A bit of musical observation

I've a theory that whatever music you listened to when you were in highschool will be your definitive genre. In my case, that was grunge and the post-metal rock movement as embodied by Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and later on Collective Soul.

Lately I've been going through a 90s rock phase and even before AI winner David Cook brought this song back into the spotlight, the song had been circulating in my playlist of late.

I noticed, though, how "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls sounds so much like "The World I Know" by Collective Soul especially with the violin interlude.

See and listen.
