Good logic, but for you it's the opposite of what KilldaDJ said? 'but' and 'damn right' confused me there.

No, techno is the kind of music Rodri Santos can't listen to for hours without drinking or taking drugs. Stop posting, you fucking moron.

Actually, when I hear a track I like, the thing which sticks in my head all day mostly is the melody (unfortunately this happens also with tracks I don't like...).

i just read a David Mamet book where he claims that in music, the beat/bassline is much more important and memorable. But the book was about drama and story structure, so take it FWIW.

I listen to a lot of driving tech house, so the melodies are scarce.

You've never listened to Techno in your life.
