You're right about that. What sounds cool when recording or when sitting around your house doesn't translate into a catchy thing when songs are being screened in volume like this. I am pretty much opposed to "atmospheric" sounds (except in very, very special cases). If you're writing a train song -- leave the recorded train whistle out. Do it on guitar, harp or fiddle!
I love the sound of rain -- I just don't need it on a song about finding your love in the rain. Also the "telephone" or scratchy am radio voice was really, really popular in the one genre I have completed.
