This week, the week of February 8-12, 2016, we will be looking at anti-love songs!

We call it:  "I love hating you!"

February 12, 2016

First a note:  After almost two months it should be pretty obvious that most of the songs chosen for the MMMI are going to songs *I* like.  So if you think there could be a better song (or more songs) that fit a theme feel free to share!

With that out of the way...

I know many people think Valentine's Day is just another excuse to guilt us into buying stuff for people whether it be a simple card or something much larger. To that end there have been plenty of songs over the years about love and breakups and, well, not being in love anymore.

Here are some of my favorites!

Look, I won't insult anyone with trying to hide today's pick.

The theme is anti-love songs. I have shown for almost two months my musical tastes.  And it is Friday so why work to hard at this!

Released in 1980, "Love Stinks" was one of two top 40 releases from the album of the same name for the J. Geils Band.

That is it for this week!  Hope it made the work week a little easier!

Next week a brand new theme and five more songs!

Thanks for stopping by!

Whitfiled and Krause liked music and wanted to make music!  So they formed a band.

And they liked loud, metal music!

They liked "Black Sabbath" and covered some of their songs and then while they were cutting their first album they had a chance to open for Ozzy Osbourne on tour!

Using that spotlight the band's first album spawn they first (and highest charting) song.  A little ditty about their strong feelings toward that certain someone:

"Everything About You" went to #6 on the US charts in 1992 but wasn't the band's best single.  That was their cover of Harry Chapin's "Cat's In The Cradle" which went to #3 the next year.

Ugly Kid Joe did, however, set a record when they were the first to have an EP (Extended Play) album go double platinum with "Ugly As They Wanna Be". 

Tommorow:  You know the theme, you know my musical likes, you can smell this one coming!

As I make up the themes for each week I go off some tangents.  And I've considered doing an entire week of this artist highlighting all the different genres she has crossed from decade to decade and all the other talents she worked with!

A remake that had been on the Hot 100 in 1963 and reached #3 in the UK in 1964 by another artist...song of regret of leaving a good love for a bad one...it was released in 1975 off the 1974 "Heart Like A Wheel" album, 

Linda Ronstadt first sang the song in a live television performance in 1973.

The song was her first, and only, number one hit.

Tomorrow: Things good get ugly!

Released in 1995, and with musical backing from Flea and Dave Navarro, and sung by god herself:

A top ten hit in the US (#1 on the Modern Rock chart) reaching #6 in July of 1996 it was Alanis Morisette's second and last top 10 hit.

From their 1989 album Dr. Feelgood this one went top 20 in 1990 for Motley Crue....
