"Most of it is so treacly-sweet and unimaginative that it makes me grit my teeth"
That was very much my opinion last century. I really liked Jars of Clay's If I Left the Zoo when it came out (especially "Goodbye, Good Night" which would be at home at an Adult Alternative station just as well as a CCM station).
I've popped by WAY-FM for a song or two once a week or so for several years now. My thoughts usually went along the lines of "Oh, that doesn't sound bad...yeah, not bad...ok, I listened to that song and now I'm ready for something different." Lately, I'll keep it on the station for 15 minutes or so. It is rare that I think poorly of the music, it's just that I rarely think that a song is particularly creative in a way that catches my attention.
