    Sometimes music is popular for a reason... It is good and people like to listen to it.

    Exactly what I was gonna say.

    A musician friend of mine that hit the bigtime (Letterman, Leno, Conan, etc. appearances) says that it's totally the stars aligning and who you know. Trust me, there are soooo many talented artists out there that never hit it big.

    Stand Up is a very good album. Not his best, but very good. Old Dirt Road and Dreamgirl are great songs from that one.
    ISU fans are the greatest in the world. All they ask for is hope and the belief that we have a chance to win every time we step on the field - Johnny Majors (paraphrased)

    I totally agree that some stuff on the radio is crap... but not all.

    I realize this too... but to be honest, I don't have the time or energy to go searching out great undiscovered music. I love listening to music, but I'm a creature of habit.
