I was in an airport the other day and bought a SPIN magazine, the first in many years. Apparently The Killers are the Band of the Year. I have never heard them until tonight when I checked out "Mr. Brightside". SPIN calls it "lusciously melodramatic". I must have missed something. It wasn't bad, just not particularly luscious or melodramatic. Hmmm.
I have long suspected that I'm too old to comment on Popular Music these days, but a quick scan of the "20 Best Singles" may have proved it. I have never heard of fully half of the bands. Of those I had heard of, I have only heard three of them - Gwen Stefani, Green Day and Kelly Clarkson. I have a lot of catching up to do, and that may not be all that rewarding.
I do kind of like the Fall Out Boy tune - "Sugar, We're Going Down" (ranked second behind something by Gorillaz Inc.). It was lusciously melodramatic.
