re: two top singles from last year.

this shit is bananas.

this is just shit.

I don't really like either of those songs, but "since you've been gone" is just terrible. The only redeeming part is the midi sounding guitars throughout the whole song... no wait, it was the sub-avril chorus... no that's not it. Was it the utterly inane lyrics? The singer's unconvincing bleating?

Oh yeah, it's the guitar bridge lifted directly from Maps.

There was an interview with vanilla ice about the "under pressure" sample where he explained it something like:

The original was "dun-dun-dun-du-du-dun-dun, dun dun-dun-dun-du-du-dun-dun" whereas his version was "dun-dun-dun-du-du-dun-dun, tchk dun dun-dun-dun-du-du-dun-dun". So it was an orginal creation.

(had to get the "since you've been gone" hate off my chest.)
