Jim Fusilli, pop music critic for the Wall Street Journal, says music today is better than it's ever been. But it isn't being marketed to grownups, the audience that would appreciate it most.

The breadth of music today can be intimidating. Fusilli's new book, "Catching Up: Connecting with Great 21st Century Music," showcases 50 recent albums that intelligent adults can appreciate.

Dad Rock cohost Jim Lenahan sat down with Fusilli to discuss matters of modern pop.
