hmmm.... This topic intrigues me. Because I'm not a single buyer, never have been and I always look at Meat's CD's as a group of songs that tell a story. Guess it's the boomer in me.
So how do you promote a single that Meat releases? Hard sell from my point of view. He is not a "Pop" artist, never has been, never will be.
I would prefer the rocking songs as singles, but what do I know? So I guess whatever the record label thinks will sell.
There was a survey done last summer that asked for the internet folks to vote on the next single released, endorsed by Mercury. However no one knows the outcome and we are all just guessing it was MOS. Guess Mercury only knows.
Meat does the power ballad extremely well and that is his trademark. It's too bad songs like Testify and Tear Me Down don't get the attention they deserve.
Well I don't think I resolved anything, but it was a pleasure to babble on about it.
