Uhh, so you're saying popularity is a true gauge of how good a song is? Well, by that logic, I guess Britney Spears - Toxic is the best song you've heard.
That's really unfortunate. |
Not popularity, but reaction.
Believe it or not, the majority of people who hear Traffic in any sort of dance setting have no idea what the track is or who made it. That contrasts very sharply with Toxic, which most people would recognize and react to accordingly due to familiarity.
Traffic is different. I've played it for live events where I can count on one hand the people who actually know what the track is. Yet the crowd energizes like nothing else. It's remarkable, really.
I'm not supporting Traffic to be stubborn. I actually disliked the track when I first heard it, at home. That opinion changed dramatically when I heard it live. It makes a difference, and stays with you.
