For Beginners: Pop Rock Singles Reviews. The Freshman by The Verve Pipe



Though this song talks about Freshmen, I would guess that a child would be able to perform this song before getting to high school.  Very simple, and lots of pop hooks that are common to beginners songs that are most commonly heard on pop radio that seem to be able to reach a large audience such that they pack big venues.
Perhaps, there is a good purpose in supporting at least some mediocre music in popular music.  The purpose it serves is that when music is more simple, it welcomes newcomers.  However, the pervasiveness of very simple music on the airwaves, such that there seems to be no room for the fusion of rock and jazz, and/or progressive rock, and/or progressive metal is deplorable in my opinion.
