i'm assuming you like Sad Songs in honolulu, but not Alligators.
(think about it.)

Agreed. He should look at himself in the Mirrors and say "you know what, two records are a bit much."

I just tried to for like 10 minutes, and I couldn't. would have made a great comment.

TU- aw, dammit.

agree with all of that except for The National. Those guys are incredible (though I see why you would feel that way.)

That's how I feel about Dawes. (I know that Dawes transcends words such as "Good", but I'm talking about the band itself, not the meme based off of the band.)
Perpetually pleasant.

I don't know who that is.

Jay Sees what you did there.

watch it be the season finale of Community.

Fuck you, the Smash.

Thank you, VanDerWerff, for actually saying that "Goonies" sucks. They should do a HateMovie feature, where people have to explain why they hate movies that other people love (such as The Goonies)

No. It's real:

if we are, throw in the Ben Folds Five and Semisonic.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned DJ Earworm yet.

isn't that how fahrenheit 451 happened? censoring things that may have been hurtful to others?

I actually really like the lead singer's voice. it makes the songs more interesting. (maybe I'm just saying that because I'm a fan of Alt-J.)

Chad Kroeger.
EDIT: second dig at Nickleback I've done today. wow.

He may have been referring to the pop-punk band "Uncharted Shores", formerly named "One Direction":

@avclub-ba9fab001f67381e56e410575874d967:disqus I actually love everyone on that list, except for Nickleback and Mumford & Sons. (might as well throw in post-Abacab Genesis, not really a fan of "Invisible Touch.") I pretty much agree with everything your "And Barry Manilow!" comment said.
