"Never Change" by Puddle of Mudd

Kansas City band Puddle of Mudd seemed destined to keep the rock flame alive through the 2000s. With a singer (Wes Scantlin) who sounds heavily influenced by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, this post-grunge outfit first landed on the chart with "Control," which reached #68 in 2001. 

The haunting power ballad, "Blurry," which soared to #5, really put them on the map. One more single from their impressive debut record hit the top 40: "She Hates Me" peaked at #13. It would also mark their last top 40 appearance as their subsequent records failed to generate any big singles.

Another noteworthy tune from their debut is "Never Change." Seemed to have "hit single" potential written all over it, but there were a lot of good songs from this album to be mined.
