Thread Name: Songs that everyone likes but you
Subject: RE: BS: Songs that everyone likes but you
well, LOTS of those noted above..Kilkelly and "Puff" and others...but so far not mentioned:

"A Place in the Choir" (All God's Critters)
"Will My Soul Pass Thru the Southland" (The Rebel Soldier)
"Lovely Agnes"..my wearyness with this was so well known, that at a sing one time, a woman said she was going to sing the song, but first she had to 'protect' someone....and she got up, walked over, and handed me a pair of ear plugs...*grin*

(a lot of songs are 'ok' if not overdone to death...but some are unbearable about ½ way thru the 2nd hearing. This applies to a maddening little thing by Sally Rogers..."Circle of the Sun", which starts out with a bouncy little tune and and interesting metaphor, and quickly nosedives into a vapid, sing-songy, repetitive, poorly constructed, badly timed mish-mash of wannabe clichés.)....(oh, I don't like it, either)
