Not Again

I'm pretty tired of listening to the radio. The music on the radio, that is. I know that the stations are prone to playing the "popular" music of the day, but it seems excessive and ridiculous how they circulate with a very limited number of songs. For example, in the summer I was in the car and Buttons by the Pussycat Dolls came on, and by then I was fed up with listening to the song over and over so I asked my sister to change the station, and the next station was also playing Buttons! Ugh. A little variety please!

Instead of making me realize, "Hey that's a good song," radio stations have instead made me realize, that some songs and bands really aren't pleasing to the ear. Or not good enough that they can be listened to over and over. For example, How to Save a Life by The Fray. I don't care that it's high in the Billboard charts and people like it for...well they like it for something. It's terrible. Mainly because the lead singer has an awful voice which pretty much makes The Fray disgusting to listen to. Nickelback, too. I used to like Nickelback, but after hearing Photograph and whatever other songs that keep getting air time, I can't listen to them anymore. It's too much growly scratchy singing that doesn't change. So, in the past month I've been listening to my own music during the drive to school and it's made the 30 to 40 minutes so much more enjoyable.

I know exactly how you feel. I am really irritated by the radio as well and hate how they play songs over and over. The one commercial I can't stand is the guy from 104.3 saying how many commercials other stations play. It's really irritating. But yes, I do prefer listening to my iPod.
