Modern Muzak

I'm not very musically savy. Basically, if you look at my CDs, you will see 30+ Who and Townshend CDs. A dozen Beatles CDs. Assorted Floyd, my disney soundtracks, Yardbirds, Clapton, Derek & the Dominoes, and yes, even Elvis. But nothing even remotely recent. When the grammys happened, I got guilt pangs. So I bought a CD called the 'Grammy Rap Nominees' or something. Now I hate rap, but I felt like I needed to get in touch with a whole genre of music that I've been ignoring (I actually love DJ Shadow, but thats the closest I've got).

After listening to most of the album, I have to say that it isn't bad. Some of it is even gasp good. Busta, Wycleff Jean, and (the humanity) even the Beastie Boys. Sure, it ain't Tommy, but then again, what is?
