I opened this thread solely to proclaim my hatred of “Bennie and the Jets.” For some ungodly reason, my boss has been putting the radio on a local soft-rock station and I hear “Bennie and the Jets” every damned day. It wasn’t even good the first time.
I managed to shove Creed entirely out of my mind until this thead. Thanks.
Is Five for Fighting’s song that “We’ve only got one hundred years…to live” song? Regardless, I hate it.
Gary Puckett and the Union Gap - anything by them. I only need to hear the first note or two of any of their stuff, and my hand is instantly on the scan button.
GAH!
I just realized that’s not the song I meant. I was confusing it with “My Heart Will Go On.” That’s the ear-bleed #1.
I heard on the radio recently that this was voted the worst rock song ever. (I don’t remember who/what did the voting, though.)
Songs that have me changing the radio station include “I Shot the Sheriff” and “You’re So Vain”.
I believe it was voted on by people who could hear.
I HATEHATEHATE that stupid song that gets overplayed on the R&B stations - “This is how we do it” or something like that - I never bothered to find out the name because I hate it so much that I always change the station.
That and any screechy hoochie-mama wailing music. You know, ghetto yodeling.
Wow. Tough crowd. Sweet Home Alabama???
Music is generally pretty beautiful I think.
That said, if ever a blind man deserved to get his ass kicked it’s Stevie Wonder for composing “I Just Called to Say I Love You.”
Now that song SUCKS. GG.
Whew! It’s not just me.
“You don’t bring me flow-ers…eh-nee-moooooooore…”
…because you SUCK!
YOU!!!You make me feel BRAND NEW!!!I song this song cause YOU!!!Make me feel…Brandnew!!
You know one of the worst things about Whitney Houston’s version of I Will Always Love You? (Also goes for the current Jessica Simpson? version of Take My Breath Away.) I think those songs were popular when they came out because of the movies they belonged in. I would far rather associate I Will Always Love You with a whore telling a sheriff to leave her for the sake of his political career than with a ghetto-yodeling pop singer. To me, Take My Breath Away brings to mind Tom Cruise flying a plane. It has nothing to do with this blond bimbette who is not improving on the original version!
Just overheard from a passing car on the way:
Dancing in the Moonlight, by Toploader (not the Thin Lizzy song)
I hate everything about this, from the floppy haired toilet of a singer, to the fact it reminds me of Jamie Oliver, who I also hate. I am now going to listen to Public Enemy until it is expunged from my mind.
Tom Sawyer by Rush. Hate that song.
Also Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire. Not because there’s anything wrong with it, but because the tiniest snippet of it will cause the song to get lodged in my brain for hours.
