God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood. Horrible. I have to listen it to it (again) on Friday (my company plays it at the end of quarterly company meeting). Owner of company right wing-nut. Hard not to wretch. ---

It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me" by Billy Joel-inveterate piano balladeer attempts to rock out, and utterly (and ironically) fails. It just kind of lurches on from beginning to end like a flesh starved zombie about to keel over for good. ---

Heh. There’s several songs on here I like, most recently _It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me_. ☹ The Billy Joel ‘anthem’ that sucks balls most is _We Didn’t Start the Fire_. Dear God, who wants to hear him speed read off a frigging list? ---

Figures, I like the OP’s song. It’s not my favorite song by that band, but I like it well enough. The song “[Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cM127-YVIw)” by Jay Z leaves me contemplating murder. Usually of the person playing it. ---

This is another hated song. I was delivering newspapers when it came out and I think every person under 30 had it as their damn ringtone. When we’d get the text that the truck was on it’s way, dozens of phones would go off with this one [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7\_U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U) ---

With all due respect, i’ll offer _those_ apologies to **WOOKINPANUB** 😛 [From Day 1:](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19236579&postcount=47) [QUOTE= WOOKINPANUB] Just as I couldn’t pin down a single most hated song, neither can I narrow down my very favorite, so I’ll offer Baker Street as one I’ve loved from the first time I heard it(so, 40+ years) and enjoy every bit as much each time I hear it now.

Can’t really come up with anything as stuff I don’t like I skip and blank. The only recent one I can think of is [Coming Home Pt II](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-ImCpNqbJw). Diddy ruining Skylar Grey’s song. Looked for the original after listening to [this cover](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CUEB2D-bos) that wipes the floor with all of them.
