I've been searching ...

There are plenty of songs out there - on the radio, in shopping malls, on mtv - that are so irritating that the moment I hear them I just have to remove myself from the offensive noise! That also applies to certain singers or even instrumentalists.

But I won't mention the ones I don't like, instead I have to admit to being a bit of a fan of The Rasmus. I can't explain what it is that I like about them - the lyrics perhaps, the voice certainly and the fact that I can make out what is being sung, but also the way it all hangs together. Whenever "In the Shadows" gets airtime, I have to turn up the radio and stop what I am doing to listen!
