I usually try to ensure that my posts here have at least some value, but here goes…

I’m pretty easy-going when it comes to music. I’ll be listening to NPR and switch stations when they go to a commercial, and find myself listening to gangster rap. Then they go to a commercial, and I change stations back to NPR and it’s some jazz. Then they do a fundraiser and I’m listening to classic rock.

I can think of only three songs that I absolutely refuse to listen to. I’ll turn the radio off or listen to a commercial before I listen to the song:

• Redneck Woman. I hate country music, but that’s not why. It’s that her voice is worse than nails on a chalkboard.
• That “Don’t Stress” McCartney song. I have absolutely no idea why. It is ironic that a song called “Don’t Stress” raises my blood pressure, though.
• That horrible, horrible song that has the line, “If you like it, then you should have put a ring on it.” I never got much further, despite the ~50 times I’ve bumped heads with it. I have no idea why, but this song makes me downright angry every time I hear it. (I’m well-adjusted and mentally stable. Really!) The music would be appropriate if you had snorted crack and were literally bouncing off the walls.
