Unpopular Opinions about Music

[Spartan Girl]

Chappell Roan is both overrated and a poseur.

Many years ago, I posted here my hatred for the song "Wind Beneath My Wings". 

No, time has not softened my opinion, I still hate it, but lest I completely wallow in negativity, I do think there are songs out there that succeed where "WBMW" fails. One great example is "I'll Remember" by Madonna. It's tender, sincere, and Madonna isn't humble-bragging all over the place; on the contrary, she's willing to admit her weaknesses that the subject of the song helped her overcome.

I'll even put "Kind and Generous" by Natalie Merchant over "WBMW". Hell, I don't even like that song either (or Merchant as a singer*), I find it tedious, but you know what I appreciate about it? The subject of the song is just that, THE SUBJECT, not the object. 

My point is, this kind of song can be done well.

 

*Though I still love "Wonder". I'm not made of stone, you know.

I like "I'll Remember", too. Good song, that one.

Perhaps its because I associate 90s dance music still largely with innocence for me but songs like this are still banging
