What's one aspect of a song, regardless of genre, that you think is a tell-tale

sign of the song being lame?
For me, when a singer/song-writer drops the name of a famous singer in the song, more often than not, the song is super lame. Seems like I hear this a lot in songs on Outlaw Country.

When it's a digital hi-hat rhythm sound and not a real hi-hat.

sampling.. playing someone else's music and singing is lame.

When I can predict what the next line of the lyrics will be.

Haha!
Sampling is an art if done correctly
see: J Dilla, DJ Shadow, Daft Punk, The Avalanches, Just Blaze

Modern sampling isn't as good because, well, it's now such a legal tangle. De la Soul and early Beastie Boys could have layer upon layer of samples that would be impossible today because it would bankrupt the band. But great sampling can be an artform. It's also kind of fun to play spot the reference.
It's a shame Questlove isn't able to totally cut loose. He'd be the greatest ever at it, as his music knowledge is near encyclopedic.
As to the OP's question, Auto Tune is a good place to start.

Paul's Boutique is the Mona Lisa of sampling.

usually when i hear a crowd cheer at the beginning, followed by the first notes of an uninspired solo, i know im in for a tedious 14 min WSP track.

I noticed the other day that there are a few "country" songs out now where they act like listening to the Charley Daniels Band means your country arse hell.

Prepare for the inevitable "crunchy groove", man
