....agree totally, Sinead is like an icepick in the ear...and bit of trivia?..."American Pie" was hilarious back in the day, when we actually spun vinyl, coz on a 45 they couldn't fit the whole song on one side-half was pressed on one, half on the flip! You actually had to have two singles on seperate turntables, and hope you were smooth enough to blend them together-truly "disc jockeying"....

Since I've managed to avoid most of the crappy songs/artists of today by not watching Idols or any other "talent shows", I had to take a journey back to the Dark Ages of Music, the 1990's. From the year 1993: Informer by Snow, all I can say is

"Young Girl" by Gary Pucket and the Union Gap. It always makes me think that the singer's a pedophile.

Same with Neil Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon"

I don't really HATE the song "Ode to Billy Joe" I just wish I knew what was going on. What were she and Billy Joe throwing into the water (specifically the "muddy water off the Tallahatchee Bridge.")?

This one always makes me cry, too. It's a sad story about one of the Marines who hoisted the flag in that famous picture from WWII at Iwo Jima. (A proper Marine's daughter knows these things.)

Any song they use for Swifer Sweeper commercials usually will annoy me.

Look, I think Stairway To Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody are two of the greatest songs ever written . . . but I can't listen to them anymore. I hate radio sometimes . . .

Add Hotel California to that...

...the classic rocker I work for has a highly limited playlist...three plus decades of radio experience tells me Pink Floyd had more hits than "Money" and "Comfortably Numb"...and AC/DC has more than "Dirty Deeds" and "Back in Black"!!!!! Just a few things that drive me nuts about that network....GAHHHH!!!!

They were throwing flower petals off the bridge. Not...you know. And I agree with you about Gary Pucket and Neil Diamond. There was an envelope shouldn't been pushed.

Like almost every other classic rock radio station in the US. I just can't understand why they only play 2 or 3 songs from an artist when there are so many to choose from. How many hundreds of songs does Eric Clapton have? Why can they only play 4 or them?
