Pixies' "Rock Music" or Tiffany's version of "I Think We're Alone Now"

Minimalist or just incredibly oversimplified to the point of laziness?

I liked it better when it came out in the 60s as 'Chad and Jeremy': http://youtu.be/_D2XD341xHo

That vid took way too long for such little return. Where's BuzzFeed when you need them?

Nice little love-letter article. Although, I would argue that nothing Peter Buck ever devised in a lick could be called "complex". Lots of picking arpeggios of chords and open strings (the opening riff of So. Central included). He was an innovator to be sure but never complex IMO.

Sophomore slump? Perhaps that was just an excuse to use "sophomore slump" in a sentence?
