Songs you loved when they first came out--but years later they blow.

[Louisiana1976]

I feel that way about Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean."

1. I liked In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida when I first heard it many decades ago. My friends and I

all got over it after religiously listening to the song every day for several months

4. "In The Garden of Eden" by I. Ron Butterfly is much better.

2. It usually depends on how long ago I heard it.

I stopped listening to commercial radio years ago, so if I hear a song that I haven't heard in decades, especially without a loud DJ bloviating all over the air unnecessarily with the same songs in an unending loop, I can usually enjoy it both musically and for the memories interwoven into it.

3. Gary Wright: "Dream Weaver"

I can't believe that as a teenager I didn't realize what a terrible singer he was.

5. Deleted

6. There was one song I really liked

It was the Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up", but now it just makes me feel bad everytime I hear it.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

7. Pretty much anytthing by the Eagles or the Busckingham-Nicks edition of Fleetwood Mac

No matter HOW "good" that stuff might have been coming out of the chute, it's among the most overplayed music in the history of rock and roll.

[Mopar151]

12. What he said!

"She f'n hates me" by Puddle of Mudd

[Arugula Latte]

8. For some reason I liked the Kinks song "Destroyer"

I recently heard it after years and years and scratched my head.

However, in my defense, I was a teenager at the time it came out.

9. Anything by Sammy Hagar or the Eagles

They both make me cringe today.

[InvisibleTouch]

10. I don't think I've ever un-loved a song that I originally loved.

I've come to like some songs that originally did nothing for me, but never the other way around.

[AwakeAtLast]

11. "Total Eclipse of the Heart"

Hey! I was 11 and I only had two radio stations from which to choose!
