While I do think complexity does lose most people, I think syncopation is a requisite in any popular music. Even a simple song like Every Breath You Take by the Police uses syncopation when you consider the vocal rhythm over the music. It may be basic syncopation, but the only music that seems to be strictly 'downbeat' is disco.
What is odd to me especially is that symphonic music like Mozart, etc are widely regarded as excellent music while using a variety of tempos and rhythms. Yet in the majority of popular music it is eschewed or only marginally considered.
And while I may not want music that zags when at a club, when I am enjoying music for pure enjoyment I want to feel a push and pull that can only come with complexity. Undoubtedly I am in the minority but this is an area I really have a hard time understanding others perspective. Of course, I am one of your nerds at the Rush concerts.
