Weird isn't fun? And are you arguing that Neutral Milk Hotel isn't fun? Because we most own different copies of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, which is a pretty fun album.

As I said, I love Neutral Milk Hotel. Or rather In the Aeroplane Over The Sea because they don't have much other output. But I have never once had more fun at a party because I was familiar with their material. If I go to a bar with a bunch of college kids at it, I'm gonna have more fun if all of the songs are ones that I have listened to and know. That's just the way it is. Ya'll should try it. I used to be the same way about not liking pop music. Then I realized I was being too much of an elitist about it rather than maximizing my enjoyment listening to music.

then you have clearly never been drinking with Jeff Mangum. And how is the "party standard" any sort of standard of the quality of music? I find that I enjoy a party regardless of the quality of the playlist. A good party usually has cool people and alcohol. Food optional. I've been to great parties with no music whatsoever and terrible parties with really cool playlists. This is the single most bizarre standard ever concocted for the quality of a record.

I mean, what raging a-hole storms out of a party because the host is playing a song they don't like? "THIS IS bullshite! HOW DARE YOU DOUCHENOZZLES PLAY JOURNEY?! I'M A FOREIGNER FAN FOR LIFE! JUKE BOX HERO! PISTOLS AT DAWN!"

I like plenty of pop music. As mentioned above. I like Beyonce. I have not heard Taylor Swift's album, so I have no opinion on it either way.
