I couldn't handle the second Animal Collective. I like music which would be consider unusual to other people, but something about it didn't grab me at first. I like to identify with something in a song. Is Animal Collective on the charts or popular? Honestly I don't think I could name any recent Pop songs.

Here's a little "trick" one can do to find out whether Pop is improving or not. A good idea is to try to find songs from different bands with identical title and see which one you like. Take "All Summer Long" for example, I think the Beach Boys and Hatcham Social is clearly better that the Kid Rock song so it seems like Pop was good then turns bad then turns good again I guess, I don't really know if Hatcham Social is a Pop band or not. But if it isn't a Pop band that only proves another theory that the less mainstream a song is the better.
