I think both simple and complex music are too diverse to claim one is easy and the other is hard. Catchiness is definitely difficult to nail though.

I've never made music before so I can't argue against your point. And I am not against catchy music, think I should point that out. How making complex music is easier than making catchy music, that sort of doesn't make sense to me so I'm open to you explaining why you say it.

You can mash the keys on a piano creating polyrhythms and tone clusters that are much more complex than anything you'd ever hear on the radio even if it took no thought at all to do.

If making catchy music was easy then everyone would be able to have a top ten hit, and their albums would contain no filler. Think of all the washed up one-hit wonders of the world who come out with a vastly inferior second single which lasts for all of a week on the charts.

So if someone's album was chalk full of only catchy music, there'd be no filler? I don't see how that'd work. A catchy song can be filler just as well can a song that isn't catchy in my book.
