Here's what I don't get: there are so many better choices. Even if your selection paradigm is tighter than Miley Cyrus's virgin butthole. (I'm assuming that last part. I'd love to find out and report back, though.)
Even if you say:
- No heavy metal, speed metal, thrash metal, death metal, or anything else Middle America, seniors, or parents could get upset about.
- No black hardcore hip-hop.
- No more Al Davis-aged rock-n-rollers.
- Must be something likable in an easy-listening sort of way, and yet popular.
- Must still somehow be interesting, upbeat, and not put you to sleep.
Given those guidelines, you can turn on any modern rock, alt-rock, college rock type of station and pull a handful of "new" bands who have a good sound and are popular. Even if you have to lump together a few bands and have them do snippets. Jimmy Eat World, Fall Out Boy, Death Cab For Cutie, Kings Of Leon, My Chemical Romance, whatever. I would've rather heard short versions of "My Best Theory" and "I Don't Care" or something along those lines.
