Reading some of the other posts, gave me the idea for this tread. "I Don't Care If I Ever Hear Again" doesn't mean that you don't like the song (necessarilly). It could be a song you love (or loved), but was either overplayed or some event happened in your life that made you so sick of the song that you added it to THE LIST. Here are some songs that are on my "I Don't Care If I Ever Hear Again" list.

1. Atomic Dog - George Clinton:
I used to LOVE this song, but over the past 20 years, oldies stations have killed my "love" for the song. Also, I worked in radio for a while and had to play this song for 8 hours straight (when the station was changing formats).

2. The Secret Garden - Quincy Jones
This is another song that has turned sour for me. I once LOVED this song. I even bought the remixes featuring Kirk Whalum, but it has been worn out by oldies stations and quiet storms for me.

3. Slow Jam - Midnight Star
See 1 and 2

4. THE PURPLE RAIN SOUNDTRACK!!!!
YES, I said it! I am SO TIRED OF THESE SONGS. I'm not saying it's a bad soundtrack or anything, but I am so over everything from "Let's Go Crazy to "PR". It was so nice to go to the ONA shows and not hear a PR concert! All other P shows were filled with damn near the whole album.

5. Shoop - Salt-N-Pepa
This song was so overplayed that I began to despise it. UGH!!!

What are some of yours?

When Doves Cry-Prince
The most overrated Prince song ever, when it comes on I STOP dancing!

Bad-Michael Jackson
Mike's worst song. The cheesy lyrics and wack-ass video don't help

Three Times A Lady-The Commodores
I never understood the appeal of this snoozer. Love the Commodres, hate this song

Nobody's Supposed to Be Here-Deborah Cox
Liked it the first 150 times I heard it on the radio. After the 300th time I was through

Don't Stop Til You Get Enough-Michael Jackson
A great song, but you can only hear it so many times

Survivor-Destiny's Child
I could a fuck about their dramas. They made more money than my entire family combined--get over it!!!

All About the Benjamins- Puff Daddy and Mase
This song singlehandedly killed Hip-hop for me

Anything from Harlem World-Mase
A rapper with a speech impediment. I'm surprised the world didn't come to a fucking end!

Jenny from the Block- Jennifer Lopez
How are you gonna talk about being from around the way and then have Ben Affleck in your video. Get outta my face!

Bump and Grind & Seems Like Your Ready-R.Kelly

you got me dying laughing at every word you typed!!!

Lovesexy82 said:

I feel you on the Deborah Cox. I should have added it to my list. It was so annoying.

daPrettyman said:

I was in high school when this came out and my mom even bought the CD. She played it over and over...and over. I thought I was going to die. I couldn't escape it.

Lovesexy82 said:

"Between The Sheets" by the Isleys Brothers
"Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye
"Always and Forever" by Heatwave
"Very Special" by Debra Laws
"For The Love Of You" by the Isley Bros.
"Here And Now" by Luther Vandross

Don't get me wrong,I love all of these songs,it's just that,in my area,these songs are OVERPLAYED.We have an Old School R&B station that has totally worn these songs out!

SoulAlive said:

You must live in an area that has a Radio One station. They play these songs over and over and over...

daPrettyman said:

it's so annoying! They pick two or three of the biggest hits by a certain artist,and play those songs until you absolutely can't stand to hear it anymore! Seriously,I never wanna hear "Always and Forever" again....and I used to LOVE that song! I wish they would play some of the lesser hits by those artists...


How about playing "You Sure Love To Ball" by Marvin Gaye?

How about playing "Look Around" by Freddie Jackson?

How about playing "Make Me A Believer" by Luther Vandross?

you know...the songs that everyone aren't tired of!

I'll Make Love To You - Boyz II Men
I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

I loved these songs when they came out, but they got so overplayed that I grew sick of them.

One Way or Another - Blondie
Just What I Needed - The Cars
And most Motown Music.

I know it sounds sacrilegious to diss the greatest soul music of the 1960's. but it's because, like the two other songs I listed, it was overplayed and rammed into commercials to the point where I got really sick of hearing it all. The last thing I need to hear is some song that people listed to at key happy moments of their lives (close high school and college freindships, first love, first sexual experience, wedding day) being used to push kitchen cleaning products, discount retailers and adult diapers.

Which of the following :

KJMZ 100.3, KBFB 97.9 ; KTXQ Magic 102, KSOL 94.9


.... "oops" I forgot about KRNB 105.7


"I remember one of these stations playing Newcleus - Jam On It for about 72 hours (more or Less) during a format change".

Like George says:

"Don't touch that radio, don't touch that radio, don't touch that radio, don't touch that knooooob! aw' like planet rock we just don't stop were gonna drive ya' nuts".

Anything shit hop and anything by Shitney Houston. In other words, anything shitty.

"Everybody Dance Now!" - C&C Music Factory
I think if I heard that damn song today still, I'd immediatley shut it off.

"Make Em Say UUH" - Master P
A neighbor played that song LOUD about 20 times one summer morning. NOt only is it one of the worst songs ever, the title alone was irritating.

Crank That - Soulja Boy
nuff said

In The Club - 50 Cent
nuff said

Just To Be Close To You - Commodores
My ex and that damn song


Superfreak - Rick James
I can't get happy about this song anymore

Bohemian Rapsody - Queen
When Waynes World came out in the 5th grade and seeing all the kids jammin to this song that is supposed to be more grown folks rock music. It seemed tame and lame now.

Sweet Thing - Chaka
uuugh, again? Who ELSE is gonna remake that song!?

StarMon said:

It was KRBV (100.3) (better known as V-100 at the time). I had to play a steady rotation of "Atomic Dog", "No Scrubs," and "We Like To Party" for hours on end. It killed my interest in any of these songs.

paisleypark4 said:

I feel you on this. It is not at the top of my list of annoying songs, but I know where u r coming from. Besides, even Chaka had the nerves to remake it for the New York Undercover soundtrack.

InsatiableCream said:

Everything?

Has your local station killed "Make Me A Believer" or "The Second Time Around" also?

daPrettyman said:

I do too. I feel his pain though, I love these songs but yeah they could be overplayed too damn much, like give it a break.

daPrettyman said:

when i say everything i mean EVERYTHING. you can hear atleast 15 of his songs a day on the radio

InsatiableCream said:

Luckily, one of my local stations has changed to a "new r&b" format. They play VERY LITTLE Luther. They tend to focus on new music and VERY LITTLE Luther.

Check them out www.krnb,com

InsatiableCream said:

I know! They really destroyed that song



Cna I add

"One Sweet Day" by Mariah to that list

Man, I could never get tired of California Love. Especially the remix. That's my jam for life.

However, I would like to add:


I'll Make to You & End of the Road- Boyz II Men
They were just beggin' on this one. No man should ever be so desperate. It didn;t help that they played these bitch songs non stop.

Every time I Close my Eyes- Babyface
If the original version with Mariah Carey wasn't bad enough, he went and made one with Kenny G! He almost lost me there. It's also one of his most popular songs, so you couldn't escape it.

No Scrubs-TLC
Did they really need to make a song about how they attract busted-ass dudes? Many women have this problem...and move on. I wasn't as big of a fan after this played-out pop mess.

Can You Stand the Rain & If it Isn't Love- New Edition
I did this to myself. In my zeal being a new fan I played this songs over and over. Now I can't listen to them anymore. I'll never forgive myself for this.

daPrettyman said:

Yeah, I forgot about KRBV V-100,..

paisleypark4 said:

I'll take that one also. I pulled out the Boyz II Men Legacy set the other day and couldn't take that song at all. My head immediately began to hurt when it came on.
