I get off on challenging music - if a song is annoying, I'll listen the hell out of it to find out why. Same with good songs
See, years ago I used to find
this song annoying. I'd be stocking a shelf in the store I worked in, it would come on, and I'd get all punk rock and grumble to myself "man turn this shit
off. I can't wait to get home and crank "
My War".
I've been revisiting a lot of this stuff - pretty much Lite FM - not only due to nostalgia, but to learn from it. What drove the pop machine when autopilot started kicking in during the 70s.
Then again, for me it's not so much songs that are annoying - it's jingles.
I just wiped a whole paragraph here cuz I started ranting about jingles...
