Do you generalize much or have you conducted clinical trials? I have had this album for years and am long-familiar with this genre and the genres and which inspired it. Why all the hate, Cowboy? |

Following Bono with Mono. Maybe that's redundant.
Love and peace or else live in mono. Still decent.

Is that "Mono" as in mononucleosis? It's defenitely not as infectiuos though probably more fatal.

I see someone actually said "This song rocks." That would require an entirely new definition to the term "rocks," unless they're the ones in your head.
If this were a perfume ad -- which is what it sounds like -- I would avoid the fragrance like the plague. In fact, I would rather try a fragrance called "The Plague." What is this fascination for breathy French females who can't sing a lick? Go rent an old Bardot video and stop making us all into Spyder Savitch wannabes!

Totally agree, Christine! If only all the breathy vocalists' CDs, LPs, and cassettes would autoexplode. |

Or maybe the poor girl has mono. That's why we can hardly hear her.

Will someone warm up the electron microscope, please? If we just search hard enough, we'll find a voice in there, somewhere...

Sorry, but the chord progression dominates. A cycle of fifths is a cycle of fifths. Next time you hear this chorus try to sing "I Will Survive " along with it. That might make it a bit more exciting.....
