“Mind you I have a whole list of what many regard as classics that have me reaching for the ear-plugs”.
Having spent most of the mid 70s and 80s in the pub, I also have a long list of jukebox “classics” that were constantly played by a range of people (most of them tossers).
So a life long aversion to anything by Meat Loaf, Queen, Guns & Roses, Lynard Skynrd, Boston, Chicago, the Final Countdown, thin lizzy (ok but not the same song 10 times every night), smoke on the water, stairway to heaven, the peter Frampton song and layla.
