IMO, most of her transcending songs show variety in the song, and doesn't have all verses and chorusses sounding the same. And it should also sound unique. (And of course it needs to be an actually good song, but that's beside the point. =p)

E.g.
evolution, M and monochrome are definitely not mass-production songs. They sound unlike any other song, and they have unique arrangements.

But..
E.g. momentum, Will and criminal; these songs have the verses and chorusses sounding pretty much the same, creating a negative predictability. And they're relatively generic. Those songs have less of a play-value over time.

At least that's how I see it. ^^;

From the albums after RAINBOW (where I feel she started doing more generic music and arrangements), the unique gems are:
Because of You, forgiveness, Moments, CAROLS, GAME, HEAVEN, STEP you, BLUE BIRD, JEWEL, Marionette and Mirrorcle World. talkin' 2 myself is half/half.
This excluding personal favorites of mine such as ANGEL'S SONG and INSPIRE. :3

I find it harder to pick these songs for later albums than earlier albums, because the earlier ones have more of them.
