Songs That Are Too Good For Radio

Since I talked about songs that I would pay money to never hear on the radio again last time. I figure it's time for some songs that are too good for radio. (I don't know why I feel the need to make this disclaimer as we are all adults who live in the real world. But there is a very small amount of cursing in the Man Man video and if you are offended by such things then don't watch it. )


1. Bonnie Prince Billy- Gulf Shores
Sorry for lack of video. This is the better of the 2 on youtube.

2. Calexico- Two Silver Trees


3. Man Man- Engwish Bwudd


4. ...and You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead- Another Morning Stoner


5. Slint- Nosferatu Man



Well...what did you think?

Stop The Madness!!!

The person who sits next to me at work listens to a certain radio station all day long. I don't know which one it is, but if you email Satan tomorrow and and ask which local station he owns, it's probably that one. The problem with this radio station is that there are a few songs that get played over and over and over and over and over...etc...etc...etc. I am at the point where I would pay money to never hear the following songs again. Here are the songs...

1. The Fray- You Found Me
When I first heard the song at WEC, I thought this isn't so bad. But 1159 listenings later my opinion has changed.
2. Lady Gaga- Just Dance
I like the Lady of Ga. But this song now makes me want to run.
3. All American Reject- Gives You Hell
See Below.
4. Kelly Clarkson- My Life Would Suck Without You
Kelly...you were so cool before. Now...song titles like this...make me not like you.
5. Pink- Sober
Nothing funny to say...just don't play it again.

I would like to bring your attention to the All American Rejects song "Gives You Hell". This song is terrible. The singer somehow managed to find a vocal frequency that cuts right through the wall of my cubicle and then through my own enjoyable radio programing, forcing my attention onto this obnoxious anthem. This the worst song of 2009. It's so bad that I've tried to not write about it so as to not bring the song anymore attention in hopes that it will go away sooner. But alas, my last nerve has been plucked.

Honorable mention- While this song is not played on the aforementioned radio station it is bad. And it makes me cringe whenever I hear it. Eminem's "We Made You" is a song about relationships that he wants to end/slash picking on famous people. Either way the most of the relationships are over or the famous people are no long in the public spot light. This is probably the second worse song of 2009.

What songs do you wish would go away?
