I've always kind of liked the verse of DP's "Bad Day" chord progression and melody-wise but something about the jaunty tone of the chorus strikes me as really funny (unintentionally). Like, "hey buddy something terrible happened to you, nbd, get over it lol". zchrys, how did the song actually make you feel when you heard it in the car that day? I feel like I would have literally lol'd but I'm not the one with the deeply stabbed hand...
I really love the guitar hocketing(?) on the intro and verses of "The Reason", kind of reminds me of Steve Reich's "Electric Counterpoint." But beyond that it's some really dull MOR shit.
Rusted Root? Sure, why not?
I guess I'd go for "Bad Day" because unlike "The Reason" it always makes me smile a bit when I hear it at the supermarket.

xps to J. Sam I was just sort of mildly amused/annoyed because I *hate* that song, but also the universe was being very on-the-nose.
I don't like The Reason either, but if I had to be forced to listen to just one of them, I'd choose that one

Whadda y’all think of “I Don't Want to Be" by Gavin McGraw?
