re: Button Pushers- 60’s and ‘70’s songs you could not stand

Cat's in the Cradle
Fool to Cry
Rikki, Don't Lose That Number (one of the few Steely Dan songs, along with Hey Nineteen and a bunch of other stuff from Gaucho, that I can't stand)
Young Americans
Baby I Love Your Way (to make the list shorter let's just say any Peter Frampton song other than Do You Feel Like I Do)
That stupid Pina Colada song (no, not the Garth Brooks one, the other stupid Pina Colada song)
The Joker
What a Fool Believes (again let's make this list shorter, any Doobie Brothers song sung by Michael McDonald)
Lola (The song itself actually isn't bad. It's just that some song subjects give you the shivering whim whams.)
You Light Up My Life
Time in a Bottle (I like Jim Croce but I don't like depressing songs, unless Gordon Lightfoot is singing them.)
Anything by Barry Manilow
December 1963 (Oh What a Night)
Torn Between Two Lovers
You Don't Bring Me Flowers

Sugar, Sugar - The Archies

It's more than the fact that I would rather listen to this than the combined oeuvres of Led Zeppelin, The Grateful Dead, and Rush.

It's a great R&R record.

Man, I like so many of these.

Gordon Lightfoot - Lake Gitchagummi abortion of a song
Any song by Asia - prog pop sucks
Aerosmith - anything after done with mirrors
Hollies - long cool woman in a black dress
Supertramp - sing like a chick band
Red Ryder - loonatic fringe
Iron Butterfly -indagoddadaeda, life is too short to listen to shitty jams
Sha Na Na anything they have ever recorded
Van Hagar - right now!!!

That I prefer Rock and Roll?

ou don't even need three chords for the song - two will do. But, he plays them a little differently every time, so it works. It's a subversively great song, though.

great lyrics, including: cause there ain't no one there to give you no pain

"I Can Help" - Billy Swan
"Old Time Rock & Roll" - Bob Seger
"Last Farewell" - Roger Whitaker
"Convoy" - CW McCall

"Mississippi Queen" - Mountain

That you ignore great music because of ignorance. Hell, Limelight is probably THE perfect Rock and Roll song.

People who think Rush is rock and roll

Probably think Molson is beer.
