Songs

[ericcoleman]

There are some things that I can deal with never hearing ever again. Right now I have several Deep Purple albums on shuffle. I have removed Smoke On The Water from the list. I don't need to hear it ever again.

So, what are those songs for you? I have bunches, some more of which I may go into in comments.

"Never hearing ever again" is too long. I generally measure songs by how frequently I can stand hearing them. American Pie is a great song, but I only need to hear it about once a year. Similarly Stairway to Heaven or any of the overplayed hits. I listened to Steeleye Span a great deal in college, and there are cuts I listen to now and again but mostly I've internalized their first ten albums (with solo LPs as well).

The flip side are the songs I want to hear again immediately. I nearly made a mix tape of songs played twice in a row. The Lion Sleeps Tonight (either Tokens or Robert John) still tops the list. Little Willie was on there too, but I'm over that now.

I digress.

I love the Tokens version but HATEHATEHATE the Robert John version - the tuba kills it for me.
