Thought I was the only one. Never never never never could stand Mick Jagger’s…whatever the hell he was doing. Certainly not singing.
You can throw me in with the Eagles haters, too - but that’s only due to massive overexposure. “Seven Bridges Road” I still think one of the best songs I know.
Along those lines, there was a popular rock song (Billy Joel?) that started “One…two…one twooo three four…” and that’s all the farther I ever got, in the history of it airing, before changing the station. So I’ve never heard the whole thing.
Another one I just thought of - that song that goes “Ooooh that smell!”
all the above.
most of the below too.
kill ugly radio.
1st one I thought of! Horribly overrated IMO.
My Free Bird story: When I was a 16-year-old CIT* at a summer camp, I helped one of the counselors DJ a dance. I knew he hated Free Bird with a vengeance. I switched labels on two cassettes, so about halfway through the dance he played it without intending to. Two notes into the song, he jumped up and chased me out of the mess hall and into the woods until we both ran out of breath.

I agree…but Jerry Garcia’s wonderful pedal steel guitar work on that song deserves special mention as well.
I’ve never heard a Rod Stewart song that I liked.
If there’s a God, his fingers were on those strings. The sound can only be fairly described as “luminous.” I don’t mind the song, either.
And hopefully out of earshot as well!
Kashmir, or however its spelled. Dull, repetitive, dull, repetitive.
Crosby Stills and Nash - I love them, except for Marrakesh Express. The thought of all those happy, peppy hippies off on a grand tour of Morocco (to eat cakes of hashish till they go into a coma) while the rest of the world slaves away making a living fills me with rage.
I like it! It reminds me of riding on a camel across the sand dunes. I know some young people who were entranced by this song when it was sampled, some years ago, by P. Doody or whatever the hell his name is, in some rap song. They were surprised to find out Kashmir was an actual song on mom’s old Led Zeppelin album.
Boys of Summer by the Eagles.
In fact almost any later “softer” songs by established groups and artists. Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, etc… Bleah
Season In the Sun (kill me now, let me die alone!)
Just Don Henley’s fault.
:smack:
point still stands, tho
sort of
Robert Plant making the Honeydrippers songs grated on my nerves, too.
Neil Young after CSN&Y tho, now that I like. And somehow, CS&N didn’t ever sound as good to me after. Go figure
Yes. Bleccccchhh.
Morbo:
I believe that would be “Matter of Trust.” The song isn’t bad, IMHO, but my tastes, of course, aren’t everybody’s.
I’ll cast another vote for “Imagine.” I can’t believe how beloved that idiot hippie song is.
Ooh … Barracuda!
Back when the song was a hit, someone played that on full volume for something like 5 hours. The neighbors had the person arrested and charged with - get this - terrorism.
:dubious:
Their video was lampooned on the original “Beavis and Butthead”. One of them said, “The Traveling Dingleberries? I had one of those once. It traveled all over my butt.”
Two sappy “love songs” that in one case isn’t:
“I Can’t Fight This Feeling”, REO Speedwagon
“More Than Words”, Extreme. Folks, a song about a man telling his SO that she’s history unless she has sex with him is NOT appropriate for weddings.
