Guilty Pleasure (and Much Hated) Songs of 2005
So what caught your attention on the radio this year? What was your guilty pleasure song(s)? What about the ones you couldn't or can't take anymore?

I will admit it. She's not my type, I don't find her attractive, her pipes aren't as strong as some others, but Kelly Clarkson's Because of You gets me every time. The thing sounds like Jim Steinman wrote (she co-wrote it, he's not on the credits).

I also really liked just about everything Eminem did this year, especially Mockingbird. I adored everything Green Day put out from American Idiot. I was calling Wake Me When September Ends a hit last year. Jesus of Suburbia is the fifth or sixth single off the album. Won't chart as high, but is an awesome piece of music. I also hummed Carrie Underwood's Inside Your Heaven until the damn American Idol stuff went away. Big Grin

Songs That Really Ticked Me Off:

I liked Nickelback's Photograph the first 200 times I heard it. It can go bye-bye for another decade or so. Absolutely hate the Black Eyed Peas' My Humps. At least when 50 Cent did the same type of song, he said, "Look, y'all, we're gonna get nasty, but we're gonna have fun." What's-er-name just screeches and struts her way through the song. Can't take it, and it's played every hour. I didn't mind Destiny's Child's stuff this year, but I think they sold out in the hopes of one last big payday, which sort of ticked me off a bit and made it hard to listen to.

What about you guys? I'm sure I missed tons of good and bad music.l

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Strong negative feelings toward "My Humps". Musical Vomit. And it is sad, because the Peas can be oh so good when they have their sh*t together.

Guilty pleasure? Probably "Gold Digger" by Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx.

Biggest disappointment in an album goes to Marc Broussard. His song "Home" reached up out of the radio and grabbed me. I went to iTunes to support the artist and get the whole CD - and ended up just downloading "Home". Nothing pisses me off more than artist who does one truly outstanding song in one genre, then the rest of the album is not only sub-par all around but an entirely different sound (how do you go from the heart pumping roots rock of "Home" to the R&B slow as heck "I wish I was in the 70s but I'm not good enough to pull it off" whine of the rest of the album?? blech). Too bad, "Home" showed promise.

I'm on the opposite side of the fence from George this time. Wink

The Kelly Clarkson song grabbed me the first time I heard it. I remember driving home and hearing it, and saying "That's Kelly Clarkson. Put a bullet in my head for knowing that." Big Grin And sure enough, it was Clarkson. But the 2000th time I heard it, I wanted to rip my eardrums out.

The Nickleback song I love. I even like hearing it on the clips for whatever ad it's selling right now (can't remember the product, some phone maybe?).

ANYTHING from Rob Thomas's solo CD. I got it for Bree for Christmas, put it on my CD player and couldn't stop moving in my chair.

RENT soundtrack is my guilty pleasure. Wink

I forgot about Rob Thomas. He's my favorite contemporary artist now so I just sort of spaced on him. Yes, awesome album.

Lynn, if you have iTunes, go to Kelly Clarkson's page and listen to the 30 second clips of Because of You and its *9* remixes. There is a pretty acoustic version and one with all the strings pulled out. Then there is a dance club mix that will anger you.

I sort of like that Kelly Clarkson song, too, but they're playing it too much and I'm embarrased to like her because I hate many of her other songs.
Radio down here is SOOOO bad that I don't even know what is new this year.
I like Rob Thomas.
Which Nickelback are you talking about? I love one of their songs, but I don't know the group that well. And there is a Three Doors Down song that I like, but I don't know if thats from this year.
And I hate a bunch of Gwen Stephani's stuff. Ick.

George, I don't think that Kelly Clarkson song can be redeemed in any form for me. I swear, I have heard it three times in one two hour period of time.

I listen to a lot of radio when I'm on road trips or on my commute (30 minutes one way)...I was just listening to Classic Rock and talk radio, but decided after being chided by George that I needed to open my options a little. Big Grin

I don't ever want to hear a Rob Thomas song again. When I'm in the car with my fiancee, we listen to XM Channel 22, the inoffensive adult contemporary "Mix" station, and they play the living hell out of Rob Thomas, and that stupid Green Day "I walk alone" song, and the whole Sensitive Guys Soundtrack, featuring Maroon Five for Foo Fighting Ben Matthews Band.

Plan for 2006: listen to a whole lot more bluegrass.

Best albums of 2005: James McMurtry's "Childish Things" and Robert Earl Keen's "What I Really Mean".

Bluegrass is cool too. In really small doses. But living in Virginia, it's a law tha you have to listen every so often.

And, Curtis, I had you pegged as a battle rapper wanna-be. I'm very disappointed. Smile

My favorites this year are surrounded by Wiggles this Wiggles that.

Hot Potato and Fruit Salad & Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car. Smile

I don't get an opportunity to really listed to radio and rarely if ever do I get the treat of "real" music, whether it's some of my old stuff or new music on the radio.

Hubby bought me a 8 MG Creative Zen MP3/Photo player thing though. Hopefully, he can teach me to rip stuff off & then I can listen to real music again. Smile

It's also able to record off of FM and that will be neat (if I ever figure it out).

What Kim said. Big Grin

Although I'm really liking what's his name... Mike Doughty? 27 Jennifers. Love that song. That was this year, right? I think?

Now ask me what's on Radio Disney. I know all the words to most Hilary Duff songs, most Aly & AJ songs, and that blonde kid with the streaks.

Someone please shoot me now.

BANG. I watched portions of Dick Clark's NYE and remembered why I don't listen to Radio Disney. Barf

And I finally heard that Black Eyed Peas song (MY HUMP) yesterday. OMG. It's horrible! How in the dickens could they have even contemplated releasing that POC??????

Guilty Pleasure (and Much Hated) Songs of 2005
I don't listen to pop as much as country. I do, however, like the Kelly Clarkson song that Avril Lavigne wrote ("Breakaway") but I have no idea if that was released in 2005 or 2005.

Cannot stand Trace Adkins' "Honky-Tonk Badonkadonk" or Toby Keith's "Honkytonk University" (I'm guess I'm having issues with anything that has "honky tonk" in the title. Anything by Montgomery Gentry grates on my nerves particularly "Speed" and "'Cause She Don't Tell Me To."

I also had issues with Tim McGraw's "Do You Want Fries with That?" because, while a funny song, it's a false portrayal of where the money goes after a divorce--it's usually the woman who not only has the kids but also isn't getting her child support (alimony is rarely awarded these days).

Melissa Etheridge's "I Run for Life" (and her new CD) is a guilty pleasure for me.

I got goosebumps when I saw her perform it on Oprah, bought her CD right away, and learned she'd had a whole good body of work I'd never known very much about....

When a thought takes one's breath away, a grammar lesson seems an impertinence.

Ok, all this thread has proven to me is that perhaps its not such a bad thing that S. Florida radio sucks so much. I never even heard of most of those songs. Apparently, I'm still listening to radio with really bad songs from 1999.

We have a new radio station here which I LOVE. Mike FM. They have no DJs (althought they do have commercials Sad ) and a completely random format. One minute you get "Gold Digger", the next you get The Kinks, then 80s pop, then current alternative, etc. It's awesome. The only genre they don't play is country, which is too bad - that would be a wierd addition to the mix and make it even more interesting. They cover the 60s - today. I love it because of the randomness, but I'm sure they'll get gimmicky soon and bring in DJs or stupid skits like everyone else.

We have a radio station like that, Leslie, and it's also called Mike. (According to the boyfriend, all of these stations of monosyllabic guy names.) Sadly, ours only has 80s, 90s and "today", and it's mostly classic rock sort of stuff. It would be really cool to have a station like that with multiple genres and an extended "time period," but then I got spoiled with the funky station back home.

The format those stations are following is called "Jack" - one of those big multi-headed hydra media companies started it last year. Last I read, Jack formats often get a lot of listeners at first, but often the listeners slide away back to stations with live DJ's. Seems the DJ's personalities help people deveop relationships/loyalty to a station that trumps the random format and generic, national DJ.

This paragraph from MJ's source is the problem I have with Jack:

Quote:[FONT=arial,helvetica,univers] But if the Jack format is an iPod, it's everyman's iPod. The playlist at a Jack station is generated by computer, but sometimes tweaked by human hands for maximum effect. The one rule of Jack is that while songs can be from any genre and line up in any order, all must have been Top 40 hits at some point in the last 30 years. So, paradoxically, while the mix is eclectic, the songs themselves are pretty predictable.[/FONT]


The stuff may be random crap, but it's still largely crap.

We have Bob FM, and it's actually on my radio button list, and one of my favorites. Live local DJs, so got that connection (one of my favorite local DJs happens to be a very cool woman named MJ...guess who she reminds me of? Big Grin)

Not sure where they sit in the ratings, but the station started out life about 6 years ago as "The City" and their tagline was "we don't need no steenking format" - very simliar type playlist, except you'd hear everything from Sinatra to Prince to RHCP. I loved that format and was disappointed when it went belly up and changed to all 80's or something.

The Official Jack Website

Includes "listen live" streaming audio and "local stations" list.

FWIW, they just played something that sounded like the Bee Gees, which I didn't recognize, and now it's some girl group from the 50's/60's singing "it can happen to you." (it's not showing 'what's playing' in my MusicMatch window.)

That's (IMHO) the only decent station remaining in NYC. Sad, when you consider how many millions of people live in this market.

Way to make a stand. Smile

Suport Senator Clinton's candidacy by contributing here. Every little bit helps. If you don't want to give, at least sign up to learn more via email. Lots of grass-roots stuff already going on.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

I got spoiled doing album oriented radio in 45 minute sets of whatever I felt like playing that morning back in the 80's.

Man I miss that ..um.. format.

I just want to ask him why she's got it goin' on like Donkey Kong. The song is fairly catchy, good to dance around to and gets the crowd movin', though it is insipid. But, Donkey Kong?

And thanks for the earworm, guys....
