Stephen King writes:
That famous philosopher (and banjo picker) Steve Martin once said, ”Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.” I couldn’t agree more. Of all the things I write about for EW, pop music’s the hardest, because a columnist doesn’t get paid for saying, ”I dunno, I just like it.” But can I really explain why I love ”I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry and would be delighted never to hear Taylor Swift’s ”You’re Not Sorry” again? No. All I can say is that I find ”the taste of her cherry ChapStick” in ”Girl” entrancingly sexy, while everything about ”You’re Not Sorry”… makes me sorry. So pardon me if I sound inarticulate in what follows. It’s my list of the best music I heard this year, the stuff that hit my sweet spot. If you disagree, it’s because you dance to different architecture.
