So, here's the thing…I recently posted a "Bitter" & "Sweet" opposites post, but I wasn't able to fit in all the "Sweet" songs I'd wanted to include within the self-allotted space. So…I decided (what a shocker!) to continue my seemingly infinite series of "Opposites" music posts with this one, affording myself the opportunity to get in those last few "Sweet" songs. Enjoy! ~ JH
1) Evanescence ~ "Sweet Sacrifice"
2) Stone Temple Pilots ~ "Sour Girl"
3) Gwen Stefani ft. Akon ~ "The Sweet Escape"
4) Carly Rae Jepsen ft. Josh Ramsay ~ "Sour Candy"
5) Keith Urban ~ "Sweet Thing"
6) Band Of Skulls ~ "Sweet Sour"
7) Macy Gray ~ "Sweet Baby"
8) The Slants ~ "Sour Love"
9) Norah Jones ~ "Those Sweet Words"
10) Portishead ~ "Sour Times"
11) Neil Diamond ~ "Sweet Caroline"

Technically speaking, "ain't" may be improper English, but it just so happens to be a word contained within the titles of some of the greatest popular songs ever written, several of which are represented here. My personal favorites among these are #5 and #8. Which ones do you like best? (This doesn't *have to* be a rhetorical question.) ~ JH
