You can’t tell them apart despite Simon’s 40-some year track record of solid folk music, and Mayer’s teenage noodling around with a few chords in the last few years? Sorry. They’re nothing alike.
I’d like to add Aqualung. Jethro Tull may have been necessary once, but there’s no reason this song ever has to be played again. Ever.
I would wholeheartedly agree, and expand that to include ANYTHING by Jethro Tull. 
Perhaps the airplane glue was getting to you?
Another thread just reminded me: *We didn’t start the fire *by Billy Joel.
I cannot believe this thread has gone almost 3 pages now and nobody has mentioned “Raindrops keep falling on my head”.
That song singlehandedly killed a slightly enjoyable movie for me, TOTALLY killed my respect for B.J.Thomas (who by the way came from my hometown of Houston AND is a cousin of my ex-bosses wife.), AND made me hate Hal David and Burt Bacharat music forever.
Sorry for the earbugs I might have planted just by mentioninng it.
“If I Could Save Time in a Bottle”…
(and we HAD to sing it in second grade–the music teacher MADE us.)
I nominate “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlson. It doesn’t help that it’s now part of a Zales jewelry commercial.
Other candidates:
“Kids in America” by the Jonas Brothers, Cascada, and pretty much anybody who has ever re-recorded it. Isn’t the original by Kim Wilde cool enough? The line “New York to East California” always gets to me, mostly because I have no idea what constitutes East California. (San Bernardino? Lake Tahoe?)
“My Neck, My Back”, by Khia. Google the lyrics to see what I mean, I’m not going to post them here.
Since someone mentioned Elton John, I’m going to nominate his “A Word in Spanish.” He mentions watching a movie in which the heroine says the aforementioned word to the leading man, but not once does he reveal the word. What is it? Arrgh! (Infuriating mostly because I speak Spanish)
That Paul McCartney song that goes “Someone’s knocking at the door, someone’s ringing the bell…” :mad:
Steve Miller rocks exceedingly hard. He rocks, in a most rocking fashion, like a very hard thing indeed
If it is at a possible, Bob Seger out-rocks Steve Miller. Head-to-Head, “Jet Airliner” followed by “Betty Lou’s Getting Out Tonight” may be the rockingest 6 and a half minutes ever in the history of recorded rockularity.
“Shake Hands with the Devil” by Kris Kristoffersen should never be listened to by anyone, ever. I cannot believe the man who wrote “Help Me Make It Through The Night” wrote that chunk o’ crap. It somehow made my playlist on the last time I uploaded music (I think I actually wanted “Jesus was a Capricorn” - Jesus, Devil, I can’t tell one from the other) and it is truly putrid.
Ornette Coleman’s entire recorded output should be burned, all references to the fact that he ever recorded a shred of music should be erased from every form of media and he should be judicially chastised for wasting his life playing absolute crap.
Sitting on a park bench –
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot is running down his nose –
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun –
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck –
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Huh, I always thought that song was somehow about Jaques Cousteu and that ol’ Jaques was a pervert.
Turns out to be a homeless guy, and that homeless guy is a pervert.
Meh, sucks either way, throw it up against the wall.
The most awful piece of music ever done. I actually feel sick when I hear it.
This morning on the way to work…Fernando by Abba. Aaaaaaahhhh!!!
Oh my god - what radio station do you LISTEN to???
104.3 Jack FM. For about 2 seconds…
I thought I had something better, but nope. The Joker is the worst peice of crap let loose on mankind.
Man. Some bands I don’t get.
Like Smashmouth. Are they anybody’s favorite band? They belong in the basement of the local frat house, not on the national airwaves.
Sugar Ray: Only popular because Mark McGrath is pretty. Songs are annoying earworms. And what does the DJ do in the band, exactly?
Linkin Park: I want to punch that whiny bastard in the face. I actually heard a new song of theirs. Upbeat and the non-whiny guy sang it. Tolerable. When I mock this band I put on a really mopey voice and scream “it doesn’t really matter!” And what does the DJ do in the band, exactly?
Matchbox 20, Vertical Horizon, and those 90s bands that get played on the easy listening station. Ugh.
The hatred for Nickelback has been adequately discussed, so I’ll simply tick that box. Creed actually had some good songs before they got super-God-centric
