Sucks or overplayed?

"Fiesta"?

 

I remember getting sick of hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit and Enter Sandman when they came out. Both tremendous songs, but when they're being overplayed just about everyone is going to get sick of them. Then some time passes and the next time you hear it, you're thrilled.

 

I've given up on local stations. My morning background is KONI from Maui on Tune-In Radio. Good 70s-80s pop, and you feel Mauish.

I have loved the Eagles, but all their big hits are overplayed. Everywhere.

 

Your honor, as exhibit A for overplayed, I submit into evidence, "Carry On Wayward Son".

 

Up until a few years ago I would have said Dust in the Wind was the one that was way overplayed, but it's flipped.

 

"The Body of an American" It's the type of job that leaves you fried at the end of the shift.

 

Exhibit B: "Harden My Heart"

Exhibit C: "Father Figure"

 

Quarterflash had three damn good songs.

 

We have Sirius/XM in our main car, and the Lithium station plays the same six or seven Pearl Jam songs nearly nonstop. If I never hear Jeremy, Black, Even Flow and Once again, that would be just fine by me. Christ, there are other songs on Ten; play a few.

 

Exhibit D: Kissed by a Rose

Exhibit E: If I Lay Here

Exhibit F: Boys are Back in Town

 

I think that is because Sirius has to pay for each song it plays so it buys a limited number of licenses each month. Some months you hear the same song over and over again, the next month you don't hear it at all because they didn't license it.

 

Can people stop with this lazy and incorrect claim? All radio stations (and newpapers) are owned by a corporation or LLC or partnership, or whatever limited liability entity. The legal structure of the company you are referring to is irrelevant. What you mean is either some publicly trade company or a company that is not local. The fact it may be a corporation is meaningless to your criticism.
