Sadly, this type of stuff is exactly why I don't listen to much music, and if I find music I enjoy, it's typically because of clever lyrics rather than the music itself.
As a music theory/composition major in school, music simply became a string of mathematical formulas that all seem pretty redundant anymore. The simple fact of the matter is, though, that music is pretty much designed to work a certain way for what our ears are expecting. We like descending fifths (such as end a song with vi-ii-V-I) because the physics of music make us want that, and so most music obeys those rules.
