**Disarm - Smashing Pumpkins** I hate this song. Always have. It’s so…whiney.

**I Did It - Dave Matthews Band** this one I don’t know why I hate it. Perhaps I just resent how much radio play it saw. Made my favorite band seem suddenly very commercial.

**Wrong Way - Sublime** just annoying.

“Doin’ That Crazy Thing” & its flipside, “Going Down to Rio” by Jeff Lynne

If you’ve ever heard them, you have asked yourself, “What the hell was he smoking?”.

These two songs are some kind of experimental disco torture devices.

“Mamacita” by OutKast. So… very… bad.

**I got my mind set on you** by George Harrison. I mean the guy does albums like All Things Must Pass and Wonderwall music, and this steaming pile of dogcrap gets played a million times a day.

“Plush” by Stone Temple Pilots. Maybe its because they played it like 5 times an hour when it first came out.

“Satellite” by Dave Matthews. Love DMB, but absolutely dispise this song.

I absolutely detested “I just called to say I Love You” by Stevie Wonder. His biggest hit - I think his only No.1 in the UK. Why I will never know.

There aren’t too many songs I’d say I despise, but:

_Changes_ - Black Sabbath  
_Thank You_ - Led Zeppelin  
_Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooming With A Pict_ - Pink Floyd  
and  
_As Tears Go By_ - Rolling Stones

All get a “bad taste” preference setting in my Jukebox Library.

Hmm, I wonder if anyone’s gonna start a:  
_A Song You Like By An Artist You Hate_ thread
