I made an effort this year to listen to popular bands and artists that I never caught on to.

Rock and Jazz are dead music forms and I've generally tried to avoid listening to modern people flogging the dead horse of rock and Jazz. It's fine to enjoy modern rock and Jazz but neither are significant cultural forces anymore.

Nonetheless I gave the Foo Fighters the old college try.

It reminded me of a lot of stuff that other people did twenty years before them. It was fine but I'll never listen to it again. It made me want to listen to Superchunk.
