Words that rhyme with Feedback
As a two-syllable word, feedback sits on the flat /æ/ and closes on a hard stop. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Its job in a lyric is a household-word, holding down whatever line it lands in. Search rhymes for feedback long enough and you notice the pattern: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, the family column is blank, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. The contemporary ear forgives — and prefers — the assonance matches here.

Why feedback rhymes the way it does
Feedback is built around a low-front /æ/ (/æ/); it's two-syllable and snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 191, assonance 5,176, and consonance 1. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Feedback works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
