Songs You Can't Listen To

[LadyLazarus]

Anyone have a repetoire of 'off-limits' songs that remind them of their ex partners, bad times, etc?
Thankfully, most of my ex's music was crap [:p], but I'm probably permanently put off a few Beatles tunes by now. [xx(]

[dead_irony@yahoo.com]

Absolutely anything by the Doors. I F#*$ing hate the Doors. The only person who was a bigger poser putz than my ex-husband was Jim Morrison, which might explan why the ex loved him. I don't know if any of you have ever been exposed to Jim Morrison's "poet

[xx(]Bob Seger-Old Time Rock and Roll
[xx(]Loverboy-Turn me lose Really "Loverboy altogether"[xx(][xx(]
Pretty much any top 40 hit in the last 30 years. That pretty much covers it[:o)][:o)]

Nostalgia can ruin many good songs. [:(] If times were good, it could make you down about your present situation. If times were bad, you'd rather forget about it.

Any Beatles song does it for me, heard they too many times and had too many people tell m

Anything by Madonna. Girlfriend back in the 80s was way into it, ever since then I've just hated anything she spewed out.

Loverboy and their ilk were the bands I just despised the most in the 80s. It was just "idiot rock" for people who didn't care ab

Unless it is the Reggatta De Blance album,I have trouble listening to any of the other albums by the Police.Was never really a fan.Same can be said of Men At Work too.Other than Business As Usual,the rest of Men At Work's material just plain stunk.I guess

I have several that for nostalgia's sake I just can not tolerate at all. Right after college I briefly had a roommate from hell that had an affinity for (an obsession really) Pigface and Skinny Puppy. Now, I never really minded either band before this, bu

[unguarded moment]

Anything so-called "industrial" or its ilk. Hate that noise/crap. BTW, give me The Beatles ANY time! And yes, they were great.

...And if I ever have to endure that GODDAMNED Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" song again, I pierce my own eardums with a screwdriver.

[skinnytie]

It took me awhile (and I mean years) before I could listen to song "Deborah" by Dave Edmunds again (due to an unrequited love affair with a girl of the same name) and "I Love You" by Yello (I had my first and only major car accident to that song, made mor

[Blitz Boy]

I'm lucky. I can live perfectly without listening to mine any more during my lifetime.

The Irene Cara's song in "Flashdance" soundtrack
Rod Stewart's "Baby Jane"

Then, I matured[:D] and be able to separate music from circumstances...

Shame on me

[hexicon]

Er, hard to admit, but it's been just over twenty years, and sometimes I still tear up a bit when I hear certain new wave dance pop from February to March 1984--Thompson Twins' "Hold Me Now," the Cars' "You Might Think," the Cure's "Lovecats," Talk Talk's

[sins tailor]

if you just broke up with someone and are slightly suicidal....
pretty much any songs by the raspberries (especially their side 3 album) are the nail in the coffin.............

[Ollie Stench]

God, there's so much crappy music out there I couldn't even begin to fathom where to start.

Here's the flip, though:

I dated a girl in high school who was a huge Echo & the Bunnymen fan. I couldn't stand them. Within 2 months of us breaking up 2 1
