Key songs of the adult alternative scene

An inherently POV list, who decides what a 'key song' is? Polly (Parrot) 23:44, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The title is inherently POV indeed; just what is adult alternative, and what is key, in this context?  Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * ...not to mention that out of all of these, "Heaven" by Los Lonely Boys is the only one I know. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm familiar with - and am a fan of - several of them and many aren't apart of the adult alternative genre. Most are either alternative rock bands that did one or two slower tempo songs or Adult Contemporary acts who have done faster tempo songs. The inclusion of several songs is really subjective and filled with either WP:OR or POV.

 * Delete. List is inherently POV.  If the criteria were sourced to some kind of scholarly list from music ... scholars? ... then it might be different, but as it stands, it's not an objective list; i.e, the editors decide what songs are key, and that's not how Wikipedia operates.

 * Delete the term "key" in the title is POV. How does a song become "key" in this genre? i'm slightly familiar with adult alternative and all I see in here are songs somewhat fitting the genre that had some success (i mean really? Foo Fighters aren't "adult alternative". And the inclusion of trip-hop act Portishead is similarly silly), its like this list was created by someone who just looked at whatever songs hit the Billboard Modern Rock Charts that would fit the genre and just included in here willy-nilly. I actually came across this a few months ago (finding my way there looking through the "What Links Here" page for Portishead on a slow school day) but had no clue how to put an article up for AfD and didn't have Twinkle at the time.

 * Delete. Pure POV, and a lot of the songs on the list are the reason why other bands provide an 'alternative'. Totally worthless.--Michig (talk) 07:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
