When I'm driving, I refuse to listen to anything I don't like. One name comes to mind on this subject- Bruce Springsteen! I'm sure their are alot of fans but I can't listen to him. I can even see how some people like him but I just can't.
What gets that reaction from you?

Michael Jackson
Pat Boone
Led Zepplin
Pia Zadora

The list is endless...[|)]

Generally, I'm up for anything but what makes me change the station is when I hear the same song over and over again. If I swing over to the classic rock station I just know I'm going to hear Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb". On the pop stations, it's goin

The thing that makes me change a station these days is not a song, per se, but those damn Durex commercials during the Howard Stern show. They insult me to no end.

I don't personally understand the Led Zeppelin and Springsteen, personally I like both a great deal. Is it Springsteen in general, or just the same songs played over and over. I have always felt his best songs were some that never made it to the airwaves.

I flip the station whenever I hear one of those sappy, formulaic, "boo hoo hoo, I'll love you forever, even though you treat me like crap" ballads.

Generally songs on <a href="http://www.geocities.com/savethewave/worst.htm">my list</a> will have me rea

Skinnytie, are you a stern listener? I know we are going to start a war with this topic but I am! There I said it!

Oh Oh! Kimiii, I always respect your views as a friend and as a parent. With that said(gulp) I'll tell you. I do listen to him. I know there are times when everyone will be put off by him. I have always worked jobs where I can listen to the radio and talk

By the way Kimiii, I just read what you said about me on another thread and if you want, I will stop listening to Howard! Just kidding but tell me what you think of him. I have more to say but I type slow and I want to check the other thread now. You want

==( sorry Kimiii & Philly for interrupting---)

what makes me always change the station are COMMERCIALS.

after that, it's any of the crappy Slipknot-type anti-music out there, and definately today's trashy hip-hop.

== ( ok, go back to your convo

I think we are going to have to get the Kimiii and Philly show. Just us discussing everything. I have 2 girls. My oldest turns 6 tomorrow! The younger is 21/2. She is trouble! I'm going to try to e mail you to save these poor new wavers from our conversat

These things make me change the channel:
Commercials
Station I.D.s full of laser sound effects and happy multi-layered singers.
D.J.s

In other words, I don't listen to radio unless I'm stick in a rental car without a CD player.

Don't forget car commercials that smash a half hour of legal into 15 seconds at the end. Nobody even understands what they are saying.

I stopped listening to the radio (in general) around 95. Yeah ,I know I have missed out on a FEW good things , but I have also missed out on Britany , Pearl Jam, Snoop Dogg , Timberlake, etc, etc,etc.

...and I could not be happier.[:)]

I really do not listen to the radio at all anymore. My tuner on my stereo must be full of cobwebs by now. If I do listen to the radio while in a rental car, I fiddle until I find something I like, or I just switch to a jazz or classical station if nothi
