Music in my iTunes/iPod that I can't listen to anymore

Alice In Chains
I only ever mildly liked them. They were one of the first bands who's album I bought with my own money at Musicland in Northtown. (The very first that I spent my money on was Warrant. You won't find them on this list as they are not in my iTunes).

Boston
Megan had the CD. It's been imported, but not for my listening pleasure.

Bush
I bought the CD before an Edgefest I went to where Gavin Rosdale was going to play. I suppose that I liked Bush at the time, but it really is cry-baby garbage.

CAKE
Everyone loved the song Going The Distance. My friend Aaron B showed me that the whole album is good, and it was. I loved CAKE, but now I am so sick of all of their music that I get nauseous when I hear it.

Dr. Dre
Didn't we all go through a faze listening to The Chronic? The album is iconic, and started Snoop Dogg's career, and I'm not ashamed that I own it, but I just can't listen to it anymore.

The Eagles
I've never liked the Eagles. I like Smokin' Joe Walsh, but can't listen to the Eagles. This is another of Megan's albums.

Foreigner
See Boston and The Eagles. People bring albums into a relationship, and these are a few of the ones that she brought to ours.

Korn
No interest. They played an Edgefest I went to. In fact I think I remember buying it used at Cheapo on Central. Not my kind of music, and don't care if I ever hear it.

Nine Inch Nails
I think everyone who went to high school in the 90's had/has The Downward Spiral. I got it for Closer, and was turned onto Pretty Hate Machine from there, but I'm just done with it. Over it.

Red Hot Chili Peppers
They have one song. One song that is slowed down a little, and sped up a little.

Snoop Dogg
See the Dr. Dre entry above. Snoop became wildly popular following The Chronic, and it would only follow suit to listen to Snoop from there. I can't point to any Snoop song that I've ever liked though. To this day people sing along to Snoop if he comes on, that is everyone but me.

Sublime
I liked a couple of their tunes I'd hear at a party, or what-have-you. I picked up an album of thiers used at Cheapo, and liked it. Now I've heard it so much that, like CAKE, hearing it makes me a little ill.



On The Bubble:
Beck
Saw him in concert at an Edgefest, and it was a great show. He's a wild showman, and I'd see him live anytime. I'm just getting sick of his music. Can still listen, but wouldn't mind a break.

Ben Folds Five
The first 21+ show I saw at First Ave, and the second time I used a fake ID (the 1st being to see Tracy Bonham at the Fine Line. Remember her? I met her once). The show was awesome. High energy, and everyone knew all of the songs. I actually haven't listened to them in a long time, and they may actually be back in my good graces.

Dave Matthews Band
My brother and I used to listen to them a lot when we drank, then when I started dating Megan, we listened to them a lot too. It got to be overkill for me, but I think I've not put them on any playlists for long enough that I can listen to them again.

Eminem
Lose Yourself is an awesome, inspiring song. I really like his hits, but I have a few of his albums where the hate is so vicious toward his mom, step dad(s), and women that it's uncomfortable to listen to.


So with these artists always getting a skip from me when they come on, I love when I find considerable new (to me) music. The latest being OK Go and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Nerd Dad over and out.
