Lol. True. Away From the Sun was so much better in general though one of my favorite tracks is from Seventeen Days (The Real Life). Oh well, winning streaks have to end sometime.

Hey 3 Doors Down's least successful lead single that I'd call a radio flop by their standards still was an overall bigger song than the biggest lead single of my favorite (radio) band's career (except for on active rock by a small margin) so I'd say they can feel pretty good about their success. When my favorite band at radio, Sevendust, hit #7 on active rock last year with "Unraveling", I was SO pumped.

I wasn't even aware that they released 5 singles from Seventeen Days. I thought there was only 3.

I still hear "Here by Me" every now and then. "Everytime You Go" sounds nice. Sure, the lyrics are pablum, but it has that killer sound. I'll have to hear it on the radio first like most 3DD singles before I can really tell. The problem with 3DD is that they've covered the bases on radio. Heavy rockers, ballads, mid-tempos. Just about any song they release right now is going to sound like another one of their hits. After ten years, I think they need to push for something else stylistically if they are going to maintain the radio dominance they've held for the past decade. Or they can follow their MOR path and become the new Bon Jovi.

I'm afraid I'm missing the obvious here, but what does MOR stand for?

I don't know what it is about this band but it's like pulling teeth to find videos with clear audio. Finally found one of Round and Round--

No, just generally feels like it's a FF song.

It's probably the most purdy cover they've had, though I am a tad confused as to the relation to the title outside the fact that there's clock tower in there ( Time of My Life - get it? Haha.). Also, I'd be more afraid if they did have hookers since they present a fairly clean-cut image.

No no no.....you just have to look hard enough and eventually you'll find the tattooed hooker in something of a Where's Wanda Wanna? methodology! ;)
