3 songs you love but can't stand listening to

[StratUp]

Layla
Stairway
Rocky Mountain Way

Joe Walsh on Rocky Mountain Way: "If I knew I was going to have to play it every day for the rest of my life, I would have written something else".

 

[crankmeister]

Death is Not the End (makes me too emotional)
Gloomy Sunday (makes me too emotional)
Baker Street (makes me too emotional (it was the theme song for my high school student radio show))

How do you feel about the Foo Fighters cover of Baker Street?

never heard it. i'll have to check it out.

 

[monte merrick]

not musically but as a consumer this sums up my Beatles/Stones experience. I can put Revolver or Beggars Banquet on repeat in my head whenever i want...

 

[El Gobernador]

I can relate. I think ... If I understand correctly.

It means I don't need to put them on to hear them.

 

[Baelzebub]

1. Born to run
2. Born to run
3 . Born in the USA.

Mallrat Rock

 

[PonyB]

This song is tied to a heartbreak from 1985, still hurts!

 

[jrbirdman]

I have only one. A commercial for Cars for Kids - 1-877 and so on. It's brilliant but I can't stand it, it's too invasive.

THANKS, NOW IT'S STUCK IN MY HEAD

 

[SalvorHardin]

1. Born to run
2. Born to run
3 . Born in the USA.

All of his.

 

[Stratafied]

All of his.

I agree with that!!

 

[Stratafied]

Mallrat Rock

Couldn’t have said it any better.

 

[Agtronic]

It means I don't need to put them on to hear them.

In that case I understand 100%. I am the same. And in stereo too ...

 

[vid1900]

1. anything by AC/DC
2. anything by Guns N Roses
3. anything by Metallica

??? That’s not possible is it?

If I'm understanding the intent behind this thread, I love Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"...but I fricken' hate that there's always someone in the room quick to exclaim "this song reminds me of (insert missing loved one here)". I know why Roger Waters wrote that song, I know the story. Its so cleverly written it speaks to every one of us that has lost someone. Some people feel so strongly about the song that there's no room for the rest of us to feel anything. It's made me hate it.

Sometimes I listen to them at faster or slower speeds, all in the name of cheap entertainment.

Better check the internet for that answer...

And, it's probably NOT the best song ever written. better check the internet on that one

 

[Jason D]

Anything that plays on the classic rock station. Led Zeppelin has an entire catalog of absolutely classic music and all we get on the radio are 3-4 different songs? Totally stupid.

My 3
Stairway
All Along the Watchtower
Jack and Diane

There are so many more. Basically, it’s just classic rock songs that I’ve heard 10 million times since I was a kid.

 

[Handsome McClane]

Money - Pink Floyd
Bohemian Rhapsody
Hotel California

All overplayed to death. I can't listen to them anymore.
