Songs and artists you used to like but gone off?

Listening to the Golden Hour and they are playing some great songs I loved but they don't sound so great now.

Are there any songs and artists you used to love but they don't fire you up like they used to?

I am not necessarily talking about artists who have disgraced themselves over the years.

I've got loads- mainly because my taste in music has changed quiet radically recently.

I no longer listen to:
Lily Allen
Joss Stone
Shut up and drive- Rihanna
Razorlight
The Zutons
Most songs by Girls Aloud
Hollaback Girls by Gwen Stefani (What are you waiting for's OK though)
I wish I was a punk rocker...- Sandi Thom
Ciara
Hips don't lie- Shakira and Wyclef Jean

Leona Lewis loved her on X factor but if I hear that b----y song I keep bleeding once more I'll need a blood tranfusion.

Weezer - They've really gone downhill since their Pinkerton album.

I used to like ska-punk while at college (Less Than Jake, Goldfinger etc) but can't stand it now.

Ive really gone off Britpop. In 1994-95, I loved it all: Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Dodgy etc etc
Nowadays, I just yawn if I hear of a new Oasis release, I really hope there is never a Blur re-union, and even Jarvis Cocker's recent stuff didn't interest me.
I don't even listen to this stuff much for nostalgia anymore. I was seventeen in 1994, I felt that the world belonged to me and there was so much ahead of me to be enjoyed.
I now listen to Parklife or Definitely Maybe and I feel a sense of disappointment that life didn't really work out how I hoped or imagined when I first heard those songs, and much as I loved living in that time, and being that age, there is no point in going back and I'd rather the music didn't try to take me.
Which is one reason I love 70s music - because I don't remember the 70s, the songs of Marc Bolan or Seals and Crofts have no memories or wistfulness attached and I can enjoy the music on its own terms.

Of current artists, I''ve really gone off the Feeling. 'Twelve Stops...' found me at a particularly emotional time of my life involving a certain young lady, and the tracks almost plotted out our relationship.
I've heard tracks from Join With Us and they are never going to mean that much to me. They've become just another boring chart band now.

Good post Lazlo.....tend to agree about new releases from old Britpop kings.......

Also, I used to really like those Top Of The Pops albums when I was a kid.......me 'thrifty' dad told me they were the original artists, and I, being nowt but a trusting naive child, bought the lie hook, line and sinker........

Consequently If I heard the real Brotherhood Of Mann on the radio it sounded like a watered down dupe to my kiddie ears, 'cos dad had told me I already had the original and best on the TOTP albums........

In conclusion, I find it hard to listen to anything pre-1980.........

Rachel Stevens, used to play her music all the time, tried to the other day and it just doesn't interest me anymore. I can still listen to Busted and McFly though.

I have to say I struggle to think of any artists I have completely gone off that I used to like. However, i have gone off so many songs and the one thing in common - back in my mobile DJ days, I had to play them far too often. Anyone who has done that, had mates who have done it j, or are currently mobile DJs will know what I mean! Admittedly looking back, I think liking some of these songs was a recipe for disaster.

So...

B-52's - Love Shack
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen (as a kid I liked it for some reason)

Hot Chocolate - You Sexy Thing (HATE HATE HATE!!!)

Tina Turner - The Best (as a kid, loved it when it came out but having middle aged women demanding "Tina" every week kills it and hasn't everyone heard this enough by now?

Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved (what a bland song - dunno why I liked it.

James Blunt - You're Beautiful (aka The Lady In Red for 2005!)

ABBA - Waterloo

oh and finally...

UB40 - Red Red Wine (wouldn't care if I never heard the song again - it has to their most overrated recording.)

What used to tick me off with "Red Red Wine" was that UB40 have made so many other great songs but people still insisted on having "red red wine."

So... a tip for people who fancy a bit of UB40 at their next disco - think again - ask for something like "one in ten," "if it happens again," "cherry oh baby," "rat in mi kitchen" or "kingston town" or ANYTHING by UB40 but Red Red Wine.

Radiohead. I used to listen all the time but now I hardly ever do. I have no desire to either.

Bryan Adams! There's an artist I forgot to mention. Yep, way too many requests for "Summer of 69," "cloud #9," "everything I do" and "run to you" killed any chance of me being a lifelong fan.
