First, I saw don't go in looking to make a hit song. Music shouldn't be about being popular or making money. Second, I was there when I was in high school and little after. It amazing how simple songs are some of the best. Like Queens of the Stone Age for instance, I know its not punk, their stuff can be really simple just done with some creativity. It's about how you use you talent and you mind is what I've realized.

I feel you. I want the same thing. However, I don't want to become that guy who only does it for money. It can consume you quickly. I want to make sure that I keep my creativity involved heavily. I believe it can be done.

Dude, have you listened to The Mars Volta? They're all about crazy creativity. You can go crazy on a song and you can make it as simple as a song like Brain Stew.

Yea Mars Volta is a great example. Radio head is a pretty good example too.

Better yet, listen to At The Drive-In. I haven't really heard any of their albums, but I know that they're a highly influentual punk/post-hardcore outfit.

Berry Gordy got hip many years ago after chasing his passions by opening a record store. The jazz, which he felt was closest to his heart , was not selling as hot as the rhythm and blues. His response to this was to start MOTOWN, which would prevail beyond anyones imagination.
