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.

If that's the group Turd is complaining about, well, their whole album is pretty good..

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

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.
