"Blog Harbor from The Talent Pond"  PROMPT (DAY 15): Songs you hate. Tell us about one or more songs that you would be perfectly content to never hear again in your life, ever.The irony of having to find (and therefore) listen to a song in order to link a video to it in a blog post about songs I hate and would be happy to never hear again is not lost on me.  And all that said, while I ultimately picked "Dreams" the song to feature, I would be perfectly content to never listen to another track from The Cranberries ever again. "Dreams," "Zombie," "Linger" ... you can keep them all. My wife loves them but I just find their music so... whiny.There's no doubt their music has made an impact on people. 40 million records sold and eight Top 20 singles is no fluke. In fact, there's probably a lot of people in my generation who would list them as one of the most important bands of their formative years. And, sure, I can appreciate the complex emotions in their songs and the whole tortured artist thing. I really can. It''s just that their music is so... whiny. Despite my distaste for their music, I was sad to hear that lead singer Dolores O'Riordan died earlier this year. It's never easy when a music icon passes away, especially someone who passes at the relatively young age of 46. She and her band had an immense influence around the world and I really wish I liked The Cranberries more than I do. It's just that their music is so... whiny.  |
