Richard Marx is one of my favorite singer/songwriters ever. In an era where most things felt over-produced, dramatic, or downright cheesy, the music of Richard Marx felt like a breath of fresh air. One of his most famous songs is a post relationship classic "Should've Known Better." Richard Marx voice allows the listener to believe that he has truly expierianced the heartbreak of which he sings. Something that is def. lacking in today's mostly soulless popular music scene. There's something universal in the loss of love that Richard Marx manages to capture though without delivering a four minute funeral procession in the process.
