Most people are just like me. We kinda dither through our lives doing nothing very bad and not much very good, and then we die and in 10 or 30 years we are wiped out of the world as if we'd never happened.
That's alright by me, it is the end reward for not being that good at things: as Charles Schultz had Linus put it, "100 years from now, who will know the difference?"
And of course it is also true of music and the bands that make the music. By definition, pop music is disposable and despite our every attempt, it remains as disposable as ever.
Most pop musicians are medicore, average, and doomed to be as forgotten as I am.
1. Cold War Kids -OK, I'll give em "Coffee Spoon" but these are the guys who told their audience not to mosh at T5
2. Dr. Dog – Always good for a song and album
3. Big Sean – Just because you have the name, doesn't make you Biggue or S Dot Carter.
4. Jason Aldean – Willie Nelson is rolling over in his grave (or at least he will be soon)
5. Ben Kweller – How average can you get? A Conor Oberst wannabe
6. Kelly Rowlands – Not to mention the other Destiny Child. No, not Beyonce, the other other one.
7. Slayer – The blandest thrash band in the universe.
8. B.oB – And throw in Wiz Khalifa while you're at it.
9. The Moody Blues – Clasic rock that isn't classic and doesn't rock.
10. The Eagles, ELO, Toto, -Thanks John Duffin and Jane Patterson for the suggestions!
