A Flock of Seagulls should never be tolerated....;^)
I have the same problem--"Sweet Home Alabama", for instance, is un-listenable anymore. Don't get me wrong--great song, but I've just heard it too many times.
Because even with an extensive music collection, and I have a halfway decent one, there are still songs that you hear that you don't have the CD for that you have forgotten about that plainly blow you away just like the first time you heard it.
There is absolutely still a market for radio. The best stations play an eclectic mix, not all oldies or 80's/90's or current hip hop or rock or country.
I have purchased many, many CD's for songs I love. You play it over and over. That's great because you can hear it whenever you want. But, what tends to happen is that song gets worn out fast that way. There is something to be said for the sheer joy of hitting the tuner button and just finding it there. It's like someone wrapped your radio in a ribbon and gave it to you as a present for three and a half minutes.
I'm a "child of the sixties" (born in 1954) and I love all kinds of music (except rap and most hip-hop). Some of the "new" stuff is really very good -- Rob Thomas, Maroon 5, Vertical Horizon, Anna Nalick, etc. etc.
LOL. My nieces cringe at the thought that I, at 51, like some of the same music they listen to.
"But thank you so much for not mentioning publicly my brother Leroy who is going to Miss State."
*GASP*
No wonder you want to keep that private.
That's worse than Lamar, who is doing 20 to life for crimes against nature on the hog farm.
You State fans (I think there are some) know I'm just teasin' y'all. ;o)

Now now now my Oklahoma born Mother's name is Patty Sue. Show some respect! ;>)
"I'm not."
ROTFLOL!
You are such a mess. ;o)

My great great grandma was named Maude. She was a pretty tough old bird. She formed the original Maude squad.

"A Flock of Seagulls should never be tolerated"
Especially while you are having a picnic at the beach!
Stairway to Heaven?
That was a great Neil Sedaka song back in 1960.
"Climb up,way up high."
I've heard Good Vibrations too many times.
I used to love it, but then I snapped and couldn't take it anymore.
