Songs that trigger you to switch the station or...

Some funny responses here.

I have many choices, but a bad college memory leads the way. In my freshman year, one guy on my floor blasted the Styx (IIRC) song "Lady" every time he managed to coax a girl back to his room. Unfortunately, the guy evidently had some game, so the song was playing WAY too frequently for my taste. By the end of the year, I'd rather have listened to the sound of the two of them going at it.

I haven't been able to abide the song ever since.

BTW, I kinda like "Horse With No Name. IIRC, it's loaded with major ninth chords and I'm a sucker for that sound.

Martykl- And we wonder why we can't solve the tubes vs. solid state debate!

Have to agree, Steve Perry makes me want to vomit! Hated REO Speedwagon and Foreigner as well, as I think back, the late 70's and 80's were not a great time for music. The AOR format was dying and it felt like music didn't really know where to go. I also agree that current radio really sucks so it's NPR for me as well. Have you donated to your local station?

As music lover I strongly believe that song "My Sherona" by Knack have nothing to do with music so eeeeeee!

Actually, Steve Perry pronounced it "cit-tay". Crunch---right in the mouth. Another nomination, though perhaps one with which many will disagree---Robert Plant. Oh, and Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction). Guess I don't care for anyone named Perry, first OR last.
