Oh Mikey... Just when you think you have me pegged, you don't. I don't hate Maroon 5. They are just fine. Their music is very listenable. They are kind of an American version of Jamiroquai, and I like them too. The R&B/Disco/Electro thing they have going on is a pretty cool sound. And is it me, or does Adam Levine sound a whole lot like Stevie Wonder? So no, I ain't hatin' on the 5. This is pop music at it's best. One thing, I'm trying to figure out how you got bluesy out of Harder To Breath, seeing it is full of funk, not blues?

Speaking of pop, I really kind of dig the new Jason Mraz. It's sugary, wimpy, and forgettable, but by golly, it makes ya feel good! And the noise factor is nil. That's a good thing.
