The chord structures of these songs are always, as has been mentioned, incredibly simple and emotionally manipulative. Which *can* work, very occasionally, especially at a young age - I could say that Gary Davies playing Wilson Phillips's "Hold On" when I was 9 helped me through my first depression of any sort, and I wouldn't be lying.

You don't know how good you got it, Tim. If I have to hear "but she has a great voice" one more time... I've never heard Travis, but I'll take them sound unheard over "The Power Of Love" and "All By Myself" anyday. How could they be worse ? I'll take bland over excruciating oversinging anytime.

What adult contemporary in the seventies sounded like.
