OK, here’s a new topic – moronic songs that one can’t stand to listen to.
These three get my vote as the most irritatingly stupid songs ever written:
If God was one of us – Joan Osbourne (daaarrrrr darrrr........darrrrr darrrrr)
Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band (“Sky rockets in flight” “WTF?)
Ironic - Alanis Morissette ("Isn't it Irr....."....Urgghh, NO!.....buy a dictionary dummy......)

Also the early U2 stuff was not bad, like the stuff they released around the time they did This monkey's going to heaven, and Sunday bloody Sunday... |

Being slightly uncharitable here, but:
We Are the World - USA For Africa (read the lyrics and cringe)
Do They Know It's Christmas? - Band Aid (an apt name)
Ferry across the Mersey.... :violin:
and most other "charity" records.
Nothing more sickening that luvvies trying to be sincere. Yuck. |

Here's my top three:
1. Hey Hey Paula by Paul and Paula. This countryish song was number one in New York City for two or three awful months back in the real early sixties. Still can't believe it-New York went for this hokum? For those inclined to check out the song to see what was so bad, try imagining listening to it thousands of times over three months.
2. Copacabana by Barry Manilow. "Nuff said.
3. Girls Nite Out by Tyler Collins. The background had a chorus of female voices purposely singing "Night Night Night out, night night night out" to sound like "nyaah nyaah nyaah". Like these were third graders in the schoolyard. The video consisted of the singer doing a strip show. |

Lol yes you are right, it was the Pixies... somehow I was transfixed in a moment almost 20 years ago, with school friends listening to both... I think U2 was playing and one of my friends haad the Pixies album in his hands... lol and I ironicaly know pixies music very well.. (bit of a Frank Black fan).
I actualy enjoy good machine made music too... not danceing stuff (one needs a temporary chemical adjustment to enjoy that), but mood music like Autechre... and Plaid. |

Without a doubt: Your Cheatin' Heart by Hank Williams Jr (I think).
I was stationed at Mt. Home AFB, Idaho in the mid 60's and it seemed they played ("back by Popular Request") that song 30+ times a day. Problem was that it was the only station my radio would pick up.
Still makes me crazy when I hear it, although the Good News is that my favorite station plays only Classical, so I'm generally protected;)

My swipe at Phil Collins- for his Live Earth gig, his band is using a 10 megawatt stage lighting system.

I still have Agadoo stuck in my head. I know it's the topic but some things still should never be mentioned.
Popcorn was sort of historic though. The art was not so much in the music but the fact they made their own instruments, formed a band, were world famous and still were geeks.
Anything by Mariah Carey - Pick a note, any note and hold it for more than 3 milliseconds.
Anything new from Cher - any more digital tweaking and she'll sound like Stephen Hawking. |

Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me...a musical version of a mosquito buzzing in your ear.
Gym Class Heroes - Cupid's Chokehold...mostly because of an ex, after hearing it as a ringtone I'm forever annoyed by it.
Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight...*yawn*
And as much as I love Dylan's music (with my avatar and signature, c'mon :)), he really should have left his harmonica home for the Live @ Royal Albert Hall shows. It's a gorgeous take of 'Desolation Row', until he starts playing that :whazzat: |

| What drives me crazy is "comeback tours". Why are people so eager to see old musicians annihilate their own earlier works? The next time I see Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman on TV playing at some live Canadian event (once a month?) I will toss something through the screen. John Fogerty's "The Old Man Down the Road" guaranteed that I would never purchase anything by CCR. |

Crikey! Thanks for the earworm, buster. That guy's voice had the charm of termite-rotted wood.
Other singers on my do-not-play list:
1) Bob Seger. The whole of "Night Moves" sounds like he's trying to squeeze out a large loaf -- and failing.
2) John Cougar Mellencamp. All the sincerity of a K-Tel Midnight Collection peddler. Mountain lions should sue for defamation.
3) John Cafferty And The Beaver Brown Band. Apart from the hideous band name, designed for StupidFratBoy appeal, the guy sounds like a barking seal. Ork ork ork ork. Terrible stuff.
4) ANYBODY using the word "baby" in a song referring to humans more than two years old. Usually going "baby baby baby baby baby babyyyyyy, squeeze my lemon til the juice"... I can't go on. Freakin' pedo wannabes.
5) The worst offender of the above, Robert Plant. Half the time he wants to be a hobbit and the other half a Viking raider. Poncy poser all day, every day. |

Back a long, long time ago--back in the 1960's, as best I can recall. a frat house at a large University (Texas A&M comes to mind, but it's been just too long to be sure), created a fund raiser with the sort of music mentioned here.
For a small admission price ($.50-1.00) thousands of bug-eyed college folks watched the "fitting demise" of a couple hundred of the worst 45s of the decade. An old jukebox was filled with the offending music, hoisted by a crane something like 150 feet into into the air, directly above a concrete pad, then cut loose for the gratification of the joyful crowd.
One tune that comes to mind, that was in the mix, was entitled "Billy Don't be a Hero". I think "Leader of the Pack" was another. I suspect most forum readers may be too young to remember either of these gems. |

I've been known to like a little bit of rap and hip hop, although probably not what you're thinking, so I'll leave that debate alone.
Brian Adams - Summer of 69. Put a drunk yob in charge of a pub jukebox with a very sick me trying to sleep upstairs: Summer of 69 six times. Brown Eyed Girl four times. The Wind Cries Mary three times.
I was not happy, particularly as I love Hendrix. But I now cannot hear Summer of 69 without wanting to punch someone. |

| 1969 was actually a very, very good year for music! The charts were filled with a wide variety of great music of many types. Noteable exceptions however, included: "Jam Up & Jelly Tight" by Tommy Roe. "In the Year 2525" by Zager and Evans (a medley of all their biggest hits!), and "I'm Livin in Shame" by Dianna Ross & the Supremes (easily their worst offering ever!--A tribute to her relationship with Berry Gordy?) |

In the right environment, I can enjoy just about any type of music. Lil Jon, Vengaboyz, Marilyn Manson, Celine Dion, Cake, .... the list goes on. However, I cannot stand anything from the Smashing Pumpkins. I hate it all. Hate hate hate.
I can even stand most of everything on the billboard hot 100, except Beyonce - Irreplaceable really gets on my nerves. She managed to rhyme "minute" with ... wait for it ... "minute"! Genius.

Hmmmm.... music died after the 90's..... been very few good songs since then and I never have liked most of the garbage that passes for music these days. I especialy HATE HATE HATE HATE Averil Lavine with a bloody white hot passion... but I hate Frank Sinatra :yuck: (makes me sick just saying it) and ALL other music of the same genre So bad it make averil look like heaven... Frank sinatra :dead: makes me want to destroy anything that it plays on.... That is THE MOST ANNOYING s*** to ever come out of a speaker or radio transmitter. ALL of todays so called "TOP-40" makes me cringe... TOP-40... HAHAHAHA what a joke! should be the "TRASH-40"
LOL
90's Alt. rock is the best... lots of good stuff there, 80's rap was really good, MC hammer sucked, and vanilla ice, dont even get me started, only thing "Ice ice baby" is good for is testing subwoofer excursion, then blowing it up to put it out of its misery for playing that trash to begin with.
The 60's and 70's had some of the best music ever IMO, yes Im a hippie, may not be an old hippie, but I live by hippie standards. NO I DONT LIKE DISCO! Disco make me cringe.. YMCA comes to mind :yuck: kill me now as its playing on the d@mn radio as im typing!
Not to mention cars with so much loud obnoxios DISTORTED bass that youd think the subwoofers were actually propelling the car down the road... I like my bass, but not distorted, and not so much there is no midrange or treble. Sometimes i actually hear some good music on those stereos, but its distorted and ruined by too much bass boost. All I ever needed was a 8" sub and 50 watts.... not 20Kw and 50 18" monsters and not to mention, broken windows. I like my sound as true to the original as possible.
enough ranting for now... I just can beleve how music has gone to the sewer so bad in just 10 years! wow.. it blows my mind. Thanks American Idol for ruining something that was once good.
there is some good new music out there, its just not easy to find, and not played on any mainstream radio stations. |

How about anything from Macy Gray... gut wrenching... in a bad way, lol
But there are some bands on this list that I do like, or at least I like some of their songs. I typically do not blanket a whole band as bad or good (With the exception of Macy Gray); for example I like some songs (but not all) by the Eagles.
I do like some techno, or "House" music, such as DJ Tiesto, but I hate most of the Happy hardcore junk... no bueno
How about that super fast, heavy, death-metal stuff??? thats insane! I really dislike that stuff... However, there is no song or band that I know of in particular to point out that makes me cringe |

Meatloaf + Neil Young + Axl Rose in a 3-way dual to the death!
They make my eyes roll so hard I may hurt myself. If they stop making music I don't mind if they go on existing. |

| O I got one to add! Yoko Ono... but I guess you would have to actually make music before you can say that it makes you cringe; she does not make "music" so I guess she doesn't count :xeye: |

I think Yoko does count, she did try to make music, it just was'nt listenable.
Sometimes even formerly huge artists produce musical faeces, i remember cliff richard! how about the frog chorus, i know it was for kid's but it was in the uk singles chart - for weeks - awful! :bawling: |

| Neil young's great - untill he starts singing that is, he writes some dam good tunes though. Suppose i could say the same about Dylan though, glad he's still going - just dont know where to. :D |

| Yoko Ono for sure. I kinda cringe hearing certain Rush songs, but usually block him out and listen more to the brillaint guitars and drum. |
|

Yup id have to agree, the best Rush album i've heard is their first, they went down hill from then on.
Same thing happened to the scorpions, curse of spinal tap eh :bigeyes: |
