In the interest of adding some variety to this discussion, I'll throw in a mention of Rixton's "Me and My Broken Heart". Nothing but shameless imitation Maroon 5... if you can believe that
a) such a thing actually exists and
b) that there's a market for it. Isn't having one bad enough?
But given that we're not even halfway through the year, a lot of 2013's shiteous fourth quarter releases are still fresh in my mind, and certainly songs like "Let It Go" and "Hey Brother" have had considerable leg in the new year, so we might as well discuss them, too. Idina is nowhere near as fabulous as we'd like to pretend she is. AND WHERE ARE MENKEN AND ASHMAN WHEN WE DESPERATELY NEED THEM?!
Cowboy-house can take it's rotting corpse to the graveyard and stay there for another 20-ish years.
Oh, yeah, Demetria's horrid "Neon Lights" was another
major offense.
