I always liked what my parents did, for the most part. They were into Springsteen, Billy Joel (we didn't start the fire was probably my favorite song when I was young), just to name a few...

then I got into metal, see megadeth, metallica, etc and denounced pretty much all other music. Now I like country music... what the hell? Well, not the hokey country music or the mainstream stuff, but if anyone has XM radio, Ch. 12 (progressive country, Xcountry) is amazing...

But having said that, I don't think mainstream pop and rap music, new and old, has ever been good (IMO). This electronicia garbage with people who have 0 ability but can be manipulated via technology to sound good. (Justin Timberlake is the exception here, as much as I hate his music, he can sing).

But going back to sattelite radio, not only do I not have to be subjected to an entire car ride full of advertising, I can listen to whatever the hell I want, when I want and not listen to the same playlist that was on in 1998 (see: CJ92.. seriously... patio lanterns? can we not retire that yet?)

I guess because I've never been a clubber and could count on 2 hands the amount of times I've been to a 'bar' is probably indicitive of how much I hate the music that is played there. Likewise, I'm sure perpetual clubbers love the music and can't wait to get out and boogie to it.
