In my mind I really can't hear the hero/how you remind me similarity. I can hear Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" in it though.
I have to disagree with your point about music sucking because many aren't proper musicians. You mention Simon cowell ... True he's made a ton of money, but what has he done to music really? He's sold a ton of records that people forget about and throw away. I don't really think that's hurting music, I feel it's relatively benign.
The reason I also don't agree with you is that often the greatest music is produced more with emotion than knowledge of music theory. I look a a band like dream theatre and simply cannot understand why people find it tolerable. Purely my opinion of course, but I'd rather listen to a poorly played 3 chord ballad drunkenly scribbled on the back of a bar napkin by Noel gallagher than a 4 part rock symphony that took dream theatre a year to compose. I guess my point is that in my eyes emotion is 95% of music (in my opinion). Perhaps oasis is a poor example, I was merely reaching
for something accessible.
Sorry, horribly off topic.
