This has to be the most overplayed song of the year.

Have you not heard "Pieces Of Me"? Cuz I swear to George Burns they played that song on the radio, had a bit of chatter, and then played it again immediately after. It has to be stopped.

In addition to being overplayed, I find it to be a terrible, soulless, worthless, generic piece of Top 40 dreck.

How Far Is Heaven??? Never heard of it. Then again I don't torture myself by listening to the radio. Seriously, that can drive you LOCO!!

Let me tell you a secret.......there's this new technology called Compact Discs or CDs - they'll revolutionize the way you hear music man! Ohh... and they're commercial free.

I'll one up you on the CDs. We also have mp3s, and fan-based Internet radio stations which not only play specific genres that you like, but also without commercials! They also have commercial radio stations which don't cater to 12 year-old girls. You might want to try moving the dial up and down a bit.

For instance, I couldn't tell you who sings either of the songs mentioned here, and have no idea what the melody of either is.

It could be worse. I love listening to NPR but every five minutes they're begging for money.

Never heard of it either. I guess I'm not missing anything.

I'd take having a chip implanted in my brain that plays an mp3 of "How Far Is Heaven" in an endless loop any day over having to hear "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5 even one more time.

Yeah, I know commerical radio sucks. I'm pricing my XM Radio options right now. I do agree with the previous poster that the Maroon 5 single is equally terrible.
