Songs You Dislike and/or Detest

[BaileyCatts]

OMG ... Barbara Streisand .... I hate Barbara Streisand. Anything she sings. It makes my ears bleed.

 

[cygnus]

The song "Living on a Prayer" has always annoyed me. Right after the line "It doesn't really matter if we make it or not" is the line "Take my hand we'll make it I swear". Why are they trying if it doesn't matter? Admit that it matters- okay?

 

[PeterG]

Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon And Garfunkel

Not just for the whiny vocals, but for the misogynist-lite lyrics which might have very well inspired Coldplay to slam "Fix You" upon us. (Where's the vomit emoticon again??)

 

[quartz]

Are you single? I think we'd get along.

On an unrelated note, the next time I hear Lou Bega's Mambo No. 5, I may slit my wrists.

We can be friends if Kansas is your most favoritest band ever, and a minimum of 75% of your music collection is Prog and Classic Rock. Otherwise I will just tolerate you.

I always took it to mean that they're nobodies and, to everyone but them, it makes no difference if they make it...but together they can. Deep...

I've never heard Hello by Adele.

 

[Kecasyl]

Ha-ha, I too dislike Elton John. I just don't care for his voice. I may be the only person who actually prefers the Ewan MacGregor version of My Song to Eltons version.

I'm kind of shocked that so many people hate Adele! I still love her. Especially Rumor Has It (someone else's most hated song).

You are not alone, I love Ewan's version.

Have you heard of a dessert dish which is often referred to as "ice cream"?

 

[halffull]

Anything by Ann Murray makes me The same with Celine. Not very patriotic of me but they both make me want to

 

[judiz]

Billy, Don't be a Hero, Playgrounds in my Mind, Seasons in the Sun

I have heard OF Hello, I've just never heard it. And I've heard OF rocky road ice cream, I've just never eaten it.

 

[VGThuy]

I have heard OF Hello, I've just never heard it. And I've heard OF rocky road ice cream, I've just never eaten it.

I've listened to half of it then turned it off out of boredom. Haven't heard any of it since, which is easy for me because I don't listen to the radio or the internet version of radio.

 

[Marge_Simpson]

Anything by George Michael, but especially "Everything She Wants"
If the woman is such a user and now she's having his baby, well, he should have used a condom.

that was my favorite song as an 8 year old! I think I need to buy a copy of that album. I can still song every single song. I loved Wham!

 

[jamesy]

Wonderful Christmas Time - worst Christmas song ever. Notice that no one has ever done a cover version?

Thankfully I haven't yet had to hear this abortion of a song this year. Only a few more days to go and I'll be safe again until next year.

I always thought it was about sex

 

[PeterG]

All of Tom Petty's songs. Actually, the songs might be okay...even great. Just let a singer sing them instead of the shrieking-cat writer of the songs "sing" them...

The Waiting

 

[quartz]

Has anyone mentioned Paul Anka's (I think it's him) "Having My Baby"? Cuz that's just awful.
And I can't remember the artist/band who did "Afternoon Delight". Horrors.

 

[Marge_Simpson]

We had some really bad music back in the seventies. 3 words: Kung Foo Fighting

[SHARPIE]

Haven't read the whole thread but Jennifer Rush, "The Power Of Love" makes me think murderous thoughts.

 

[emason]

I might actually like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid or Breakfast at Tiffany's if they came without Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head or Moon River. Blech! Please keep me away from either of those.

Totally agree with Paul Anka's "Having My Baby" - what a piece of "drek" that "song" is!

"Afternoon Delight" - The Starland Vocal Band - IIRC, they won a Grammy as best new artist (band) back then (?). I think they turned out to be a "one hit wonder."

But that doesn't mean it wasn't fun! I admit my musical tastes are not horribly sophisticated, but there are really only two songs that grate... "Love Hurts" by Nazareth -- this as a result of some poor sap way back in my university days who played the song full blast in residence for about a week after getting dumped. The other one is "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton. I remember listening to that on the school bus in the morning and feeling my ears bleed. ooooooooooh! Ouch!

On second thought, I have no use for gang banger rap, and I absolutely despise Eminem. Whenever I hear that kind of music, I can feel my guts tense up and I just get angry. I'd rather have music that doesn't piss me off.

Don't go into Kohl's. That one came on while I was in there, and then some terrible song called "Driving Home for Christmas", I think, because I've only ever heard it at Kohl's, and it's just. so. boring.

No joke! There were some disco songs I enjoyed but then you had "Disco Duck" and the disco version of "I Love Lucy" and more....really awful.

"Driving home for Christmas" by Chris Rea is fab!

Fave ever Christmas Song is "Step Into Christmas" by Elton John though.

Least is, "Walking In The Air" or Tom Jones and Cerys what's her name, "baby it's cold outside" Grrr ... All welsh people ... I don't care!!

 

[PeterG]

What's the song where the guy singing sounds like a frog choking on his vomit? It's that Van Morrison song... Oh wait...all of Van Morrison's songs sound like that...

It sounds like you're too sophisticated for me. Anyway, I don't have much of a music collection anymore. I threw out my CDs and now I just YouTube songs.

I want a divorce.

 

[just tuned in]

"Tonight's the Night" by Rod Steward.

There are grounds for arrest in there.

 

[Marge_Simpson]

I truly don't mind any of the Christmas songs we get bombarded with during December, with one exception: Dominick the Donkey. Worst. Christmas. Song. Ever,
