1,000 Posts and Counting

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic30 Comments

I can’t believe I have done 1,000 Posts.  I never thought I would be able to keep up with the site let alone get this far.  It all started on April 17th, 2016 with my very first post which was “Road Rage” Playlist!

And now, 1,304 days later here I am at my 1,000th post.  Crazy!!

Since we are looking back, let’s take a look at the Top 5 Posts viewed and the Bottom 5 posts viewed.  It is always curious to me which ones do well and which ones don’t. Sometimes I feel like I wrote a great post that was so witty and insightful, yet hardly any one sees it and then others I think I sucked at it and should have never posted and ends up getting a butt load of hits.  There is no rhyme or reason for any of it I am sure.

Here are the Top 5 Posts viewed:

5. Top Rock Songs of 2018 – 4,103 views:  This one only did well thanks to the one and only Michael Sweet of Stryper.  I picked the Stryper song “Take it to the Cross” as the #7 song of the year and he tweeted about it and mentioned it on Facebook (and so did Stryper).  As a result, this post took off!!  Thanks Michael!!

4. Maroon 5 – The Albums Ranked Worst to First – 4,393 views:  And this one did well thanks to Maroon 5 playing the Super Bowl half time show.  That week before and after were huge on views.

3. The Original vs. The Cover – “The Sound of Silence” – 5,110 views:  This is one I never realized would have done so well.  Thanks to a first page result when you Google this song, I get a bunch of reviews everyday.  I hope that continues.

The Worst Song Ever?

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic18 Comments

Every decade gives us crappy songs and the 80’s probably gave us one of the worst songs I have ever heard.  I find it amazing that this song actually received steady rotation on MTV. What is the song you ask?  It is “Fish Heads” by Barnes & Barnes.

Now I think the song actually came out in 1978 and was a favorite of Dr. Demento’s radio show, but that doesn’t help its case for me.  Even knowing that actor, Bill Paxton, was the appeared in the video still doesn’t help.  I think I saw somewhere he was also the director. That just makes me think less of Bill Paxton (that and Twister didn’t help).

I know this was a comedy bit, but it is so gawd awful.  I can’t find one redeeming thing about this song.   Maybe I am too dense to be in on the joke.  See what you think and if you don’t die from a brain hemorrhage, let me know your thoughts.
