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

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.

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

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!

Men Without Hats - 'The Safety Dance'

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 · 07-17-11, 04:16 PM

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.

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.

REM was always boring from the starting gate. Too sterile without any soul in solos and that lame singing style of the ilk.

Apt name after all.

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

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 · 07-17-11, 10:22 PM

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.

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.
