Beginning in September 2017 and running through April of 2018, I am unveiling my second Top 30 countdown on this blog. This one will rank the iconic songs that I just don’t like. To find out what qualifies a song as “iconic” for me, check out this introductory post on the countdown. Beginning with #30 and rolling along every Wednesday for thirty weeks, you will learn which highly regarded songs from the annals of pop music that only manage to make my ears bleed. While you very likely will not agree with my thoughts on a number of these songs, I’ll bet I also touch on a few you think need to be taken down a peg or two as well! Don’t be afraid to express your true feelings in each of these posts!
