“Enough” Songs

I'm not hard to please. If you ask me how much I want of something – whether it be money, clothes, Christmas presents, or what have you – I'll probably just answer "enough." Not too much, not too little. Just..."enough." That's what these songs are all about, too. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Girls' "Rule" Songs

So...the title of this particular post may require some explanation. Here we have a bunch of songs with the word "Rule" or "Rules" in their titles, but these are only by female artists. As much as I try to balance it out in my posts, more often than not there are more male artists or male-fronted bands than females. (This probably says a lot about the state of the music industry, but I digress.) But not this time! The guys in these songs are either nonexistent or backups to the ladies. About time, right? Enjoy!  ~  JH
