Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
So far only a couple of dislikes are exclusive. For the rest, someone also likes the song that someone dislikes.

My hate list in no particular order:
- America: "A Horse with No Name"
- Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond: "You Don't Bring Me Flowers"
- Barbra Streisand: "Love Theme From A Star Is Born (Evergreen)"
- Barbra Streisand: "The Way We Were"
- Debby Boone: "You Light Up My Life"
- Eric Clapton: "I Shot the Sheriff"
- Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams: "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late"
- LaBelle: "Lady Marmalade"
- Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr.: "You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show)"
- Thelma Houston: "Don't Leave Me This Way"
Well clearly, this was bound to happen. After all, You Light Up My Life is on my worst song list, yet it was #1 longer than any other 70s song. So my opinion doesn't agree with a large group of teen girls, soccer moms, and "sensitive" men. But I've been clear about not being into pop music (not the song).

Interestingly,
are nowhere to be found on Madison's list. The American Pie one surprises me the most. Maybe it's one of those "played too much" songs.

So .... a thread on Reddit is doing the same thing (with a lot more people than we are). Here is their bottom of the barrel for 70s chart-toppers.

I see that the Debby Boone song escaped the bottom of their barrel. Also, several of these are at the top of Madison's list.

Some even made your list. We all are guilty of liking songs other people consider crap.
That Madness, almost taking the similar concept of this game.
Instead it's a last song standing thread. That game would probably take forever.
I haven't gotten around ranking my list yet. I will try post it by this weekend.
Oh great That's funny
I think I should be allowed to re-live my life then
IRBS, I listed six songs I hate. I want to add a seventh: Lady Marmalade by Labelle. Every time I hear "gitchy gitchy," my skin gets itchy itchy.
They only halfway there (whoa- oh!). See Wolf's post above with the Reddit link.
Pretty sure these were eliminated quickly here, but there they had some legs...
131. The Way We Were - Barbra Streisand
148. Love Theme from A Star Is Born (Evergreen) - Barbra Streisand
153. Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To) - Diana Ross
