If you are not following the thread, why comment on it?
I am listening to the music and keeping mum on music i do not like because you see, that is my opinion so it is personal. I am not reading all the comments.
I have largely been doing that myself but I think it is useful to note when something was overdone at the time. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was one of them. I liked it until about the 25,000th time it was played on the radio. No internet and only two radio stations and one of those was a country and western station. This is not a condition that the youngsters would be familiar with but was quite common in any but the largest cities.
I honestly don't really remember Edmund Fitzgerald being overplayed as much as you say, but I grew up in a larger midwestern city with quite a few radio stations, and my parents had their own music they listened to. Generally when I heard Gordon Lightfoot it was when my dad was playing his records. In later years, of course, that was the song I heard being played on the radio most often. It was one of his most popular hits, but it is a really good song.
