Another band that fits your between AC and rock description pretty well is Collective Soul. Live might work too.

Poor Second Chance :'(
And even though I love the song, how the heck is "Don't Stop Believin'" still one of the top 10 rock songs?

Album title is "LEAVE THIS TOWN" - a line from one of the songs called "September". I knew someone must have already. Oh well.

The fact that this is major key doesn't help it's chances at rock. The only songs he's had with legitimate rock potential have all been minor key Wow never would've thought of that - but it's true (weird...) It's also got really generic chord pattern (and tune) which is gonna kill it on Alternative IMO - not sure it's even gonna be that big on CHR, unless that backing vocal "hook" really catches on BTW just wonderin why I Tunes calls Matt Nathanson and Kevin Rudolf "rock"...

Matt Nathanson: There isn't an Adult Contemporary category on itunes, and a lot of AC or HAC Artists (Lifehouse, The Fray, Matchbox 20, Switchfoot, etc.) have also been considered rock artists in the past. I think it's a transitive thing, like a syllogism: 1. Lifehouse can be considered rock. 2. Matt Nathanson sounds like Lifehouse. 3. Therefore, Matt Nathanson can be considered rock. Kevin Rudolf: Well he's not exactly hip hop or rap, and itunes seems to have a strict criteria for labeling an artist "Alternative," but the "Rock" label is very broad and inclusive. I guess he was an easy fit.

Well, there is a pop label, but I don't think either guy fits in that area either. Just my opinion however.

^Yeah def. - but labeling Kevin Rudolf as rock seems really bizarre...unless they're just goin by the title of his single ;)
Agreed though that Lifehouse and Matt Nathanson aren't pop...

"Hangin' by a Moment" is still one of the best songs ever. If I heard it right now I'd crank my stereo and sing at the top of my lungs.

Kevin Rudolf's tour had a full page ad in recent issues of both Revolver and Alternative Press. WTF.

^Yeah actually I'm just goin off one track (haven't heard Welcome To The World) but why would a guy that considers himself Alternative get Li'l Wayne to rap along with him...plus did any Alt. stations touch Let It Rock? If they did, they might as well be playin Poker Face

If they did, they might as well be playin Poker Face Who said he considers himself "Alternative"? (And "Welcome to the World" sounds very similar to "Let It Rock" and features a guest verse from Rick Ross.)

It's just an ad for his tour. It could show up anywhere.

the songs not bad but it's not great either. I really liked the debut and I hope this isn't a case of the sophomore slump.

This is definitely not being sent to Rock radio but I'm hoping that You Don't Belong or something harder is sent eventually. Anyway, the tracklist and a (sorta) review from Rolling Stone: LEAVE THIS TOWN Track Listing 1. You Don't Belong 2. No Surprise 3. Every Time You Turn Around 4. Life After You 5. What I Meant to Say 6. Open Up Your Eyes 7. September 8. Ghost Of Me 9. Learn My Lesson 10. Supernatural 11. Tennessee Line 12. Call Your Name

I'm not a Vince Gill fan per se, but that's awesome that a guy like that is on the new Daughtry album. And that last track sounds like it could be pretty swell.
I'll have to stream this when it comes out next month.

"Back Again" - the track Chris wrote with Adam Gontier but didn't make the album cut; it's the B side to NS (UK iTunes):

I guess I especially like Daughtry songs with "Back Again" in the title. I wonder if "There And Back Again" factored into this song missing this album.
For what it's worth, this song unlike "No Surprise," would have charted at rock. I can't say anything about pop though.

Yeah I think can do decent at the Mainstream Rock charts. Thank god though RCA didn't send No Surprise to Rock. It would be an embarrassment because I don't think Rock radio would play it. I'm hopeful for "You Don't Belong" or another harder track.
