Songs you never want to hear again.

[Buddahaid]

SS will show me this was already done in the last century but I DON'T CARE!

Number one on my list is 'Hotel California'.

Number two is 'Rockin' Robin'.

Number three is anything by Maria Carey etc.

[Feuer Frei!]

Songs that are crap.

Yes, that.

NEITHER DO I!.

What were we talking about again?

Number one on my list is 'Hotel California'.
I once described it either a science-fiction horror story or a scathing indictment of the Hollywood lifestyle. Either way...well, you weren't looking for an argument, just giving your opinion. :sunny:

Number three is anything by Maria Carey etc.
I'm with ya on that one. I hate pretty much anything that passes for "pop" music, though I do have some guilty pleasures.

Anything that is in the "country music" genre.
*does not include Jonny Cash
And here I was just listening to Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family, both seminal country acts from the 1920s.

What? You want to hear my own opinion?
I think I hate pretty much that was made after 1980.

[Biggles]

Basically any song I've heard with California in the title. Don't have a grudge against that state, but none of the songs I've heard with that word has been good at all :haha:

[Sailor Steve]

U no like 'California Dreamin' or 'California Girls'?

I grew up hearing 'California here I come'.

or something a little more modern.

Funny, there are songs that I used to love that make me cringe now, and songs that used to make me cringe but I now love.

Funny the older I've gotten the more I appreciate country, but that doesn't apply to most new country. The thing is I love vocals where people actually can sing without pitch correction or 50,000 dubs. I do not like what sounds like some kid whinning to get their way at the grocery store but I'm a musician and see things from that quarter where talent goes beyond looks and dance moves. I don't care much for singers that sound like a dog fight outside the window either but I'll listen to it all at least once.

[CaptainMattJ.]

i dont like country, or almost all pop, and most rap.

of course there are good rap songs, a few decent pop songs, and some good country songs, but most of it just sounds terrible for me.

I hate screamo, and death metal. jazz has its songs, R&B has its songs.

Most are bad or just dont appeal to me. im more in the classic rock, modern rock, alt rock, metal, stuff. like i said, i hate that screamo crap, and the constant yelling and nonsense.

Im a mix. 65% rock (classic, alternative, metal, hard rock), 15% rap/hip-hop, 10% R&B/jazz, 8% techno, and 2% pop.

if i hear baby by justin bieber one more time, i think i might kill myself :dead:

how the hell could a song with one word sung over and over be popular? cause some kid has a soft voice and hasnt quite gotten into puberty. i long for the day when hes thrown out and forgotten. hopefully the next of his kind of musicans is less horrific and more tolerable then him.

[gimpy117]

anything by lady ga-ga

the only people who like her are vapid teenage girls and the LBGT community.

The above two are songs and 'singers' I've managed to never hear the first time. I'm still hoping to keep that record.

Agreed on so many levels... I've grown up on country, do wop, big band swing (Ellington, Torme, Fitzgerald), and classical

That's the reason why we took Chernobyl quite lighthearted, the real catastrophe happened before, and went on, and on. I got tortured with this song for a long time, as it was a big hit. Then, after I thought it would be over, some braindead morons rediscovered it before the millennium - aaarrrgghhh :damn:

Worse is Volksmusik with a damned stupid techno-rythm, like DJ Ötzi...

I didn't find this a bad rule, as some horrible songs came to my mind, but in addition to Steve's songs I would also like to preserve "California über alles". Put the rest of those CA-songs into the trash! :arrgh!:

Men Without Hats - 'The Safety Dance' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjPau5QYtYs

I hate it I hate it I hate it. All copies both audio and video must be burned. I'm embarrassed to even admit I've heard it before.

[Sailor Steve]

I hate it too. I do have to watch the video every once-in-a-while, just for the bouncy blonde. I can turn the sound off.

[frau kaleun]

I'm going with the idea that the thread title refers not so much to songs that you think are crap (and therefore never wanted to hear in the first place) but songs that you may have found tolerable or even liked before you heard them way too many times, or songs that in your opinion are far too mediocre to deserve the ubiquity they somehow achieved.

With that in mind:

1. "Lola" by the Kinks. Just got played WAY too many times IMO, which was a bummer because there are so many far better Kinks songs to choose from.

2. "Small Town" by John Cougar. Yes, we GET it. It was a small town. Move along.

3. Anything by Bob Seger. I grew up on 70s and early 80s FM radio "album rock." Enough said. I never need to hear the name "Bob Seger" again, much less the opening chords of "Night Moves." *shudder*

There are probably more but that's all I can think of right now.

You're correct but it doesn't have to be that exclusive. Seems the eighties bands are the big losers with big hair problems.

I don't care for anything U2 has done past the first three or four albums. It just seem to be a poor copy of their former selves. :shifty:

REM was always boring from the starting gate. Too sterile without any soul in solos and that lame singing style of the ilk. :zzz: Apt name after all.

Rant, rant , rant. Speaking of rants I just got my Charlie Sheen ranting bobble head. :rock:

[frau kaleun]

I actually listen more to R.E.M. now than I did when they were "current." Have quite a bit of their stuff downloaded that I'd never even heard (like complete albums) until digital music made it easy to buy and keep on hand.

And songs like "Orange Crush" and "Losing My Religion" - they belong in that other thread for me, I will never get tired of hearing them.

[Buddahaid]

Bravo! To each our own the things that move us. The world would be very boring otherwise.

I have a co-worker/friend that hates Safety Dance with a passion I actually like to see his disgust when he hears it so if it comes on the radio when we are in the same truck I will turn it up just to annoy him.:haha:I happen to hate the Smurfs so he will get me back by playing the theme song on his I-phone. I dont really like the song Safety Dance either but my pals reaction to it is so funny I can stand it.

There is not really any music that I cant stand to hear honestly if it is something that I dont really like I just ignore it and play something that I enjoy when I get the chance.Most people have a pretty broad spectrum if they are honest and just have certain styles or songs that they dont like out of the bunch.I guess the only song that I really hate is The Smurfs theme song.

'The lion sleeps tonight" awful!

[frau kaleun]

I don't care for anything U2 has done past the first three or four albums. It just seem to be a poor copy of their former selves. :shifty:

Same here. And they were my #1 band for a while, but... eh. The last album I bought and still have complete was Achtung Baby. Since then, I've liked a couple songs here and there which I just bought as single downloads, but nothing very recent.

I once heard Henry Rollins asking what had happened to them, talking about one of their more recent albums... I think he referred to it as "music for people who have lost the will to live." :haha:

That said there are probably people who love it, but to me it's all "meh."

[joea]

Just one word: Beiber :o

The horror. :doh:

Seriously as frau kaleun said even a fave song can get overexposed.

I remember a high school band trip to California sometime in the early 80s. Long bus ride. Silly things teeage boys and girls do. A boombox with loads of cassettes-not only "current" songs but some 70s classics. Two in particular I got heartly sick of, the aforementioned Hotel California and BTOs Taking Car of Business. Even our music teacher, Mr. Kowalenko a pretty hip dude (for a teacher-hell he had a fro and a mustache, kind of like a chunky Epstein from Welcom Back Kotter) got a bit fed up IIRC. :rotfl2:

[Osmium Steele]

Anything by Morrisey/The Smiths

Break My Stride by Billy Wilder (My head is still in recovery from the last time it exploded)

Pretty much anything that passed for 80's Aquanet hair band heavy metal.

Anything sung by a purple dinosaur.

[Highbury]

Just remember, Bieber is Canada's retribution on the US. You didn't think you could drop a nuke like Miley Cyrus on the world without a harsh response did ya? :O::har:

[Ducimus]

Songs you never want to hear again

" Peach's'" , ,by some retarded group called The presidents of the united states of America, or some BS name like that.

My god how i hated that song. I remember i was patching a roof leak and i damn near kicked the work radio off the roof every time that song was played, and it was played ALOT over the local radio.

I'd find a youtube link, but the fact of the matter is, I don't want to hear it again. :O:

[Highbury]

Ducimus, that one was stored in my grey matter and totally forgotten. Now that you have brought it back to the beige matter up front... you are correct. That may be the most awful song ever. Certainly the worst English language "pop" song IMO.

Usually I am ok to just ignore things I don't like, live and let live so to speak. However, the person who wrote that song does deserve alot of methodically inflicted pain.

[HunterICX]

Owl City - Fireflies
as it was played over and over and over again..it even haunted me on TF2 while putting the game servers radio on.
