I can't remember the last time I listened to an "over the air" music radio station.
If I'm not playing something from my own library, I have on either Pandora or Spotify. Both let me pick the artists I like and they make suggestions based on that.
If a song or artist comes up, I don't make a mad scramble for the remote. I just hit thumbs up or down to let them know if I like it or not. If I hit thumbs down, the song stops and goes on to the next.

 

Even being a musician, and lover of all music...isn't immune to some songs/artists being absolutely abhorrent to hear! It's rare, but not including genre criticism from a professional standpoint, and any children's music (my kids are grown, I've done my time),

It would be death metal (The heaviest kind that is impossible to understand the lyrics)
and any music with auto tune throughout the song (instead of occasional enhancements)

 

Everything by Aerosmith except 'Big 10 Inch' and every once in a while 'Train Kept A-Rollin'.

 

Country music fans will hate me now. But anything by Reba or Hank.

 

Nothing I absolutely can't listen to if others are doing so, but I could do without some things. A lot of the popular mainstream rap and "mumble rap" sounds like they're half retarded, but to be fair, I should give FULL credit where it's due. lol.

For a while, every other new band that came out sounded like Nickelback to me, and to me, that is just a very boring generic sound for rock music. Boring is the ultimate "sin" in rock music. But this is just my opinion. Each their own.

I don't dislike all country, but growing up as a rock/metal fan who hated ALL rap and country initially, a lot of the mainstream new stuff still does jack for me. I heard some call it "pretty boy pop for Southern housewives". Sounds kinda accurate.

 

My friend would say Love Shack, but I would crank up the volume when that comes on.

 

Rap music.... I envy the deaf when I hear it....

 

Anything by ABBA

 

Our house, in the middle of our street. Came on this morning and I found a different station

 

UB40 - Red Red Wine
I swear it was like played every 3rd 4th song on the radio at the time and I was stuck listening to it at work without being able to change the station....
Anything else I can tune out, but that one just eats into whats left of my brain cells.

 

Maneskin or whatever their name is. Awful song.

 

Anything by The Commodores or Lionel Richie.
Also Magic Man by Heart

 

In the car, I love Radio Roulette! I only listen to classic rock, jazz/blues and occasionally classical, so I never have to turn off rap or hip-hop, but there are bands I love with songs I hate.

Like The Rolling Stones 'Emotional Rescue'. Fortunately, it doesn't get much airplay, but when it does...

 

Not so much bands but certain songs make me bolt for the radio dial. As time goes on, I get used to some of them but one song makes me cringe so bad, I want to shoot my radio, Siri, Sirius, Alexa, Tidal whatever. That song is B-52s' "Love Shack". Ugh. Hate that song with a passion. There is a little bias there. I used to be a major fan of The B-52s in their early years. Saw them on tour twice in the early 80s. The quirky band that jammed. But they went pop with Love Shack and became unbearable. I was at a wedding and paid the dj $10 not to play that song unless someone requested it.

 

If I hear the beginning - or a verse or chorus - of Hotel California, I switch it immediately. Just way too overplayed, really since it came out - like Stairway to Heaven and Another One Bites the Dust.

But if I come in at the guitar trade-offs at the end, I'll listen - that's some tasty playing

 

Commercials, I go between four stations when a commercial break starts.

You really need an eight minute break?

It's so bad I turn the radio off while driving home and guess what?

Eight minutes later I have music.
