organ and out-of-tune piano in same song
melody lines that start on one instrument and finish on another (going from bass guitar to piano is always cool)
singers who understand subtlety

People using huge obvious samples without permission.

Singers of indistinguishable gender

Slappy, outfolding dubby beats like Chicken Lips and the Deceptacon Remix, not to be confused with that skronky unstable kind that makes it sound like you have something like a set of keys near the speaker.

A genre-bending human beat box

a Jamaican who flows smooth a la Big Daddy Kane
female mcs
oboes oboes OBOES!!!

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 22 January 2004 05:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Slightly out of tune sweet-voiced girl singers on hit singles (a la Lumidee)
Scratchy slightly sped up or slowed down movie samples
That old 60s organ sound (I know it has a name. . . the one on "Get Busy")

ridiculous bass

Sounds good to me

Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription... is more cowbell!

extreme syncopation
string instruments tuned/played melodically, but discordantly.

analog production in hip hop without the early 90s fetishisation

Bass clarinet

― Øystein H-O (Øystein H-O), Thursday, 22 January 2004 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah!

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 22 January 2004 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

big overdubbed guitars, a dude with a goatee rapping about his pain but carefully avoiding swearwords.

alright, i wanna hear more of that grinding bass sound that Golden Boy uses lots (kuckkucksuhr, autopilot), as does DFA (yeah). i'm a sucka for that stuff.

― paulhw (paulhw), Thursday, 22 January 2004 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Ping sounds like the one in "Milkshake".
Distorted ring-modulated tabla riffs gone mad.
Duets between women with deep, low voices and men with high, thin voices.
Punchy little kick drums in rock bands instead of big BOOMF BOOMF huge ones.
Unconventional-style rappers who aren't annoying as fuck.

Songs with false endings.

oops: what about ward 21?

― cybele (cybele), Thursday, 22 January 2004 18:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like to find out if I can be desensitized to church bells in a pop song. RFTC's "This Bad Check Is Gonna Stick," Urge Overkill's "Bottle Of Fur," Smashmouth's "Your Man" and countless others have gotten points for me for adding a clarion tinge overdubwise.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 22 January 2004 18:40 (twenty-two years ago)

never even heard of them, cybele (been kinda out of the hip hop loop lately)
Is there an album I should look for or just singles?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 22 January 2004 18:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know whether to apologize for the "gotten points for me for" typo or for the use of the phrase clarion tinge.

"I love you."
