Anything by Joan Baez makes my worst-list. Who is that?...and could this "artist" be proved to be a challenger to "Eddie Arnold"? LoL's

My kids love that song. I thought that was "Herman and the Hermits."

Do you regret buying it?No, but I do regret buying 'Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols.'

Most anything by
Queen. If I hear "Another one bites the dust" again, I will scream.
Pink Floyd song "Another Brick in the Wall" has about the same affect on me. I can't stand to be in the same room it is playing.

Free Bird was a good song the first 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times I heard it on the radio. After that, I kind of thought it sucked. Maybe it's just me.
To: LowOiL
oi! some of Queen is QUITE good.
anything can get killed by overplay.
had a stoner neighbor in college, played NOTHING but Floyd nonstop.
Couldn't stand Floyd for about a decade afterwards.

Agreed. Midnight at the Oasis is a great song.
I am 37 years old and listen to this AM station that only plays standards.
'Moon River', anything by Ray Charles, etc., are all classics.
Hell, I like anything by ABBA. I even won a pizza and a Rush Limbaugh coffee mug by calling this station and singing the entire song "Dancing Queen" from memory - correctly!
To: Bug
Freebird? Son, that's Gospel Music where I come from.
My nomination for most hated song is "the Little Cafe" by Jay and the Americans (played four times a day every day all year on WOMC in Detroit).

OTOH... Big Country's whole second album "Steeltown" rules the roost. Any song remixed on it was gold, pure gold.

nope, you're not alone.
I'd hate to be a cover-band where I now live.
"Hey, mayuhn, 'own'chew puhlayy suhm Skinnert?"
"Heyuhll yeah! Freebird, mayuhn!"
...every damn gig.

OK, you hit a hot button here. I was just thinking today that Manfred Mann should be made to live in Saddam's spider hole for the rest of his life. And, talk about butchering some of Springsteen's greatest stuff.

Think that Peter Jackson would consider using that video as the model for a feature length adaptation of The Hobbit?
