Write-Up: Umm.. so here I kinda have the opposite feeling of Ranking Regret where I think something should be much lower. I mean the score is accurate so this placement is right but there are several songs that have already been ranked that I feel like "on the surface" are better songs to listen to but then again it doesn't just come down to whether or not I can tolerate listening to a song. This is an ok song and it sounds like it should be a classic but the whole thing is under par imo. The band is/was semi-popular in Canada though so it made it onto the ranking when I was scooping up some of the top international songs from the 80's. ====================================
==================================== [8th Place] { 1,119th Place } [10's][ 224th Place] Song: "Mystic Highway" Band: John Fogerty Album: Wrote A Song For Everyone ---{ 2013 }--- Genre: Country Rock Score:[5.3][3.3][4.3][0.3][6.2][3.2][7.2] = [29.8] = [4.257] Video:
Write-Up: This song has a fun riff that catches my ear almost immediately. It seems that it'd be easy to learn and I like a good toe tapper from time to time. It really isn't that often that I give anything Country related a chance but Country Rock is among the most tolerable Country for me. This dude has been making music for quite some time and I actually thought this was from the 70's or 80's when hearing it for the first time. I was kinda shocked to see that it came out just 5 years ago. ====================================
==================================== [7th Place] { 1,104th Place } [00's][ 233rd Place] Song: "Better" Band: Guns N' Roses Album: Chinese Democracy ---{ 2008 }--- Genre: Hard Rock Score:[5.2][3.3][4.1][2.3][5.3][2.2][8.2] = [30.6] = [4.371] Video:
Write-Up: Ok then. Had to change the video due to a copyright claim. Coulda sworn I had the official music video selected the first time around but I guess I didn't. If I were changing scores at this point I'd probably bump up the Beat and Hook here as the more I listen the "Better" they get imo. :P Anyway, this might actually be the most recent favorite of GnR of mine (since honestly most of their other stuff sounds like they should have hung up their guitars and retired by now to me). The band can't top their significance in the 90's imo. The band still has a decent following of course even though it didn't get them to the top of the charts on this one. I thought it was funny to learn that the music video was delayed (missing a slated release) by none other than Lars Ulrich from Metallica who had given pre-authorization to use his image in the video but then later only signed off on one appearance forcing a video edit. I used to love Metallica above all else but the last couple of decades have proven that Lars is nothing but a self-righteous f***wit so I'm not too surprised here. ====================================
