Songs You Never Want to Hear Again

^ Agreed, 'tis a classic.

Agreed. Regrettably, my wife likes him

Boston's first album sounded pretty good when it came out, mostly because it was a new and original sound. Then they were played to death and beyond. Don't do a thing for me now. And they opened the floodgates to a seemingly endless flood of Corporate Rock that glutted the FM airwaves in the early 80s: Journey, Foreigner, Survivor, Bryan Adams, 38 Special. Blehhhh.   

With the exception of Journey's pre-Steve Perry material, I would be so content to never hear another song by any of them. Don't Stop Believing? Stop clogging my eardrums!

^ There are many factors for my blehhhh-itude toward Corporate Rock, some rather personal. Probably the major one was that, circa 1980 to 1982, I was forced to listen all damn day to a station at work that heavily rotated these bands. If not for that, I probably wouldn’t resent them so much.

I didn’t coin the term, BTW; I think it was an American journalist that came up with it.

The Cars were more New Wave than C.R., and while I was never a big fan of theirs either, I’ve always found them far less irritating.

The track Heartbeat City is a gem

Any of those songs overplayed back in Europe, especially in Russia.

ANYTHING that plays on radio nowadays, really. I've yet to hear something good play on radio when I happen to hear a radio playing.

Most of the music played on the radio these days is just not that good.  Makes me think that the vast majority of people out there simply have no taste.  They just like whatever is popular regardless if it's good.  Gangnam Style?  Give me a break!  Even stations that specialize in playing older, classic rock don't play good classic rock.  Just the same old Boston, Foreigner, Journey, Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, etc.  I either just play my prog cd's or seek out community radio stations that play classical or jazz.
