What's your favourite brand of mediocre?

Much is said about the fantastic and the terrible around these parts, but I feel the middle ground has come to be neglected somewhat. Celebrate the average by talking about what you personally find...just so-so. And why.

The type of opening band playing quietly enough that you can have a reasonable conversation over.

I like the solid but unexciting kind of mediocre, the kind that generally comes from an artist probably overextending themselves a little too far.

A recent example would be the meh-inducing Twista album.

now I'm gonna go home and listen to that.

well, I have to wait for the fax repairman to come before I can go home, but the Twista album is sitting there, waiting for me in it's failed glory.

Music that would otherwise probably be far more interesting/exciting had you not heard the style a gazillion trillion times prior.

I know the diff between it's and its. I just choose to ignore it sometimes because I'm a radical.

generic downtempo stuff makes good reading/fall asleep music

Hebrew National...decent and easier to find than Nathan's but without that inspiring "pop" when you bite into it.

I recently went to an April-March show. She sounded like a second-rate Boradcast.

also the new Air album...

David Gray and Gray Davis - separated at birth?

I will respond to this after I balance my checkbook, iron my socks and listen to a few telemarketers sell me car insurance.

bad current folk music is often mediocre. not horrible or anything, just many shades of grey. it's not my favorite brand though. my favorite brand might be 4 hour comps of mediocre dance music. i can listen to it, but it leaves no impression.

Light, harmless, indie dance-pop like The Other Two and Dubstar.

There's an extremely palatable compilation of Latin-tinged jazziness that drifts along into slightly more uptempo Latin-tinged hip-hop-inesss that has to found its way into the cd player at smallish, less-memorable bbq/dinners that I have had. I am not surprised that I can't recall its title. I'm sure "dulce" is in there, somewhere.

This is the thread where we reminisce over not particularly good Evening Session bands from the late 90s
