"Greater" Songs

Yesterday, I posted “Lesser” Songs. Shortly thereafter, a coalition of “Greater” Songs presented me a signed petition requesting equal time on the blog. Coincidentally, all the petitioners were Christian artists. So there’s this… Enjoy?  ~  JH

"Lesser" Songs

I'm of the philosophy that it's always better to under-promise and over-deliver. Sure, if you live up to those expectations, someone's going to be disappointed. But if you exceed those expectations, everyone's surprised and impressed. Case in point: I told you yesterday, upon publishing the "Equal" Songs post, that I wasn't sure if I could find enough good "Lesser" Songs to do that follow-up post. And yet, here it is. Enjoy!  ~  JH
