I'm not one tenth the genius of Frank, but even I STILL know that Mellencamp pretty much suxks...I acknowledge that taste is subjective...but I don't see this one that way....JohnMellenBryanAdamsCamp was a sad bit of rock history...wish it were just an opinion...but I can't fathom a reasonable alternative argument...maybe if the music wasn't quite as unimaginative as the lyrics, I'd give him a pass...but, once my tongue started bleeding, I had to say something...PinkFnHouses hurt good????? Really?
so, I wrote him off as a lightweight based on Jack & Diane, Cherrybomb, Pink Houses...
Maybe try Mr. Happy Go Lucky, Human Wheels, Whenever We Wanted. He did more after those that I can't separate.
