At least they're not as long as a game of American football. And unlike American football, people in more than one country actually care, they don't stop every few minutes for ad breaks, are enjoyable for a spectator when seen live, and you don't have to suffer several hours of hype and some **** throwing herself around on stage before anything actually happens.
That about sums up American football. Most pointless game ever.

Let's call a spade a spade here. Quit being silly fanboys blindly stating that everything New Model Army does is the best thing on Earth.

Which artist - Justin Sullivan or Katy Perry - over the past five years has created the better song? Answer Katy Perry.

Sullivan's best work over the past five years is "Summer Moors." Nice song.
Katy Perry's best work over the past five years is "Teenage Dream." A stupendous marvel of popular songwriting crafstmanship.
Let's compare:

"Summer Moors":
- moody, but you can't dance to it
- nice lyrics, buy what exactly do they mean
- nobody even knows what a Moor is. A grassy hill? Othello?

"Teenage Dream":
- has a great guitar lick
- has a brilliant throwback lyric that harkens back to classic 50s/60s rock and roll teenage drama angst epitomized in songs like "Teenager In Love" and "Leader of the Pack."
- has one of the greatest, catchiest choruses ever created

Plus I saw Katy Perry sing "Teenage Dream" on "Saturday Night Live" wearing a short cheerleader outfit. I saw Justin Sullivan sing "Summer Moors" on youtube and believe me, Katy's performance was far more entertaining.

I am not kidding around. Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" is better than "Summer Moors" and better than any song that Justin Sullivcan has come up with over these past five years. Be honest for once. You won't be a heretic for saying Perry has come up with the better song in recent years. You'd simply be correct.

Every top musician knows the first rule of songwriting is KISS -- Keep It Short, Stupid! Katy Perry knows that, why doesn't New Model Army?

Yeah...

Hey Jude

Bohemian Rhapsody

Like A Rolling Stone

...if only Katy Perry had been around a few decades earlier then she could've taught the writers of those songs a thing or two...they might've ended up with a hit song on their hands if she had...

Based on the fact that the more short a song is, the better, I submit this as the greatest song EVA.

Actually - I love Field Days For The Sundays, but have no clue what it means.  At least I get the Jello is saying (over and over and over).

Yes, entertaining to sex driven males in a misogynistic culture. Honestly if you don't like deep, thoughtful and meaningful music Katy Perry is a win for you. But if it's emotional depth and passion that you want out of music. Sullivan wins hand's down.

It's all about what you want out of your music.
