Five Songs that Irritate My Ears
The Five Songs That Really Irritate My Ears Some of my essay here is going to focus on the technical parts of singing and recording a song. I’ll also take a look at how these songs were received by the public and how they performed on the charts. I’m not necessarily going to say I hate or dislike any of them, but I’ll explain why they made my list of five songs that irritate my ears. For context, I was a teenager in the 1970s, I was 15 for the entire year of 1975, so most of my picks come from the late 1960s through the early 1980s.

When Talent is Non-Existent
When I saw Sam Spinelli's challenge, asking us to name and shame our five least favourite songs, I got very excited. I can be a grumpy, judgemental, opinionated ass at the best of times (ask Ruth, the good lady wife!), but when it comes to music, I've learned to try and keep schtum when I think something is terrible. All because I'm just trying to be a better person (My Name is Earl opening ref, anyone?).

10 Nostalgic Rock Radio Hits From the 2000s
When I was growing up, my area had an alternative rock station that played a variety of rock hits, indie-ish tracks and songs from local bands. I loved listening to this station and looked forward to it every time I went on a long car ride.
