A really cool guitar riff that plays just once (as if it's the refrain), but leaves it as just that.

Makes me want to stal the riff and write a song where that riff is the main riff.

That band is Endless Boogie. Their first two vinyl-only releases - Vol I & II were the distilled essence of the blues - each track is a single beautiful blues riff played over and over and over again.

Track down Vol 1, side 1, track 1 - "Stanton Karma" - killer stuff.

I think nearly every song does that. After the chorus and maybe the second verse you'll find so many songs that go up an octave. It is annoying but it happens so much now I think it's almost expected.

If you mean a song lifting an entire section wholesale and just transposing it up, then yeah, that's hackneyed BS. Music would be pretty boring as a whole though without any key changes at all.

That's called modulation. When done well it can work but some bands fall back on it as a gimmick.

Spinal Tap did a song where they did a bunch of modulations to poke fun at the practice.

Speaking of house music...

Here is an example of the worst kind of gimmick in all of music:



That song is technically Glitch Hop, but this type of distorted vocal effect happens most commonly in Deep House. I can't stand it. As soon as I see it is a Deep House upload, I know I will be skipping it.
