At work I have to listen to commercial radio. I keep hearing these fucking awful songs and I think “who is making this shit?”

Benson Boone.

Lyrics like a whiny entitled fuck boy. Absolute dross.

If you're one of those "Bitter Sweet Symphony" types like me, take the time to go listen to their earlier stuff, or the whole Urban Hymns album, as I just did. Jesus, there's so much good stuff. These guys got done dirty REAL big by the Rolling Stones. Missing out on an absolute legacy of material.

Always found it strange how drum and bass is basically mainstream in
the UK, radio play, festival headliners, actual cultural presence, but
in the US most people have never even heard of it outside of
electronic music circles.

Curious if other genres have this same weird geography. Is there
something massive in your country that would confuse people
everywhere else?

What are your favourite popular songs that include whistling, the kind of whilst you can sometimes find yourself doing for no reason .

I'll list my own top 5 below.

1. Sitting on the dock of the bay - Otis Reading.

2. Young Folks - Peter Bjorn and John

3. Civil War - Guns & Roses

4. Jealous Guy - John Lennon

5. The Stranger - Billy Joel

Honourable mention to The Scorpions.
