Flush this music

I've been compiling this list of artists (term used loosely) and groups, in my head for years.
It starts off innocently enough, you know you just keep hearing this song on the radio. Its catchy, nothing profound, but catchy. Then it is embraced by critics, or worse celebrities, as being 'ahead of its time', or cutting edge.... and then it is on the same radio station every two hours, argh!
I know, the solution is simply, change the station... sorry, the stations here are terrible; or get XM or Serious... sorry, I'm cheap and I'm not paying for radio; or listen to an MP3 player, well I do have one of those, but I'm decidely very 20th century, plus digging through all my CDs will take longer than I'd care to spend just to load music.... Plus, most of my favorite songs are on cassette, and again... I'm cheap, I'm not buying this stuff again on CD unless the tape wears out, oh and the time investment to transfer a cassette into the computer.... forget it.

So, I gripe, and complain. In an older post, I ranted on the talkative nature of idiot DJs who wish they could be a third rate call screener for a real radio show of the calibre of Don and Mike, hey I guess its just Mike now isn't it? Crappy local stations don't carry it. This is my rant on music itself.

So here is my list, and I warn you, it might just upset many of you. You'll say: "How dare he not like ____? They are/were genius" Well, blame it on overexposure on the radio, or maybe I bought the cassette and listened to it too much, or had a friend who wouldn't stop playing it, whatever... the point is, its my rant, and I've heard these singers and/or songs way too many times, and I'd be happier if I never heard them again. Or, in the odd case where I might have a particular album, I'll listen to it if I want, when and if, but probably never, I want to. Because, really there is enough good music out there to offer some variety.

Here goes, My list of stuff I hope to never listen to again, and would be much happier if I didn't:

Nickleback
Green Day
Jimmy Buffet
Live
Red Hot Chili Peppers (really, everything since Mother's Milk has stunk anyway)
INXS
U2
The Beatles (yeah, I said it)
Prince
Michael Jackson
Madonna
AC/DC
The Eagles
Kid Rock
Bruce Springsteen
Elton John
Billy Joel
Lynrd Skynrd (or however you spell it)
The Scorpions

to be continued.

so please, enjoy cinderella, urban dance squad, kiss, james taylor, elvis, dean martin, the beach boys, dick dale, young mc, pm Dawn, 3rd base... heck anyone that hasn't been on the radio in the past half-hour.
