Daniel Powter - Bad Day

Chain Smoker

This guy must make a fortune from this, seems to be everywhere for a solid 10+ years now.
...but does anyone actually like it? I mean, anyone at all?


Asking in After Hours so I can ask the most general audience I can find online. This isn't a music question.

"Does anybody like this song? This is not a question about music".

HS3

I hate these polls with hidden results. Come on, what's the verdict?

Well, I guess I mean "this isn't a topic that's suited to a music forum". The kind of people who post on a music forum are likely not going to be Daniel Powter's biggest fans. He's surely the easiest of easy listening in a way that makes it very unlikely he'll appeal to people who listen to more than a few albums in a given year.

I don't feel so bad now, as I'd never heard of him, it, whatever. I didn't know if it was a book, song, or film.

I don't know Daniel, but that song wouldn't be for me.

Does 'Beautiful Day' by U2 annoy you too op?

Annoys the f*ck outta me when a small bit of sunshine peeks through our ever present rain clouds and every DJ in the country decides they are give that song a spin.

Nope, I never listen to the radio but I can definitely see your point .
Bad Day by Daniel Powter still manages to follow me around somehow.

I really don't buy that anyone over the age of 20 doesn't know his song. It's pretty ubiquitous.

Oh, yeah, I've heard it alright. Just a standard play by the numbers, instantly forgettable and replaced by another bland song about nothing in particular tune.

What were we talking about again?

What about a bit of Elbow?

Hadn't a clue but looked it up and I have to say , makes good television advert background music.

The song beautiful day by U2 is awful.

A near three way split with the vote right now!

The background TV music comment is fairly bang on, it's used on tons of ****. Royalties galore.

Jesus.

What in the name of sweet me is the point of having a poll with the results hidden?

No

It is very well played in Mayo. Normally come the third Sunday of September it gets a few blasts.
