Day 16 – A song that you used to love but now hate

Song: "Been Caught Stealing" - Jane's Addiction, Ritual De Lo Habitual (1990)

Don't get me wrong: I don't hate "Been Caught Stealing." I just like it way less than I used to. High-school-Simon was a huge grunge fanatic and Jane's Addiction were a band that came along with those obsessions. Since "Been Caught Stealing" was their biggest single, I felt compelled to love it on principle. But the years have not been kind to the song. The media has overexposed it, especially on any VH1-esque feature on music downloading. Plus, as I've discovered more and more bands and songs and sounds, Jane's Addiction have been relegated to a third or fourth tier interest. I respect them for their the musical ground that they broke and their reputation and legacy among other artists. I just tune out when I hear those dogs barking.
