    OK except for "Smells"-I just never liked the production/mix. Here's some random songs I always get pumped up hearing:
    #1: Tupac et al: "California Love"
    Terrible Ted Nugent: "Dog Eat Dog"
    Genesis: "Behind The Lines" "Follow You Follow Me" "Misunderstanding"
    Blue Oyster Cult: yes, "Don't Fear The Reaper (live)" but also "Dominance and Submission (live)" "Take Me Away" "Shadow of California" "Feel The Thunder" "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" "Astronomy (both versions)" and a bunch of others ["Burning For You" I'm maybe slightly OD'd on]
    Motorhead: "The Ace Of Spades" "The Chase Is Better Than The Catch" "Overkill"
    k.d. lang: "Western Stars" "Pulling Back The Reins"
    Bee Gees: oof, all those big disco hits
    KC and the Sunshine Band: all their biggest disco hits
    Duran Duran: "Ordinary World" "Reach Up (For The Sunrise)" "Rio" "View To A Kill"
    Peter Gabriel: I love "Solsbury Hill" especially live, but I think "Sledgehammer" would actually tickle me more these days. "Rhythm Of The Heat" live is also cool.
    Boston: jeez, the whole first album.
    Billy Joel: my favorites of his are not the usual suspects. OK, is "Captain Jack" as usual suspect? My favorites of his are actually latter day: "While The Night Is Still Young" is perhaps tops, along with "Downeaster Alexa" and I always like hearing "River Of Dreams"
    Iron Maiden: there is not enough space in this thread! Tops "Where Eagles Dare" "To Tame A Land" "Caught Somewhere In Time" "Wicker Man" "Wrathchild"

    And now, "That's Why God Made The Radio"
    Love "California Saga" (including Al Jardine's solo version). Just hearing that "On my way to sunny California" lyric is MY story, getting teary eyed just thinking about it. Mom told me once "I always knew you were my California baby, and you would not stay here (Chicago, love ya, but not as much as Cali!)
    Along those lines and for similar reasons, I never tire of "California Dreaming" whether by the Mamas and the Papas, The Beach Boys, or their kids (Wilson Philips)

    May the good Lord have pity on thee...

    Actually I do still find it fascinating in a sick kind of way. I once saw him, when a friend insisted on buying me a ticket and taking me along with his girlfriend (not sure why, I kinda guessed they were newly dating and he wanted a buffer/convesationalist? Anyway, the show was really good, and totally PACKED)

    No prob. I think it's endured for me because it's accurate, you know? I mean, things really are like that.

    ABBA's 'SOS'. I would kill to write a chorus like that one.

    Just because it's the only song like that they did. Also love the rock/disco fusion thing happening.

    I too never got tired of Free Bird. This is also true with Somebody To Love and Pinball Wizard.

  17. The only overplayed songs I ever got sick of are the ones I disliked to begin with.

    It's quite clear that some posters here are SO eager to post that the cannot even take the time to actually READ and UNDERSTAND a simple thread title.

    47.5 years of listening and I haven't gotten sick of any Lennon - McCartney tunes other than The Long and Winding Road.
     
  22. I did take the time to actually READ and UNDERSTAND the thread title.

    It's quite clear that some posters here are SO eager to post snide comments that they cannot even take the time to actually READ and UNDERSTAND how ridiculously petty they sound.

    I'm surprised it hasn't been named 4 pages in. Does that mean everyone but me is at least a little sick of it?
