Trout Mask is rock, not noise, silly. Tongue

Oh, I thought of one today. That "son of a gun we're gonna have big fun on the bayou" song. Wouldn't care if I never heard that again. 

Can't really think of a prog example.

I forget the name of the group here, but the song which has all this bullsh*t at the beginning and the first line is "wake up kids, we got the dreamer's disease...." Makes me f**king puke when I hear that through the muzak at work....
I want to get the master tapes and every format it appears on and put it all in a nuclear capsule and send it to the farthest reaches of the universe for disintegration............
......yeah, the next time that song comes on will be too soon

Your friendly, neighbourhood grocery store. Work sux but I need the bucks - no earbuds allowed......
On the rare occasion, they play Hawkwind's 'Silver Machine'
Still, that song I mentioned is 100% crapola and one of the worst songs, if not THE worst song I've ever heard. Makes The Black Eyed Peas sound Prog (almost)

Google search came up with the New Radicals' You Get What You Give. 

I can't say that I have heard that one based off of the band name and song title. 


YouTubed it and yep I have heard that before.  'Twas OK.

^ Same here. The first time I've ever heard it, though. They sound like an electrified version of Carole King. LOL

New Radicals, free radicals, whatever.....can't stand that song. I'm sure the lead singer would puke upon hearing Magma

Thankfully, I didn't hear the song today .......   although I heard a Graham Bonnet song that drives me up the wall, something about 'Baby Blue' - just another idiotic song I don't care for - incidentally, I always thought that it was Peter Frampton.......

Hey Tom, give a close listen the next time on your work radio you hear the Ronan Keating songs `Life Is A Rollercoaster' and `Lovin' Each Day'...they were written by that same New Radicals singer Gregg Alexander, and you can hear plenty of the same harmonies and structure that song you LOVE so much has!

Actually, I remember those Radicals had a second song called (I think) `Someday We'll Know', which was not quite as bad. I'd still never want to hear it again, but it was blandly pleasant and catchy.

Caravan-Golf Girl
Yes-Owner Of A Lonely Heart

Quite like London Calling by the Clash. They were not my favourite punk band though (The Stranglers or Siouxsie and the Banshees)

Van Morrison yep. Grumpy old b*****d that seems to be held in ridiculous reverence yet I only know of one song of his that  I've ever heard

Don McLean maybe a little harsh

Bowie I would probably go for Lets Dance but we are splitting hairs admittedly
Tongue

I quite enjoy "Rock The Casbah" by The Clash, particularly in these times! 

Our only rock FM station anymore, WLUP-FM, may as well call themselves "All Led Zeppelin, All The Time!"  yeesh!  Enough already! 

The other stuff they beat to death are "Dark Side of the Moon," if I hear "Money" again I'll hurl!  

Mind you, I play all that stuff on guitar and bass, but it is just so mindless....the DJs have no imagination at all.  Zero.

Mainly because I've heard them way too much:

Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple
Back In Black - AC/DC (amongst others)
Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi
Walk This Way - Aerosmith
Every Rihanna song that is known to exist

I vaguely recall seeing some interview with that main guy years ago, maybe like on some dogsh*t `Video Hits' type show or something. What's worse than that is that I actually remembered that information!

Anyway, I'm off to hit myself in the head with a hammer, try to forget some stuff!

Sadly, I suspect a lot of them have plenty of imagination -- they are just forbidden to use it.

So change that to "station managers" or whoever their corporate puppeteers are, and that's prob more like it.

They only follow what the market says, so change that to "mainstream culture."

And they get their taste in music from the radio...
