I don't get it...last night at our Sunday night gig...we had a good crowd, and around the 3rd set.. we had a request for Lady Gaga.
Now our audience are 40 -50 year old..
So we did a couple Lady songs..."Romance" and "pokerface"..
The people went nuts...standing ovation..Me....I hate the whole music concept of the songs...Our "girl" singer likes to do this stuff once in a while (50 something.. )...I rather listen to this Lady Gaga songs ..only when she is(Lady Gaga) performing (video)...even then 2 songs is enough...

Longivity ... no way...The greats from the 40's , 50's and 60's..will remain..even some 70's (not many)....but 80's on..only a chosen few...They won't be referred to ..as the "Standards" or "oldies"...

Another tell tale way of knowing it isn't worth playing...I hate to play any song that has one chord..
