We are soul brothers in rock song hate. Piano Man and The Day the Music Died are like one song sang in the same rancid breath, both definitely on my top ten. That retched blink 182 song that I can't be bothered to find out the name for that goes do do do do do do do, Semisoinic's (an apt name) Closing Time are also on my list. Thought of one other but it's not coming to me at the moment.

I like a number of Billy Joel songs but Piano Man should be left to gather dust. If I only had to hear The Day the Music Died once every five years or so I'd probably wouldn't mind it anymore, at least it reminds me to put on a Buddy Holly album a few times every decade.

I used to hate Blues Traveler and I'm sure that if I had to hear them often I would still but after Popper got popped by the cops with an SUV filled with guns in concealed compartments, hearing them just makes me and chuckle and wonder what going on in that freaky harpist head.

Nothing wrong with liking BR, it's just not for me. I listen to lots of stuff that no one else can stand, just a matter of taste.
