    I wonder if anyone will admit it..I think pop music blows..the sad part is I bought my work truck brand new 5 years ago and it only has an am/fm radio and I dont really like talk radio either....the saddest part is, I even know alot/most of the songs on the radio by heart..what is wrong with me?

    Depends on what you consider popular music? If you consider Usher, Jay-Z or ... Madonna, then the answer is No, I don't. But I admit I like Christina Aguilera or ... Amy Winehouse.

    i like norah jones and shes pretty popular.
    i also like bjork, the flaming lips, and manu chao, and they're all pretty popular as well.
    but none of them are really "pop" music. but i dont dislike music for simply being popular. sometimes lots of people like them because they're actually good, not just because theyve essentially been created by record companies
    i will grudgingly admit to really liking the cardigans, and they're straight up pop.

    i dont know. i like what i like. i'm no musical coinnesseur or audiophile. i dont really follow whats popular, either though. i find new music through friends and online mostly. sometimes its popular, sometimes obscure (christine gunn is a good cellist i found completely at random, and i dont think shes very well known at all)

    The majority of it sucks, but some of it I can dig.
    I can totally dig lil wayne. while i see the hilarity and almost kitschyness of it, i just can't deny how great he is. he just flows so damn well.

    Sometimes I suppose. It depends on what you consider 'popular'.

    Nothings I listen to is that exotic. Zero 7 and Thievery Corporation exotic.

    I was actually thinking about this last night. but I think about it a lot, haha.

    it all depends on how you define "popular". are Sonic Youth popular? say that less than 5% of the population have heard them before, but they headline shows and are gods to a certain demographic of people.
    if by popular you mean stuff in the top 10, I do not like pop music. that isn't snobbery or puritanism on my part, I am just a very serious music fan and it doesn't catch my attention.

    Penny, do you like M83?
    I'll admit I'm just asking you because you are French.
