I'm glad a lot of people are liking "For What It's Worth"... it actually frustrates me that I can't get into it at all, and I just can't figure out why exactly. I think the chorus evades me as though it doesn't exist when I listen, and the one note melody that begins the verses doesn't really agree with me either. I do like the guitar riff and the overall production has a very nice early to mid-70's folk/rock sound, which is probably the reason why I want to like this one so much.

I like it, but does sound rushed at times in the verses, and her vocal on the chorus is a bit too deep for my taste.
