NFT: Songs you despised when you were young

Tom from LI : 11/29/2022 3:29 pm
What are some songs you despised when your were young but actually like now?

I would have to say mine is True by Spandau Ballet (1983).

Back in the day of Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Judas Priest I used hate when this song came on MTV.

Fast forward to today, I kind of like it. I have even gone as far as singing along with it in my car and having it on one of my playlists...

If young Tom only knew what old Tom was up to in his 50's.. he would be so disappointed.

We didn't start the fire was a good call.

Age didn't mellow the hate.

I gotta say. I was "younger" in my early 20s, but all those songs I despised on the radio back in 2007-2011 or so sound like musical gold to me when I hear them being played.

Music on the radio (for the last 10 or plus years) irritates me so damn much I cannot listen to a second of it.

Meh. It's only music. Not that important to me like others.

Most Billy Joel songs sound like a advertisement jingle

Probably one of, if not, my LEAST favorite song of all time. I absolutely cannot stand Geddy Lee's voice.
Must be something wrong with me.

Love Billy Joel and enjoy Seger. But there were a few mentioned above that were nails on a chalkboard...

Made worse by the sappy use of it in Top Gun. Two notes and I’m changing the station.

To me Geddy Lee sounds like that 80-year old lady that lives next door and will confiscate your wiffle ball if it lands in her yard.

I hated them now I kinda like them. They have a sophisticated sound and the younger man with too much testosterone has a hard time wrapping your mind around that LOL>..
The Beatles

I thought they were for old fogies. Now I very much appreciate particularly their good later albums and solo work. The early stuff I still don't like as much.

When I was a kid I HATED his singing voice; thought he sounded like a dying calf.

I now have about 9 Neil Young albums/cd's in my collection.

I cannot stand music anymore. I just don't understand how that's someone's main ... thing.

Those people mainly who sit around in 2022 and blast the radio in the summertime and wait for someone else to play their favorite songs .... that they've heard thousands of times, from 40 years ago.
