Popular songs you can't stand

I love Pass the Dutchie.

I hate Bon Jovi, music to suck cock to. They were the product of saturation marketing, hyped as bigger than The Beatles to Gen X. Frank Zappa wrote 300 Motels, Bon Jovi wrote 300 Cliches. The worst part, Bon Jovi are in the Rock HOF and Jethro Tull aren't. At least Bon Jovi bought his lip gloss with him when he waited in Howard Stern's limo.

I'll spare myself the imminent rage and play Collective Soul instead.

I agree with you for the most part. I'd never listen to a Bon Jovi song except this one, live with Richie Sambora. Also saw Collective Soul a number of years ago. Fantastic concert.

Long standing pet peeve - the Star Spangled Banner. It's an impossible vocal range for a lot of people and lyrics are increasingly off message as to what the USA should stand for. I'm not the only one who has pointed this out. Entirely different vibe when I hear it now vs. when I was a kid...

What about this version? Jimi was brilliant!

We Are the Champions and most other songs by Queen after A Night at the Opera album.
99 Luftballoons.

This list would be too long.

Another one bites the dust.
Same category. She's a man eater. Hall and Oates.
I actually like 99 Red Baloons.

Could live without hearing this
Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane (Official Music Video) - YouTube

Yep. Hate this one.

 

[Insidious Von]

Songs that create a disconnect, the band is killer but the lyrics are childish. Not being able to write coherent lyrics eventually killed Scott Weiland.

Billy Duffy > Jimmy Page.

Like Elton John, The Cult should have hired a lyricist. Ian Astbury is a fine singer but his lyrics are far beyond insipid. A shame since this is some of Billy Duffy's best guitar work.

Edie Segdwick was Andy Warhol's muse. She didn't have any talent with her acting career failing. She was incredibly gorgeous and she lived fast and hard, the combination of alcohol and prescription drugs did her in. (1943 - 1971)

Ear cancer. I must be getting old because after a lifetime hatred for the Stones, barring a few really good songs, I am starting to kind of like them. Well at least a few of their songs. 19th nervous break down. Jumpin Jack Flash being a couple.

All Tragically Hip songs.....so over-rated

Yes yes and yes…

 

[jcpro]

Anything by Ace of Base, Rick Astley, Rush, Madonna....fuck, the list is endless.

 

[SaturnFan]

Anything by Bruce Springsteen, the master of yelling any song.

The same can be said of Aerosmith.

I can't see how that's possible. Unless you're strictly a fan of Drake, Bieber, Weeknd, Rap Hip hop and dislike Rock & Roll in general.

we are polar opposites when it comes to Stones music...their early stuff was the best....but 19th Nervous Breakdown and JJF..meh

People had their opinions.

Rick is so uplifting, sincere and warm in this song, he seems like an amazing guy

Definitely. Although Satisfaction was released in 1965, so I don't know how early you want to go. Anyway to me it is a monotonous dirge.

 

[Insidious Von]

Holy Fuck!

Current music is so corporate that not even the slightest bit of melody is allowed. Notice how Metallica and Kate Bush stand out, thanks to Stranger Things.

Neil Peart was right when he wrote the lyrics for 2112, destroy music, democracy is not far behind....we have assumed control.
