I'm with you on the aversion to jazz noodling, Maria! I've just never been able to get into it. Prog rock in the '70s had a similar habit of insisting that everyone in the band got a solo. Yawn. But three minute hits, now you're talking! I'm trying to think what else might be added to that excellent list. Will come back if inspiration strikes.
I’ve always thought music is a key test in attraction. I’m not totally opposed to jazz, but I’m not a fan of a lot of it. You’ve got to have some common ground for it to work.
Maria, I share your despair for 'the demolished and defunct' live music venues. As for 3 minute songs - couldn't agree more. I like your choices. Have to also offer up, The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There...Sleeper - Inbetweener and the glorious Kirsty MacColl's - There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis.

And all hail the 3 minute pop song.
Oh... Virginia Plain...
