The past couple years I've been kind of digging some bands that I absolutely hated when I was a teenager. Bands like Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers. Mind you, I haven't actually purchased any of their music but I have considered it (and I do need to get that BMG monkey off my back thanks to the TC I-pod pyramid scheme). They both have that ultra-saccharine AOR smoothness that sounds so exotic (yes, exotic) to me now. When I hear "Hey 19" I picture some dude in a denim leisure suit snorting coke and lounging in a beanbag chair. A life that I did not even remotely experience myself.

Not too fond of The Beatles or Rush. The only one I can think of, off the top of my head, that really sets my teeth grinding is Alanis Morrisette. I know there are others but I can't think of them right now.
