Sometimes an artist you can't stand releases something just comes close to justifying their existence.
For example, that smug hambone Sting ended his first solo album with a song called "Fortress Around Your Heart" which has such pretty harmonizing on the chorus that I feel compelled to forgive (some of) his numerous character flaws. (Whats even better is how the song is essentially him saying "Look, I know I'm a jerk, and I know that my jerkishness has hurt you and made you bitter... ...but I want to make up for my mistakes." and after he harmonizes on the chorus, you just wanna forgive let the poor lug and back into your life.... ...and then he does "Englishman in New York" and scolds us about wanting his toast done only on one side....)
So anyhow...
Complete this sentence
"Normally, I hate [NAME OF ARTIST] but '[NAME OF SONG]' almost makes up for [his/her/their] inherent shittiness."
Tell us all about it.
