Come to Northwestern and take a straw poll. I'm sure many have heard of them, but probably a small percentage can name more than 1 or 2 songs.

Don't get me wrong; I'm a huge fan, but the average student isn't.

how can the OP say radiohead is bad music?

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

Well I'm in college and what I hear the most is. . . .


1. Air
2. Daft Punk
3. Radiohead
4. Some random Brooklyn 4 guys in ties sorta thing.
5. John Legend
6. Joanna Newsom
7. Kings of Convenience

For what it's worth, I've been in college for 4 years and I hate DMB and OAR.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

My top 5 (not sorted):
Aerosmith
Genesis
ELO
U2
Billy Joel

The bands I hear the most around campus:
FallOut Boy
OAR
DeathCab
Radiohead
DMB
80s pop like Journey and Foreigner

I've maintained that top 5 since high school. Unfortunately, a lot of 70s and 80s hits were ruined for me once everyone in my dorm had downloaded them. I remember playing drunk poker one weeknight and Freebird comes on. After a few chords, this one guy (not drunk) who has listened to nothing but metal before college proclaims "Guys, this is an awesome song," as if the song was an unfamiliar novelty. I shook my head in disbelief, and am doomed to remember this trivial shock every time I hear Skynyrd.

At least my favorite Journey song - Escape - is not a popular one by radio standards.

Your top 5 makes me want to throw a brick in your face.
