Musical Icky Feelings

Pandora is playing me a live version of Van Halen's Panama, fronted by Sammy Hagar.

Anytime Annie Lennox opens her mouth, I throw up in mine a little.

Her voice does to me almost what I imagine Mary Hart's voice did to that one dude.

It's like fingernails on a blackboard, wet yarn, holey ceilings, the smell of coconut...for pure unadulterated icky feelings

i don't put much credence in that. I have one station that seems determined for me to enjoy some bluegrass.

I intensely dislike Ms. Lennox' style of music, but, dayum, that woman has some pipes.

I am set on Pandora and will literally fistfight with you on this point.

No really you can have Pandora. I'll take last.fm all alone...That totally works for me. More space for me...except it is down right now.

You can get your music license rebuff all you want, I'll be at last.fm.

It's music that's "icky" to us. I never liked Lennox' (Lennoxes?) throaty voice. It's like she needs to clear her throat. Not saying the woman can't belt out a song...her voice just grates on me.

Also not a fan of Springsteen, though he had some great songs. Also not a fan of U2, though they've had some songs I liked.

*shrugs*

I can think they're icky if I want.
