The song by the Dave Matthews Band that starts off with : “You cannot quit me so quickly…”. As soon as I hear that line, I respond by saying “Oh yeah?” and then switch the station. I think that the Dave Matthews Band is the most over-rated band around. I think I’d rather see the Backstreet Boys in concert.

I also agree that “Its Been A While” by Staind is puke-inducing.
Ya know, I’m gonna have to change my original answer. I just heard the new Staind single (“I just needed someone to talk to/You were always just too busy”). I think I hate that one even more.
Wrong. If you have heard ‘… And out come the wolves’ then there is NO WAY you can even say this!
Admittedly their new album (with skull on the front) couldn’t suck harder if it was a Dyson, but ‘Wolves’ is sheer, unadulterated punk genius.
back to the OP - I really, really hate the new REM song, don’t know the name, don’t want to.
Oh, and Stereophonics - ‘Have a nice day’ is really, very bad.
Ween.
Well, heck, if we’re going to that time period, how about that Crash Test Dummies song, “Mmmm mmmm mmmm.”
And I’ll always loathe the Fine Young Cannibals. I hated “She Drives Me Crazy” when it came out over ten years ago and the pop stations here in Michigan ARE STILL PLAYING IT IN DAILY ROTATION. Just to piss me off–I am absolutely positive of this.
Tool. It’s “Schism”, the first single from their newest album Lateralus. Number five. Not the best song on the CD, and it is seriously overplayed. But that’s what happens when a new single comes out.
I love Lateralus, and I can’t wait till it falls off the radio. I hate hearing Tool songs too often; I’d rather savor them at irregular intervals.
That would be “Schism” by Tool. I promise never to play this song if I should ever meet you, AR, but I love that song.
The Biz Markie song cracks me up. We made a parody of it years ago.
“Oh baybee yoooou…
You got a hair weeeeeeeave,
But you say it’s your real hair,
You say it’s your real hair!”
(My friend came up with that, but I secretly assume it’s a Weird Al song.)
My least favorite song of all time is “Under the Bridge” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love the Peppers, but DAMN that song sucks!
Likewise. The thing I hate most about the radio is the way it makes people hate bands. When a song gets overplayed, the person decides they HATE that song, and the band. But they might not really dislike any of it, they might just be sick of hearing it.
“The Grudge” is currently my favorite song.
Get Your Freak On I believe is the name of the song. How does crap like this get recorded? It sounds like the kind of music you would find in an old Commodore 64 game. Well, I shouldn’t say that because that’s an insult to the high quality of the C64’s sound capabilities.
Amen to that!!! 
His voice GRATES against me like I don’t know what! Seriously, I think I’d have less shivers listening to someone scrape their fingernails down a blackboard!
I can forgive the likes of Britney, N’Sync, Dream, and their cohorts…c’mon, they’re kids! And I’d bet anything that if we were the age of their primary fans, we’d be falling all over them!
Christina Aguliera, on the other hand…such a voice and such a waste of talent…
I heard the song again today, gave it a chance, and sort of liked it. How about that?
[rant-o-rama]OK, first of all, anything by Creed just makes me angry. Such self-righteous, Eddie Vedder vocal wanna-be, wuss-rock. Who listens to this crap?
But then I could say the same for 95 percent of everything on the radio since about Hooty and The Counting Crows. That whole alterna-lite, adult alternative stuff gives me the hives. Not saying there isn’t the occasional gem out there. Just most of what I’ve heard since about '95 has been this safe, warmed over crap that was a (over) reaction to the whole grunge/alternative explosion of the early 90’s.
To the OP, there are so many songs I hear that I just don’t like and couldn’t be bothered to know who performed it, let alone the name of the song. [/rant-o-rama]
OK, here’s one that is forced upon me everytime I step foot into the gym, the “Follow me, everything’s all right, I’ll be the one to tuck you in at night… blah blah, won’t find nobody else like me” God. Kick the speaker out on that one.
Also, under the category of truly needless covers: Smashmouth’s “I’m a Believer” and Billy Idol’s even more horrible “Don’t You Forget About Me”.
Billy. I haven’t forgotten you, but now I can’t FORGIVE you.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE covers. GOOD covers. Me First and the Gimme Gimmies? Brilliant.
But unlike the forementioned artists, they changed, some would say, improved the songs.
General rule of thumb for covers: If you can’t improve upon the original, or at least take an original approach to it, don’t bother.
Which leads me to my ultimate # 1 most hated song out now: The ridiculously poor cover of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes”. I think anyone who’s been on the planet for more than 12 years is pretty familiar with the original. Peter Gabriel has re-released it several times himself in various incarnations, live versions, studio versions. It’s certainly been included on more than one soundtrack. And quite prominently in Say Anything.
We get it, Peter.
It’s a good song.
A little over exposed, but a good song.
So along comes band du jour who release a live, piss poor rendition themselves.
Come on guys. Write a new song, ok? Please?
And whatever you do, don’t use that vocal distorter Cher used last year. It was sort of novel when she did it, now it’s just sad.
Ok, I’m gonna go now and dig out some old CD’s.
Anything by those annoying Manga-esque blue seventies looking cartoon video idiots that make insanely repetitive crappy pop songs with distorted vocals. Daft Punk is what they’re called, I think. “One more time” may very well be their greatest hit. My GOD, they suck like an Electrolux on nitro.
Well, I have to admit I like “Follow Me” (that’s Uncle Kracker, just so you know what to avoid) but it has been getting some serious airtime. Even my 6 year old recognizes it. (It was playing in the supermarket this week. “Mommy, you have this music!”)
The song most getting on my nerves right now is “Crawling”, by Linkin Park. It truly grates.
On my “surely you jest?” list at the moment…There is a song I’ve heard a couple times-the lyric is and the memory remains where the vocalist stretches out the word “remains” with that overdone metal growl-I think it might be Metallica, but I’m not sure. [understatement]I’m not a big heavy metal fan.[/understatement] Is it just me, or have they crossed the line into unfortunate self-parody?
It would be difficult to say that this is Metallica’s finest moment.
Metallica crossed the line into self-parody right when they released And Justice, IMO. (Uh oh…pit thread? 
)
They have an offer on the Cartoon network of “popular” songs, but not by the original artists.
I think.
My son now decides that the title and lyric should be
Oops, I pooped in your face"…
Well even though a lot of you hate Bootylicious by Destiny’s Child, I really can’t stand their song Survivor. The damn chorus plays so many times…and they just say the word “survivor” over and over and over again…
[sub]But Bootylicious doesn’t exactly tickle my fancy either[/sub]
