity can be beautiful, but in the context of pop, its emotionless, mechanical simplicity.
