also I told them that I think I can say I don’t like 50s pop from the usa, but as we kept going I was like ‘well, I guess I do like [specific 50s pop song]’ and we kept having to narrow it down & sister thinks, specifically, I don’t like slow white doo-wop from the 50s. she might be right

#my ramblings #I don’t really like bobby vinton.#I find mr lonely insufferable to listen to.#blue velvet is ok I guess.#I like tennessee waltz fine.#I love the platters and I LOOOVE their cover of smoke gets in your eyes #I HATE LOLLIPOP I HAVENT THOUGHT ABOUT THAT SONG IN FOREVER #I like nat king cole but I feel like that’s more jazz than pop #tutti fruity is catchy but I don’t enjoy it #oh frank sinatra is on here. yeah I like most of his covers #the thing is tho some jazz covers do this thing with rhythm that I think gets in the way of my enjoyment #also still more jazz than pop. actually I guess sinatra is… basically pop culturally speaking. huh.#I do know I like swing & big band jazz #and I consistently like ragtime of course #ok I’m done going through this list of 50s songs #anyway this further proves that genres are too broad to make sweeping negative statements on
