Experience of music is so subjective. There are many great songs from 1979-80 that I find really hard to listen to. At the time I was dividing weeks between Bradford and Harrogate, in a student placement I hated, with the fear of the Yorkshire ripper almost palpable in the air. Beyond irony, the house I rushed home to for safety was shared with a guy who later turned out to be a serial rapist. I've managed to make peace with songs such as Too much too Young and Ashes to Ashes; others are taking longer. That hideous time has been (almost) eclipsed by glorious ones since, especially at Glastonbury, which has been the therapy I didn't realise I needed. Even crap songs have been enjoyable there! Wow! That's scary. Yes I definitely think sometimes some songs can remind you of moments and the songs themselves aren't bad but the bad memories they bring back can be too much. I have a good friend who can't bear to listen to Don't Give Up by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush because it was in the charts and playing everywhere around the time her Mum died of cancer and she just finds it too painful to be brought back to that time.

Euphoricape Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Oasis - Wonderwall Soon as I hear the opening chords I switch for the off button on the radio. Maybe because it's just always been so overplayed but I literally can't bear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news for you is it was during COVID so there was only about 5 people who got to hear it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hideous dirge, made worse by being so inexplicably popular. I also have a strong aversion to Dancing Queen despite otherwise liking Abba 🤷♀️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it my imagination or is Living on a Prayer making some sort of comeback with the kids? I thought we'd finally seen it off.

parsonjack Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Great cause obviously but I can't bear Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas'. Probably something to do with working in Our Price Christmas 1984 and hearing it on loop...all day...every day...for about 3 weeks 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
