I just wanted to add...

I've heard many songs here that step out of the formulated box, be that in length, lyrical content, music, etc. Will they become commercially successful? Probably not. But they can still find a selective audience.

Not all music is destined for a mass audience.

I personally place more respect on the artistic merits of a song rather than the commercial success. Too bad the Industry is so "closed" mind to this. They could be surprised by the number of listeners that are eager for something that goes beyond the formulated box.
