That’s a bridge too far for me, and I know I’m on record as citing that as my vote for worst song of all time. But that has always been in the context of a response to the question of worst songs, or if directly confronted with the song itself.

The bottom line is that we can’t help whatever is wired into our musical DNA. I just read an article an hour ago in today’s NYT that was a condensed interview with Stephen Malkmus, formerly of Pavement, a 90’s band I really liked (still do actually), and he was talking about his love of the Carpenters and Captain & Tennille because it was on the radio so much during his formative years and reminded him of that time. He’s a year younger than me, and I was thinking the same thing as I was reading it. I don’t own any of their music (unless I still have them among my old 45s) and haven’t listened to it consciously in decades, but I still know it by heart and wouldn’t turn them off if they came on the 70s station, which is on my second screen of Sirius presets.
