Your Beautiful by James Blunt (well, anything by James Blunt actually)
You and I by the Scorpions (on second thoughts, anything by the Scorpions)
Jump by Van Halen (see above)
I'm sure there are more, but I never really pay sufficient attention to them to remeraber their names and authors
I wouldn't call Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You a monstrosity. I'm not a major fan of her at all but this song was incredible; the depth of her voice is amazingly beautiful
Did I say Francis Ford Coppola wrote The Godfather? I was making a comparison between movie directors and musicians. If you'd like we could make the comparison between authors and musicians as well though, since I don't think Mario Puzo is any more of an advocate of mob violence than Stephen King is an advocate of people abducting and torturing their favorite author.
I know, seriously Kayne? I mean when I was first getting into rap your You Cain't Tell Me Nothin' was like the first rap song I liked and it really brought me into the genre. But now with stuff like Heartless... who's going to respect you anymore? I guess its all in the name of what sells.
