Don't you hate it when...?

When things like music are played so much that they just lose their awesomeness(Say Stadium Arcadium, Dani California, gosh, I hear it everywhere)?

And movies that are quoted so much it isn't it, say Napoleon Dynamite ("GOSH!")

I suppose this falls under cliché, ha?

That's one thing I hate about most radio stations, they play the same things over and over and over again all day.

I dislike it when things are played on the radio to death

Thats why I listen to NZs self-proclaimed, only Classic Rock station. But really its 90% Classic Rock and 10% Modern (like '00s) I caught them playing Dani California, but thats only once since I've been listening to it.

Yes, I hate that, but I've also done it to myself by playing some new awesome song over and over and over until the magic was gone. :(

That's why I only listen to CBC Radio 1 - that way, I know they're only replaying Classical over and over...

And that's why I don't listen to radio!

...

Or at least it would be if any radio stations around here played stuff I like anyway.

Hmm.

Yep, pretty much. Rather like Clocks by Coldplay (not that it was any good anyway) or Everybody's Changing by Keane, and that was good.

And oh man don't you just hate it when someone asks a question and you don't know whether or not it's rhetorical?! :D

*coughs* Hey Ya by Outkast *ends cough*

*coughs* Most of Little Britain, although it was actually pretty shitty to begin with *ends cough*

At work we listen to a Classic Rock station, and I counted 5 instances of "Holy Diver" and 4 of "Taking Care of Business" in the 8 hours I was there yesterday.

That's why I listen to RRR (http://www.rrr.org.au/), there is no playlist.

There are long driving jags where I can't or don't get around to changing the cd and end up overlistening to albums. Then I don't listen to them for a really long time and can't find them when I want to listen to them again...that gets extra frustrating....

I hate my Winamp. I have over 600 songs, and shuffle is on, yet the same songs come up all the time. And I've checked the other ones, they're fine...

I dislike how AmaroK, will play a song with a score of 35 nearly as much as a song with a score of 95 (AmaroK gives songs a score out of 100 based on you apparant preference for the song. Choosing a song will boost its score, stopping/skipping a song will lower it, etc).

That's for Linux, right?
