Most Hated Songs

[sadchild]

Dolly Parton's original is a nice lullaby, then Whitney turned it into a fire alarm.

While I prefer the Whitney version, this made me actually laugh aloud. I can't argue!

Paul McCartney - Ebony & Ivory, The Girl is Mine

I definitely dislike "The Girl Is Mine". I have a love/hate with "Ebony & Ivory", mostly hate, but something in me wants to like some aspects of it.

The Replacements. Many people love them, I don't get it.

I like 'em. Not love, but like. And I like Paul's first two solo albums as well. And his two solo singles on the Singles soundtrack - those are my fav Westerberg tracks.

However, for every song the Replacements make that I like, they make 10 I couldn't care less about.

OTR&R made several people's lists. It is overplayed and cheesy, but Seger earned the right to make a song like that, and it's a nice sentiment.

Ironically, he did not write this particular song. He changed it to record it but chose not to add his name to the credits for those changes. He has said that was his single biggest mistake in his music career. I like the song myself. It will be along on my **** list when we get to the Os. Fair warning to all.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin"

I actually like that one. It sounds like it was something they wrote before they decided that wearing makeup was a good idea.

And from here to eternity.

and in perpetuity.

Henry Hadaway "Chicken Dance"

Someone took credit for that?
And Fauci gets death threats?

Ex-girlfriend used to try and get me to go up and dance to this. No effing way. Same with Electric Slide.

That explains the "Ex" part of it.

Ween "Push Th' Little Daisies"

I like it. Not just because it's about nipples, but because I take it as a stupid comedy song. I'm sure that's not their intent though, and I didn't like it at first.

I thought you were a fan of his more recent stuff

He's had a few that I kind of like, but nothing that I can think of.

Great list, that's a lot of non-specific hate.

Same reason I like it. "Heaven" "Sometimes She Cries" and "I Saw Red" do nothing for me. But this one rocks and has a good story.

and in perpetuity.

Three solid laughs in a row =)

Wowserz! I'm with you on NSync, Maroon and the Beibs but the rest I can find at least a song or two I don't mind. Not criticizing, just surprised!

Fleetwood Mac - almost everything from Rumors

This surprises me too. Unless it's just being sick of it because it's overplayed.

 

[Aaron]

Nobody even mentions Nickelback, because it goes without saying.

(Sorry, Wolf)

 

[sadchild]

He has said that was his single biggest mistake in his music career.

Wow! Interesting. I hadn't heard that one. But I did read once the band was goofing on the song while rehearsing and recording it because they thought it was stupid.

 

[sadchild]

Since my biggest hated/lobster songs have already been posted, I'll drop the rest of them in six-packs:

Bryan Adams "Please Forgive Me"

Wuss....

Captain And Tennille "Muskrat Love"

No explanation needed here, right?

Coldplay "Yellow" [LOBSTER SONG]

And every song since, actually.

Double "The Captain Of Her Heart" [LOBSTER SONG]

Can't explain it, I've just detested it from MY first listen.

Eddie Murphy "Put Your Mouth On Me"

Worst song about a BJ ever.

Eiffel 65 "Blue" [WAS A LOBSTER SONG, BUT I THINK PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS HAVE REALIZED IT SUCKS]

"Yo, listen up, here's the story" *click* No...

 

[Jon]

I'll just leave this here.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I will always love Hugh.

IMHO, Rumors is overrated. Sorry to break the Ocean Spray guy's vibe.

BTW, Nickelback *has* at least one good song:

Yet another viral video that I watched and thought, WTF is the big deal. People are weird.

Nickelback *has* at least one good son

Wow. Or they have the same bad song... in triplicate.

I think I said it somewhere else, but after years of hating pretty much everything they've ever done, they dropped a couple songs in 2017 that I liked: "Feed The Machine" and "Betrayal Part 3".

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

BTW, Nickelback *has* at least one good song:

Ummmm, no.

 

[HecticArt]

(Sorry, Wolf)

Awwwww. You went and said it......

 

[Channel98]

I present this for your amazement and amusement:

Wondering how old you were when it came out.

 

[kingchuck69]

Wondering how old you were when it came out

I was not born yet.

 

[scotchandcigar]

I was not born yet.

There's a tendency (like IRBS has with the Beatles) to normalize music that seems to have been out there forever, and not consider that it was groundbreaking when released.

 

[HecticArt]

And sometimes you just don’t like stuff.

I really liked Rumors back in the day, but it just isn’t very exciting to me lately. I don’t hate it like some stuff that’s been overplayed though. We’ve just drifted apart. It’s really not because of them, it’s me. I know they will find someone else who loves them and deserves to be with them some day.
