there's a difference between SOME songs and ALL OF THE SONGS. I have yet to find a popular, current artist who is worth listening to, with some very limited exceptions. Music isn't ABOUT having a catchy beat. When you listen to music, it's supposed to make you FEEL something, to connect with it in some way. A good song makes you feel like you're a part of something larger, and NOTHING in the current pop makes me feel that way.
