xmas songs - blehh.

I hate having to go to a supermarket during Christmas time and enduring all those barfy Christmas carols ad nauseum while I am trying to think what to buy. And the shop staff that might be wearing read & white hats or reindeer antlers. Thank goodness I don't live in part of the world where people turn up on your doorstep singing Christmas carols and acting sickeningly "nice". The very same people that hypocritically, every other day of the year, pursue their selfish, immoral and materialistic way of life.

Music to banish from this cosmos

1. Anything made by Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, AFI... Nothing but a bunch of overpaid pretty boys with little to no musical talent whining about their love-life to misguided teens.

2. All so-called "gangsta-rap". This genre is possibly the most foul and degrading abomination ever to slither out of the cesspool of musical waste.

3. All bubblegum pop, such as Brittany Spears, Hillary Duff, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilara, etc.

Without a doubt: Your Cheatin' Heart by Hank Williams Jr (I think).

I was stationed at Mt. Home AFB, Idaho in the mid 60's and it seemed they played ("back by Popular Request") that song 30+ times a day. Problem was that it was the only station my radio would pick up.

Still makes me crazy when I hear it, although the Good News is that my favorite station plays only Classical, so I'm generally protected😉

Best Regards,

"Come on Eileen" - Dexys Midnight Runners.

Actually one of my favourites! Must be that it did not get that much airplay in South Africa.

but I actually like most of Spandau Ballet's stuff.

Me too!

Anything by the Eagles, U2, or post-Police Sting.

Eagles you can add to my cringe list as well. Sting is actually on my favourite list...but thanks for letting me know that Sy...that way I won't play it when you come by my house again.

Anything by Greenday, American Idiot onward. Guess you have to pile on the eyeliner and start cranking out unexciting music to win a Grammy.

Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton. I will slit my wrists if I have to listen to this song one more time. And while I'm at it, add Wonderful Tonight to my list.

...and add another check to the anti-U2, Eagles, and Sting side of the ledger.

R, you da man.

My swipe at Phil Collins- for his Live Earth gig, his band is using a 10 megawatt stage lighting system. We don't mention the star-toting Gulfstream G4s crowding the airspace, after all, they pay indulgences, errrr, carbon credits. I don't know what these guys are going to play, but I'm cringing already.

With these TV shows where they try to find new members for the rockbands , I always congratulate the guys who use Killers' songs... good music, done with shoddy voice... easy to do better than originals!!!!!

But if you realy want to irritate me, how about some Josh Groban, or however you spell it... or that other manchild crooner, whose name slips me now... Think its Micheal something...

...and I thought the Gores hated music

Yeah, the Live Earth concert is killing me. That's the second time the Gores have used music to pursue political ambition. I noticed Dee Snyder wasn't invited this time around, though 🙄

I would like to add the entire Dave Matthews Band catalog to my cringy song list. Also the Beastie Boys' album, To the 5 Boroughs, in its entirety.

Well maybe you (the US) should not have given him a green card....then he would probably have been unknown forever....being a wage slave somewhere in South Africa.
