That would kill it for me...I like grooving and just "feeling" when to drop changes and switch it up. Some songs end up being more dj friendly than others. Sometimes I like a break that is 2 beats, not 2 bars. or working a sound that takes 2-3 minutes to evolve because that sound from a synth is what inspired the track. Sometimes a sound comes in like the pesky guy selling something at your door during dinner and you've got to slam the door in his face before he finishes his sales pitch, then later you wondered what happend to him so you chase him down the street because you have to find out what they were all about.

How about a track that is a test tone going from 10k to 35hz over the span of 60minutes...with a little drum fill at the end...or some smartass dave letterman comment to paul shaffer.
