I actually own an entertaining version of Seasons In The Sun. When it’s sped up about three times and punked out, it’s rather more enjoyable.
That said, if I never hear Adia by Sarah McLachlan again, I will die a happy ninja.
It’s not that it’s really a bad song. It’s not that I don’t like McLachlan and her wheezy flat voice. It’s quite charming sometimes.
But holy hell, they played that song one out of every five for four years on the same radio station. I punch my radio whenever I hear the song come on again. :mad:
“Total Eclipse of the Heart”- Bonnie Tyler has a goat voice. I would rather listen to the vocalizations of farm animals than listen to her sing. And the lyrics are just plain whiney. The title metaphor is pathetic.
Every time she sings, “THERE’S NOTHING I CAN SAYYYYY, A TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART!” I just want to get the shotgun and put her out of her misery.
The only song that would guarantee that I’d change the radio channel (back when I lived somewhere where the radio station was worth listening to). It’s just so… horrible.

Are you… ME?
“The Joker” is the worst abomination ever thrust upon mankind. When historians look back at the 1970s, “The Joker” will undoubtedly unseat Watergate as the worst event of the decade.
The “Hey there Delilah something something whine whine whine” song.
Ah, apparently it’s called “Hey Delilah” by the Plain White T’s. Has anyone else had the misfortune of hearing it? It’s squeaky, whiney, and the singer sounds like he’s still in the middle of puberty. I don’t know why, but it sends me into an angry rage whenever that song comes on (and of course my family thinks it’s funny so they turn it up even more). It’s like nails on the chalkboard of my soul.

No. “The Joker” is a great song. I used hate that song once too so I know where you are coming from. Then, one day, something clicked, and I realized what a rockin’ tune this really is. “I get my lovin’ on the ruuun!” Yeah! Rock on Steve Miller!
My additions are “Take the Long Way Home” and “Give a Little Bit” by Supertramp. I hate Supertramp. “American Woman” by the Guess Who can be erased from human history. The remakes by the Goo Goo Dolls :rolleyes: (stupid band name) and Lenny Kravitz respectively can disappear forever too please. Thanks.
AC/DC - their entire catalog sucks.
Black Sabbath/Ozzy Ozbourne - Go away! I never want to hear of them again.
I know this thread is about songs most of us would recognize, but when I read the OP I couldn’t help to think of My Gift To You Is My Words by Black Nova. Even someone who normally enjoys even the rawest black metal should be horrified by this.

That “hey now, you’re a rockstar..” song that was used for 99% of every movie trailer a couple years ago.

That would be “All-Star” by Smash Mouth. I remember a behind-the-scenes thing about the making of Shrek where the producers were trying to figure out what to do with the opening credits and eventually just said “screw it, let’s just go with All Star.”

Oh Gods, yes, I hate that fucking song!! And “Barracuda” by Heart. Also deserves to be banished from this planet and all equivalent universes!
[QUOTE=Beware of Doug] Seasons in the Sun. I’m planning to start a foundation to buy every remaining copy of this record and drop 'em all down a radioactive mineshaft.
[/QUOTE]
This is the only song on the list I wholeheartedly agree with. Sir, your foundation has my undying support. But it’s not enough to destroy every recording of it. We must also erase every digital copy of it from everyone’s hard drive and mp3 player if we want to truly stamp it out.
Most of the rest are my favorites. Especially “Working For the Weekend,” “Centerfield,” “Paradise By the Dashboard Light,” and “The Joker.”
