leginten Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 It happens all the time. A song comes on the radio, a truly great - indisputably great - song that’s so good it’s probably a part of you in some way, but because you’ve heard it so many times, something inside you says “no thanks”. Happened to me just now. Making dinner in the kitchen and ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ came on. My youth, my past, magnificent song and singing, but it’s a struggle. Here’s another example from a guy whose music I love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Pretty much the entire Stones catalogue. Loved the Stones in my teenage years and early twenties. Still do. But if one of their songs comes on Spotify or something, I'll normally skip it. Every now and again, I'll let it play and think "Man, I forgot how good a tune this is" but then inevitably skip it the next time it comes on.

I was thinking ‘Brown Sugar’ and ‘Honky Tonk Women’ as I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Totally get the Beatles thing. Late 1980's, a bit of a stoner, I loved them. Couldn't get enough of Revolver, Mystery Tour, Pepper, White Album and Abbey Road. Can't listen to them now. The Kinks, however, remain. Perhaps just once a year, after a few beers, headphones on when the family are kipping...bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Heroes (Bowie) I love to boogie (T-Rex) (More a great band rather than the song) Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen) A few Elton John songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William H. Bonney Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 When I was a teenager I had one of those rocks greatest hits albums so songs like: toto - hold the line Boston - more than a feeling bachman Turner overdrive- you ain’t seen nothing yet queen - bohemian rhapsody and a shit load more. Songs I played over and over again I turn off as soon as I hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

been here before Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Absolutely the Beatles. Used to have all their albums on my phone but spent more time skipping past them than actually listening to them. Finally took them all off a few weeks ago.

Robbo-Jambo Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 ELO The album A New World Record Used to love that album to bits but would now struggle to play it. Don't know why that one in particular tbh. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 I guess this song is a classic. Loved it instantly, bought the album. I would run a fecking mile before I listened to it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri Alban Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Not a great song in my eyes. But if I ever hear that 'Don't stop believing' by journey, ever again, Coronavirus better take my soul.

Fair enough on the Elton as he is overplayed but personally love his live version in The Opera House of Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me Bennie and The Jets and Crocodile Rock though can go in the bin.
