But then Kiz would get the Baker back... As much as I would love to get my old Baker back (but I appreciate the ray of hope), this thread isn't about "groups we can't stand" or songs by random artists that we never liked and are now totally sick of. That's too easy. I'll never understand the popularity of Dexys Midnight Runners and their one mega hit, and as much as it makes me want to commit murder, it's not what I'm looking for here. What I'm looking for is songs by long established artists who you actually enjoy. My examples in the OP should explain it well enough. But just for fun... Some more examples: I never want to hear "Brown Sugar" again. The Stones were great. That song is finished. Ok - I'm going to do it. I'm going to go back on my original stance on Jimi Hendrix. I think I can go the rest of my life without ever hearing "Hey Joe" again. I know @jisham would agree. The Police's "Wrapped Around Your Finger". Please. No more. Another Ramones song: "Rock 'n' Roll High School". 'nuff said. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjammin308 175 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I could make a list but there's one that's far and above at the top. "Pour Some Sugar On Me". No, please don't. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That said, I HATE THE FUCKING EAGLES. *I could listen to Ray Charles sing Georgia on my Mind and Susan Tedeschi sing Angel from Montgomery for the rest of my life For their songs or the fact that they single handedly jacked up concert prices when "Hell Froze Over"? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just watched a documentary on Amazon Prime about the corporate radio takeover. Some of my friends worked for one of the biggest stations in my area and the stories they told me were very similar to the ones in the doc. It's called Corporate FM for anyone who is interested. Luckily there is a tiny station in Ashland, VA (WHAN) that plays whatever the hell they want to. If they say they're going to play a Cars song it will probably be Candy-o or Moving In Stereo or something even deeper. They also play deep country gospel on Sunday mornings and bluegrass a good part of the day. I often find myself saying "I know that's [whatever band] but I don't know that song". I've used Shazam listening to them dozens of times and I'm sure it will continue. The only problem is their signal is very weak. I live less than 10 miles from the station and you can only pick them up for about 15-20 so as soon as I leave the house I get about 5-10 minutes to listen to them before I'm out of range. KEXP in Seattle and KCSB in Santa Barbara are both great stations. You can live stream them both. KEXP has some of the best live shows youll ever find on Youtube . KCSB does have a lot of boring stuff too but you have pick and choose to find the good shows. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Funky Chicken 442 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Imma go with anything by the Doors anything that involves Natalie Merchant’s eternally flat singing Bad to the Bone-actually anything by that guy Most Stones tunes I am feeling particularly appalled tonight so I’ll stop myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BadgerDave 2,291 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Following The Kiz directive: I will alway be a fan of Cheap Trick but never need to hear Surrender, IWYTWM Dream Police or I Know What i Want again.

Biz Prof 4,890 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Also following the Kiz directive: Steve Miller Band: Still think the three-part harmonies and jangly tones were a nice departure from most other bands of that era, but I'll not miss hearing "Bingo Jed Had a Lighter", "Take the Money and Run", "The Joker", or "Fly Like an Eagle" ever again. The Who: One of my favorite bands, but thanks to Jerry Bruckheimer, I cringe whenever I hear "Won't Get Fooled Again" or "Who Are You". Enough, already. BTO: I like Randy Bachman's playing just fine and still enjoy spinning some Guess Who, but damn. Does anyone really need to hear "Taking Care of Business" one more time? Led Zeppelin: I'm a lifelong Zep devotee, but I have no more patience for "Fool in the Rain" and "D'yer Mak'er", especially given how much they've driven in the ground by FM radio.
