I'm not sure if there's a thread already for this, but just in case there isn't, I'll start one. Is there a song that you've heard over and over again, and it's REALLY getting on your nerves? Mine is "Centuries" by Fall Out Boy.

    Glad I have cool neighbors, when this happens I crank up some 80's hair music and rock out at about -10db, that will get it out of your mind quick.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    In the Basic Hookup and Wiring section. LOL.

    Now, back to business. Pretty much any and all classic rock on the radio. I think that is why I stopped listening to the radio, except for the few seconds it is on when the alarm goes off. I could never understand why these stations can't mix up the old with new. No, it has to be the same old tired songs over and over.

    Eh, to each his own. I personally can't stand it. It makes me feel like I want to pull out the shotgun and fire directly at the source.

    My issue with the classic rock stations is they play the same rotation of songs ad nauseum, neglecting or very rarely playing thousands of album cuts that are worthy.

    Chumlie, how about you replace Stairway to Heaven w/Child in Time-Deep Purple, Radar Love w/Twilight Zone (also GE) & Freebird w/Sympathy For The Devil-'Stones or Guns N Roses versions. Good chance you already have..

    times 5million! There are much better songs on most of those albums so WHY do the play the same one to infinity and beyond?
