Score one for pop music! I gotta agree with Darius on this one. I actually like Timberlake in almost all respects... my biggest reservation is that he is pretty much still recycling his 80s influences like Jackson rather than carving out his own distinct persona, but that's a small concern when his music is so agreeable. Honestly, guys, the worst I think you could call it is inoffensive.

And Jim, c'mon! Your music listening would be appreciably better if Pharell and Timbaland didn't exist? I doubt it! Live and let live, my friend! Hip hop can and does peacefully coexist in a world that contains the Ramones. ;-)
