I'd like to take this opportunity, as a person on this list who has no
particular love for the typical "pop"-type songs in the world, to say
that "Don't Give Up" isn't all that bad.  In fact, it's pretty okay.
It's sort of a country/western-gospelly like number, which definitely
isn't my genre, but I like it any way.  It's nothing great, but it's
definitely worth listening to: orders of magnitude better than Lionel
Richie/Diana Ross crap, and significantly better arranged than "Not
This Time".
