averygoodun42I have an odd mix of songs running through my head. A Space Oddity (Bowie) has been on the radio quite a lot lately, and it segues surprisingly neatly into Ragdoll (Aerosmith) which I happened upon tonight. At least they blend together neatly in my head. ;-)

maebynot recently posted about five songs she can't listen to, and since reading her post, I've been trying to compile my list of five songs that I just cannot stand. I figured I'd confine it to the genre(s) I normally listen to on the radio, as there are way too many songs in pop, jazz and punk that are annoying enough to make me consider violent acts. (Note: There are many songs in pop, jazz and punk that I do enjoy. And I'm greatly oversimplifying the genres, btw.)
I still haven't come up with a complete list, but here goes what I have come up with:
Five(?) Songs I Cannot Physically Listen To
1. Seventeen - Stevie Nicks. It is too long. It is too repetitive. It is too... too. It doesn't help that I consistently mishear the chorus as being "Just like the one winged dove, sings the song sounds like she's singing, ooh, baby, ooh, ooh." The picture that brings to mind is not pretty. It's actually really horrid and pathetic.
2. Any power ballad by Journey, but especially Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'. Actually, there are very few Journey songs played on the radio that I like. There are a few I can get into, but only a few. Much like -
3. James Taylor. The only songs of his that are played on the stations I listen to are the really horrid, craptastically nauseating ones, like Fire and Rain. Yes, of course you've seen fire and rain. EVERYONE HAS! I don't know. When he rocks, he can lay out a tune masterfully, but when he's mellow, it makes me sick. And what I want to know is why are the mellow ones being played on the stations I listen to? You play "Tom Sawyer" and "Back in Black" and then "Fire and Rain"?!?!? COME ON PEOPLE! (Granted I haven't heard those three songs in one set. Yet.)
4. ...
I know there are others, but I can't think of them right now. And no wonder. It's past my bedtime.
