Snobbery?

I will readily admit that I'm a snob when it comes to music.

Pretty much every song that comes on the radio will be dissected and torn apart to reveal it as utter crap.

However, in listening to my iPod today, I've come across some radio songs from the past 15 years that I've enjoyed.

There are two Fastball songs which enjoyed considerable airtime in the late 90s. I think everything about "The Way" was brilliant and "Out of my head" is the best Bracket song never written.

I've also got the Smashmouth song "Walking on the Sun" which catapulted them into the spotlight many years ago. My excuse there is that it reminded me of the Doors and we played it in college, with me faithfully and flawlessly reproducing the organ line.

I have two Soul Asylum songs, "Just like anyone" and "Somebody to shove" which were rock radio smashes when I was 16 and 17 years old. Mention Soul Asylum to a Twin Cities rock fan and they'll shake their head while talking about how great they were back when they were on an indy label. I disagree.

One of the slightly more obscure radio songs I have is Harvey Danger's "Flagpole Sitta" which I always thought was just a great, catchy pop song.

I think the fact that I'm having to defend having these songs makes me a snob. What do you think?
