I am never going to get caught up at work. I have been working from home (for real) since 9 a.m. on this glorious summer Saturday, and just to torture myself a little more, i decided to put on the VH1 top 20 countdown so that I can see how bad today’s music is. It is really really really really bad. Here is my assessment of the Top 20, on a scale from horrible to good. I didnt have time to write down the names of the songs, but does it really matter? (no)
20. Plain White T’s – ok
19. Usher – ok
18. Black Keys – good
17. Jason Derulo – horrible
16. Goo Goo Dolls – bad
15. Kris Allen w Pat Monihan – ok
14. The Script – bad
13. Kesha – horrible
12. Mike Posner – bad
11. Lady Antebellum – bad
10. Mumford and Sons – bad
9. Adam Lambert – bad
8. B.O.B. with Paramore – ok
7. Train – ok
6. Taylor Swift – bad
5. Katy Perry – bad
4. John Mayer – horrible
3. Rihanna/Eminem – ok
2. Paramore – ok
1. Sarah Bareilles – ok
So we have 1 good, 8 oks, 8 bads, and 3 horribles. I liked the Black Keys song a lot, but if I never hear any of these songs again, that will be fine by me.
And now, to contrast, I am listening to Casey Kasem’s Top 40 countdown from August 28, 1971. (CHANNEL 7 ON SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO, BITCHES!) I just popped it on to hear Joan Baez belting out “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”, which puts a cap in the ass of any of the jokers listed above. Stay tuned for the top 20 from way back when….39 years ago wowza. Shane was half a fetus and I was just a glint in my daddy’s eye.
