come on, just ONCE.... I've lost my keys many times, and don't even ask how many times I've lost the remote control for the TV. My religion...I'm not sure about that; I think it's in a box in the attic...maybe not. |

the doctor, nurses, and mid-wife in the delivery room were playing music as my 2nd little wrangler was preparing for birth. low and behold, losing my religion comes on, and sweet little abigail cheyenne came into this beautiful world. i've always loved this song, but that brought it into a whole new realm. definitely not just a dream. unforgettable.  |

Must have been some other mundane, hum drum, monotone R.E.M song. Sorry for the mistake but it was 20 some years ago. Go Buckeyes! |

Probably because for me a truly great song like this doesn't diminish after loads of plays and a song that does in my view wasn't truly great - a similarly simple point of view. If I have voted 10 (and I have very often) it is not for how I used to feel about a song but how I feel about it now. To get to a point where I didn't want to hear this I would have to be locked in a room with the sort of knob that puts a cd single on repeat and leaves it playing for a long, long, time. |

Ummm... I think you might be missing the point. Even the best song on the planet gets old when played too much. While it doesn't get any less good in a technical sense, the joy of listening to it is sucked out of it. While the pleasure the song brings to hear and how good it is really are different things, I think it's fair to assume that the poster doesn't mean to say that the song is bad because they hear it all the time, but instead they don't want to hear it anymore because they no longer enjoy it.

A song is not any less good just because you've heard it alot. it just can't be.

This sentiment - frequently posted here on the RP boards - is complete and utter nonsense. The quality of a song should have absolutely no relation to how much or how little it has been played on terrestial or internet radio, MTV or VHI, or used in commercials or movies - even for the individual personal perspective - which is of course subjective. Lets distinguish the more passive activity of radio listening - whether terrestial or internet - with the more active effort of programming your Ipod or whatever musical delivery device you may be using. I can see how in a more active mode, one of the reasons for not choosing to listen to a song you feel is "good" at a given moment may be that you may prefer to listen to another "good" song that they haven't heard as often. Whereas the passive radio experience-is one where you will listen to the full range of choices provided by the DJ - and when a "good" song comes on you should just enjoy it. If you truly believe a song is "not good" then i can understand turning the radio off. A song is not any less good just because you've heard it alot. it just can't be. |
