    @BleedingLlama I think we have established this enough times. I assumed that if you understood basic theory you would know when a chord was meant to be major or minor. Sharp of flat.

    It is interesting that so many of these artists were either one hit wonders, or the song played was by a well known artist but the song was one of their least creative ones, like they had been around music enough to be able to whip something up pretty fast if they needed a paycheck or had to meet a deadline. The folks who listen with discretion to popular music don’t call much of it “formula” music for nothing.
