Songs you just can't listen to anymore - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Warm & Fuzzy · 11-21-2009, 04:16 PM

Are there songs out there that you absolutely cannot listen to anymore? Songs you've heard a million times? Songs you hear at every other singing audition? Every other wedding? Party? Radio station? etc?

For me, those would be "Over the Rainbow," "Amazing Grace," and "What A Wonderful World."

Classics? Yes.
Works of art? Of course! No doubt.

But please don't force me to listen to them, and please don't sing them either!

"Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin gets my vote. It was probably the most popular song among teenagers when I was in high school in the late 1970s. Back then, if you asked a typical high school student to name their favorite song, they would almost always say "Stairway". They wouldn't say the full title, "Stairway to Heaven"; they would just say "Stairway".

Despite all that, I never really liked this song very much. I always thought it was kind of dreary and depressing, for some reason. Nowadays I can't stand hearing it on the radio or anywhere else.

Same here, and anything by the Eagles especially "Hotel California"

I kinda like "Lay Lady Lay", but I so can do without anything Clapton does.

A lot of classic rock music and 1980s music. I loved it a lot during the 90s and during the nostalgia binge earlier this decade, but now it has grown old on me. It doesn't help that now all the current artists are trying to sound or are trying to be as 1980s as possible, which is driving me further away from current music. It's like I can't go forward or backward.

Sure, a lot of these new artists may imitate the 1980s but they'll never duplicate the awesomeness that was Robert Palmer (They have been imitating him from the 1980-1988 period in some form but giving no proper credit).
