Are there any artists that you like very much that put out a stinker song (in your opinion) that gets airplay? For example:
Bob Seger - Hollywood Nights
Billy Joel - Big Shot
REM - Shiny Happy People
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven

Hall & Oates - Maneater
Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden
Whitney Houston - So Emotional
Cher - Believe
David Bowie - China Girl
Rod Stewart - Da Ya Think I'm Sexy
Beatles - Come Together
Doobie Brothers - Minute by Minute
Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen
Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire I actually like all of those
is it possibly because the radio stations overplayed the living shit outta them?
I'm not a fan of J Geils........... but if I never hear Angel is a Centerfold the rest of my GD life, it'll be too soon.

I'm not a fan of J Geils........... but if I never hear Angel is a Centerfold the rest of my GD life, it'll be too soon. I listed the wrong Whitney Houston song. I need to look up the name of the one I meant. Most of the songs listed above I hated from the first time I heard it. I really didnt like the entire Bowie album. It took years for Let's Dance to grow on me. Heard Maneater a lot this summer, still hate it. I wasn't much of a fan of the 80s Hall & Oates songs, I much preferred their 70s songs like Rich Girl, She's Gone and Sarah Smile. I tried to leave off songs I got tired of because they are overplayed. The hits pf yesterdsy and today radio station they played at the rehab kept playing the same oldies over and over. I heard Karma Chameleon, I Just Died In Your Arms, Black or White, Jessie's Girl and These Dreams & Alone by Heart at least once a day for 6 weeks. Alone is so overplayed as an oldie (second to only Don't Stop Believin). Play some 70s Heart instead. |

As for Old Time Rock and Roll...to be fair Bob didn't write that one.

Songs listed here that I like:
Take My Breath Away – overly lush, too much synth, but I like the emotion.
Hey, Mickey – cute pop song, bad video. I've loved Toni Basil since seeing her in Easy Rider.
Walk This Way – first heard it in a strip bar.
Stairway To Heaven – bad but a nice guitar break salvages it.

What was truly awful was Toni Basil's followup single, Shopping A to Z. Check it out: |

Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton I can't stand that song.
No idea why; I just don't like it.
I was also going to put China Girl by David Bowie down, but Toy Cannon has already put that one on his list.
