i don't mind the popular stuff either. of course i don't like every song that comes out, but there are several pop-rap songs that i like. i kind of enjoy the shamelessly slick production. and you can't really get a crowd of people moving to a song that 5% of them have heard.

i don't even mind some of the faster tempo pop songs, but i don't actually own any of it. most of the music i own is pretty rare.

i'm more embarrased by the music i loved 3-4 years ago: radio classic rock. i have just heard the same 4 songs by the doors too much (and they've reduced rush's catalog to tom saywer). the chain-smoking dj's saying stuff like "now here's more of the greatest music ever made..." it's a joke. it would be like if they played "get low" every day for the next 35 years.
