Okay I'm taking a chance by asking this, but surely I am not the only person who has found something to relate to and feel in a song by an artist most of you would write off as 'sucky.' I don't feel that way, but what I'm trying to say is I have been just as touched by songs by people you'd write off as I have by U2 or the Beatles. So guilty pleasure time here, admit it, hasn't there been something in some 'questionable' artist's song that touched you in ways more 'good' songs didn't?
Here are a few I'll admit to:
Avril Lavigne's "Nobody's Home"- when I heard that (stuck in the car with a teenage niece) I thought, oh man, that's me!
Hoobastank's "Crawling in the Dark"- they put that frustrating feeling better than anyone else I've heard, and the song rocks.
Vanessa Carlton's "White Houses"- a lot in there is also a lot of what I'm feeling right now, in my personal life, and even on this forum.
Poison- "Every Rose Has Its Thorn"- that guy poured his heart out with the line 'listen to my favorite song playin' on the radio, hear the DJ say love's a game of easy come and easy go, but I wonder, does he know, has he ever felt like this?"... Now haven't YOU felt like that and wondered if the artist really meant what they said or was it just for entertainment?
