DJ, you're tripping man.
You really think She's So Perfect is up there with the absolute worst music in the mainstream?

In my eyes, it's one of the better radio songs at the moment. It's fun, it's catchy, it's got sing-song vocals. What more does anyone want from a pop song. It's a big summer anthem.

I think you could make that case for a lot of the new boy bands, One Direction, Union J, etc. I could see why the concept of young males like that getting so much attention and fame might annoy people, but to say their music is the WORST stuff on radio is a far fetched statement.
As pop music, it's actually pretty good. I don't think there's a great difference between the quality of music they're putting out and what Backstreet Boys/Nsync before them put out.

And nobody at the time said either of those bands were the absolute WORST of radio.

Nah I'm just saying they're not that good and someone emulating them with a banjo player isn't good either.

Wait, I thought everybody did. Wasn't that the point of boy bands? That every guy under the age of eighteen thought they were a crime against music and heterosexuality?

I know REM are far from experimental, but hey Stipe and Buck were the best pop songwriters since Lennon/McCartney.
