On That Note: (Don't) Touch That Dial

[MeanDean]

This one drove me crazy back when it was a hit. I can almost appreciate it now. Almost.

 

[MeanDean]

Another one I will get slammed for hating.

"Urgent Urgent Urgent, Emergency."

I saw Foreigner is coming to Cedar Rapids and for a split second thought, "Yeah, maybe?" Then I realized they will play this song. No thanks.

That one's okay, but I hate this one:

Can pretty much put any song that 98.3 The Vibe plays as feels like it is on an hourly loop. My kids want that on the radio in the car these days. I can pretty much predict 5 songs I will hear at some point.

This is one of those songs that as soon as I hear it the channel is turned

Beyonce's Country song and "Put a ring on it" I hate those 2 songs

I thought about putting Tipsy on my list too with the Apt song. I like the song in general but it's been overplayed to where some people are getting sick of it.

I'll stop just short of "Agree," but definitely low on my list of Petty.

It doesn't truly go anywhere, and takes too long to not get there.

 

[MeanDean]

That one's okay, but I hate this one:

I'll trade you 10 "I Want to Know What Love Is" for 1 "Urgent."

I know it's wrong to speak ill of the dead, but The Carpenters always made me run for the Pepto.

So, you found no "urgency" to attend the show?

Head East's "Never Been Any Reason"

This was played at nearly every house party during my ISU years/ It's not a bad tone, but overused.

Some these choices are killing me but not going to give a disagree rating because it goes against our overall group ideal of keeping this thread a place of positivity.

I hesitated to go find this song on you tube for fear it would result in an ear worm. It exemplifies just about everything I dislike about late 70's/80's pop/rock (sorry, to all those who came of age in that era): pedantic keyboards, pretentious guitar riffs and vocals. Little in the way of creativity. It sounds like a series of hooks designed to be played endlessly on the radio. And to my regret, they succeeded.

I'll never get sick of it.

I refuse to listen to this song. Saw them with Journey a couple of years and when they played it, I left to go to the bathroom and get a beer. I'm a tad superstitious and I've had some bad things happen when this song was on the radio or TV in my earlier years. Felt like I was cursed so I everytime I start to hear it, I immediately turn to another station.
