"Terrible" Songs

If you take my blog post titles at face value, you might consider me to be a pathological liar. If you delve deeper, though, the picture becomes a little clearer. Case in point, this post. These are not terrible songs, per se, at least not in the sense of their content or quality. They are, however, songs with the word "Terrible" somewhere in their titles. This is part 1 of a 2-part "Opposites" series. The 2nd and final installment will consist of "Wonderful" songs. Enjoy?  ~  JH

Songs By Artists/Bands Named Adam & Eve

This is another one of those posts that derived from a fairly mundane motive, but ended up being a fun collection to compile. I had a "leftover" song by a guy named Adam that wouldn't quite fit into a recent post anywhere, but I still wanted to use it; so I decided to see how many artists or bands I could find with either Adam or Eve (or both) in their names and post a song by each one that I found. This is what I came up with. Enjoy!  ~  JH
