What are you NOT listening to? (AKA Your most hated songs of all time.) (1 Viewer)

This killed Perfect Day for me

Fukn BBC has a lot to answer for

 

[Toby]

Argggggghhhhh this

You'll break down and cry when they start line dancing. The. Most. Oirish. Pop. Pap. Ever.

You'll need a Catholic priest to exorcise it from your head.

Thank Christ that won't play in America. I can't avoid the temptation of listening, but would never forgive the killing of one of my favorite songs of all time.

Anything Insane Clown Posse. I had to breeze multiple videos since I don't have any running ICP knowledge, I only know I hate them, even though I love the Juggalo documentaries.

First the trash(ier) version of Bones Thugs Harmony Crossroads

Then this awful monsterpiece. Courage, please play this at DCS while PCF'ers nod in harmony as a level while your locals are WTF is going on.
Warning, the prelude is NSFW language only.

The "Tick Tock Cuz I want you dead...." is better than waterboarding.

This was the jam for some of my friends at one point. Terrible if judged according to what it intended to do, but amazing if just enjoyed for what it is:

As a side note, holy shit this is 20 years old. That's blowing my mind right now.

- anything by Elvis Presley.

- songs you've probably never heard of: Dominique (the Singing Nun), My Boy Lollipop (Millie Small), Running Bear (Johnny Preston).

- anything by the Kinks (and two of them are relatives).

- anything by Whiny Willie Nelson.

- anything by Cindi Lauper, Anne Murray, Olivia Newton Bob, and their ilk.

- any "Supper Music" -- Sinatra, Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., etc.

- any opera.

- any bluegrass/real country/Appalachian music.

Now I know how my friends who love Billy Joel feel when I open my yapper.

OK, so it's not a "song"...but I want to cut off my own ears when the "Kars 4 Kids" jingle comes on the radio. Literally the worst thing I've ever heard. I wouldn't give them a car, even if my only other choice was to park the clunker in my front yard -- I hate them that much for polluting the radio with that ear-bleed.

That's my most hated "song" of all time, not even close.

I hate you for making that song go off in my head. Evil, just evil. It is here in Atlanta as well, switch to 80's on 8 immediately when that jingle starts to bore into my skull.

The Beatles - sorry, just cannot listen to them.
Michael Jackson - obvious reason (to me anyway).
Every boy band ever
Anything marketed to preteens
Most death metal is just bad, so we'll just say all death metal.

But if I had to pick one, other than that *#*^*&%@ jingle, it would be

Rihanna - shine bright like a diamond

BiGGyT

 

[abby99]

Without a doubt, it's Mahna Mahna.

Are you sure you didn't forget anything here.

I did not take you for a Pantera or Five Finger Death Punch type of guy

 

[stocky]

Probably 99.9% of all the verbal diarrhea that is getting passed as music these days.

Dodged a bullet!

Pavarotti and various others have done a good job of murdering the tune as well.

 

[pltrgyst]

Yeah, thanks -- I forgot big band music.

I did not take you for a Pantera or Five Finger Death Punch type of guy

I used to drive a Pantera, and it sounded awfully good (with that 351 Cleveland V8).

That's the great thing about music -- it's such a huge world. Even when you dislike a ton, there's still ten tons more to love: rock, folk, jazz, classical, tropical, African, and more.

Hell, I even like bagpipes and banjos. :

I think it's because Lou Reed is so much more widely loved in the UK than in the US, so covers of his songs hit the mainstream over there whereas here the "public songbook" material is much more George Gershwin and Irving Berlin and the like.

So bizarre because Lou worshiped Tin Pan Alley and originally sought to be only a songwriter. Then when he starts to write truly mainstream songs like Perfect Day, people have no interest in him.

 

[Psypher1000]

Dominique (the Singing Nun)

Lol...I loved this song as a kid for some reason. Maybe because it only belonged in a show like Sesame Street.

Oh, idunno if we can be friends, Larry...

 

[Big Jilm]

TORI AMOS. Anything by courtney love. Real twangy redneck country. You know, the kind that you are 100% positive that anyone who listens to it only made it to 12th grade - if that, leaches off the state with their medicaid and food stamps, has a head full of shit, and walks around like they are entitled with a false sense of accomplishment in life. I also hate this, especially seeing it - gross:

 

[kirchhausen]

"Red, Red Wine" makes me want to run over small children with an M1A1 Abrams tank.

You mean it doesn't make you feel so fine, and keep you rockin', all of the time?

 

[pltrgyst]

Not a problem -- they're all dead, and I'm old and half deaf (no, that's not a typo -- "deaf"). So as long as you keep Harry Connick Jr. away from the poker table, I'll be ok with the music.

I heard someone do the most hilarious impression of Harry Connick Jr and now I can't remember where. Maybe Opie and Anthony, but I don't think so. It was really short, but so perfect. That guy is the fucking worst.

 

[GrumpyCatMalaka]

Pour Some Sugar on Me. Don't know why but I can't stand it. Also Buckcherry Crazy Bitch.

 

[jbutler]

Also Buckcherry Crazy Bitch.

Good call - forgot about this one. Very close to Butterfly by Crazy Town from OP in terms of the type of skin crawling it induces in me.

Lou Reed is pretty widely covered in the US. He's adored by the rock generation that followed him. There are prominent covers of his, although not mainstream hits.

REM does at least 2 covers
Cowboy Junkies
Jane's Addiction
Nirvana
Nick Cave
Bowie
Joy Division
The Feelies
Yo La Tengo

Just off the top of my head.

At one point, Penn Jillette wanted to play Velvet Underground covers, so he put together a band. He convinced Lou Reed to sing for them. The ultimate frontman for a VU tribute band.

 

[slisk250]

Pour Some Sugar on Me.

I know why. That song sucks. Absolutely horrible. Def Leppard used to be a band, then they kicked out Pete Willis and turned soft. This song makes me want to chop off that drummer's other arm.

 

[Lars]

No question that the worst song I have to hear on occasion is Girls by the Beastie Boys. Absolute audio shit.

 

[acl1904]

A few more:
Obladi-oblada
Acky breaky heart
The thong song

 

[BNM]

One vote for MacArthur Park. All versions, but particularly the Richard Harris one, because it's Richard Harris, who is badass, debasing himself like that.
