What the hell is wrong with Chicane - Don't Give Up??
Throughout my time on TA and other forums I have come across so much denigration of Chicane's Don't Give Up and I'm sick of it. This track has always been a personal favourite of mine. It's vocals transmit a happy, uplifting message and this track helped me through some tough times and I'm sure I'm not the only one touched by it.
This outburst was prompted upon reading a review of Somersault by some knobhead who states 'Chicane is mostly recognised for his Ibiza dance anthem ‘Offshore’ and exposing us to that dreadful Bryan Adams collaboration ‘Don’t Give Up’. LINK
I'm really surprised at the shallowness of some people.

I totally feel you on this one dude... It seems that if a song goes commercial it instantly generates animosity here on TA. Pretty stupid.
And it's funny that people knock Don't Give Up when they listen to that mindless unoriginal ASOT crap

Because not everyone is just like you?
Just because a song has personal resonance with you does not mean everyone who dislikes it must be wrong. If anything, the fact that the track has "helped you through some tough times" probably makes your view of it even more favourable, where as if you approached it with no emotional connection, you might see more negatives in it.

I'm not saying that everyone should like it, and I don't have a problem with people not liking it, everyone has different taste obviously, but what I do have a problem with is people violently attacking the song. I could go and dig up old threads and quotes to display all the savage adjectives used to describe the track, but cbf right now.

I think its a good track, Agnelli & Nelson remix is cute as well.

I think this track is fucking brilliant. I love the Original, I love the Radio Edit, I love the Disco Citizens Vs. Tomski Mix; and, as rare as it is for me to like a remake - I even like the Alex Gold & The Sound Express 2004 Mix.
Whoever this 'knobhead' is can fuck the fuck off.

It's probably the vocals, which I can imagine being a very love/hate part of the track. Personally, I don't really like them but I still think the track is alright, but I can see why they'd really irritate some people.
