For me, it’s Far Away by Nickelback. It’s an almost perfect power ballad.
Oh my god OP- This is the pinnacle. I loved this song so much in 2005 or so? I remember loving this song, The OC, The Comeback, and became obsessed with American Idol around this time... There is another song on the tip of my mind right now that I will add- I just have to remember the band and name.

R1 And Far Away was featured in as the tear jerking closing song in an episode of Cold Case. With Nicholls Tom and Bobby Cannavale at his peak.

And You And Me by Lifehouse. From 2005, when the rock was soft and the girls looked like Ashlee Simpson.

Was You And Me used to devastating effect in Cold Case? You bet your ass it was.

And I will say that there is someone that I fucking love who may borderline this category but never reaches its lows-
Chris Daughtry is an amazing vocalist and Daughtry has many killer songs--- They are all earworms- but not terrible-
My favorite artists are Tori, Joni, Kate, Oasis, and Father John Misty-- I am also slowly getting into this Joanna Newsom lady that someone talked about here...
But this middle of the road pop rock shit from 2003-2010 never ever gets old!!
I used to drive around listening to that California song b y Phantom Planet (OC theme song) thinking I was the shit.
Oh dear.

All those shows! The harder (less Lilith Fair) songs from Dawson’s Creek and Felicity were like a gateway drug to awesome music I hate.
The 2000s version of Classic Rock died.

Many may argue that my list includes non-terrible artists so let’s just say that I’m not a fan of these bands, but do enjoy the songs.

Stone in Love by Journey

Never understood all the hate for Nickelback. They had some solid songs in the Y2K era. For those of us who were missing ROCK music, it was welcome.

Fun fact: Joe Biden is responsible for Fall Out Boy. Pete Wentz’s parents met working for him in the 1970s.

I always liked This Is How You Remind Me by Nickelback because it perfectly described a relationship I’d just gotten out of at the time.
I don’t like Jason Derulo but Want to Want Me channels Prince and I love it.

So here is her gorgeous song, "Home," and her video featuring JD Vance's constituency.
