What are you NOT listening to?
 

Name one tune that you hope you never have to listen to again, ever.
Mine: "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

actually everything in this thread

Someone once said to me that you're not officially an adult until you enjoy Hotel California. I told him that Hotel California was a shit song, and I'd never enjoy it.

And, of course, I'm an adult now. Fucking awesome tune.

Anyway. I'd happily never hear killing the name again.

As someone who's forced to listen to the either the adult contemporary or classic rock station at work for 8 straight hours, there are many to choose from. Contenders are:

-Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape
-James Blunt - You're Beautiful
-Bob Seger- Turn The Page
-Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good
-That godawful Rob Thomas song that goes "come on over down to the corner my sisters and my brothers of every different color"

But the alltime champion is this travesty by this talentless, annoying hack:

"Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band

Too many songs to mention. I'll just add to the list with Journey.

Hey! I actually like that song!

Oh gawd Jenn!

My gf's best friend from childhood is a huge Buffet fan. I don't understand the phenomenon. Makes me hate themed restaurants even more.

every slightly to heavily drunk girl at the bar does tooo!!!!

I can only assume that you've never been drunk on a train.

In fact, based on this thread, I would seriously recommend that you all do a lot more drinking on trains. Or going to family weddings.

I was going to create a list that was more or less similar to what we've already seen in this thread and then it ocurred to me that I most always hear a lot of these tunes when out drinking, or actually at a late night eatery after drinking or as Glice said a wedding, and the thing is I love to hate most of these songs.

Take ''American Pie'', yes it is way overplayed, I've heard it thousands of times, at former jobs, on commercial radio, at stores, restaurants, everywhere, and I am sick with it, done.

BUT

A few months ago I was walking with a friend and her dog late at night/early morning. We had been drinking and we stopped at this all night falafel stand to get some food. The guy working the stand had a little shit radio that was playing this very song. Our friend had just died and we both were feeling a little woebegone, so she turns to me and says
''Do you have your flask?'' Which I did, but I asked her why
''Cause I fucking hate this song, but right now I really want to sing along with it.'' I snickered, got my flask out poured her a drink, took a deep long bite from it and sang along with her to American Pie.

And the fact that I knew it, was in so many situations with this song around, helped me enjoy the moment.

Thats what those songs are for, something to fall back on for us know-it-alls and something to look forward to for the general masses.

Besides all that sentimental melancholy ''needle in the hay'' prose, if I was sober or in a bad mood I'd tell the song to get fucked.

Lady Gaga
Lily Allen

A great song ruined by the radio Stairway to Heaven

I don't ever really want to listen to John Frusciante again. Not because I don't like his music but because I've attached it to so many bad memories.

currently for me its that calvin harris weekend song piece of shit... i agree theres a lot tho.

Chris Deere is a Computer Nerd

He is. and he's fat. he's always on his gundam websites and he thinks he's so
cool. he smells bad too.

The only thing Michael McDonald ever did that was worth half a shit was backing vocals for the Dan. That guy could be sued for how awful he is.
