<<nonentity =
a person or thing with no special or interesting qualities; an
unimportant person or thing.>>

I pretty much share his opinion of the record--it's not even on my
December playlist--but I have to say that this is the first time in my
life that I've ever heard the word "nonentity" applied to anything other
than a human being.
Turns out this is a correct use of the word, but I'm sure I've never
heard it used that way before.
