I'm not a Pop music expert by a long shot, and today's music is not on my playlist. Press PLAY to get an idea about what "crashed and burned" along with why by an interested musician...

Submitted for fans of Auto Tune, so-so songs, and low-end artists, a year end assessment of Pop music. "Todd in the Shadows" has an archeological dig's worth of bones to pick over for this about-to-end year. The "Honorable Mention" list is almost as long as the Top Ten main list. Not having heard any of these songs before, I'm neutral/disinterested in this list. What say you, youngsters? (If any, that is.;)

Get your Wayback Machine motor running, "Todd in the Shadows" looks at Mungo Jerry's 1970 hit, "In The Summertime." Why did this "jugband-simple" song make the #1 lists across the world? Who is "Mungo Jerry" and did he (or his band) ever record anything else? "Todd" says something about a "motorcycle" at the end of the song, but I thought that was a "jalopy with a badly tuned/misfiring engine, limping off into the sunset."
