a song I detest

[Bbucko]

Paula Cole's Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?

It's insipid and meaningless, has no melody, and perpetuated the SoftRock idiom 20 years after it should have died an unmourned death.

Yippy Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!! Yippy Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!


Any Christmas music. I fucking hate Christmas music.

Too many retail Christmases.

 

[B_New End]

Evanescence - that song with the lyrics, "wake me up inside"


Ahh fuck it... I hate about half of all radio music, and don't care for the other half. I am a total music snob.

 

[Eva]

I am a total music snob.

And that's hot. :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

 

[B_New End]

And that's hot. :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

You would think so, but really, I thought I had found my soul mate... and then we went on a road trip.....

...and she kept flipping the radio, asking me

Her: "do you like 3-11?"

Me: "Not really"

Her: "Do you like Aerosmith"

Me: "can't stand Aerosmith"

Her: "Do you like Rolling Stones"

Me: "hate every song I have ever heard by them"

So after about 2 days of that... things got tense... and I told her to turn the car around, after going 1000+ miles.

I pop in some trance, or underground hip-hop, and she would steam, (because she couldn't sing along) text friends to call her, so they would call her.... and I would have to turn it down... way down. It was some straight up B.S. It was like we agreed on everything about life and spirituality.... but our music tastes were 180... and that was the end of that.

I like some music more than other. But hate? Nah. Life's too short to waste time hating.

I will admit to being sometimes annoyed by radio, more specifically classic rock radio, burning the same music into my brain over and over and over. There's no process of discovery. The best thing ever about music to me is say buying an album you've been waiting for on the first day it comes out, I'm thinking along the lines of Songs In The Key Of Life or Lynyrd Skynyd Second Helping and rushing home to play it and be totally blown away by how your already high expectations were exceeded.

I mean when Ronnie Van Zant told me to turn it up after the opening licks of Sweet Home Alabama it was like he was reading my mind. I was already there cranking it.

But I've heard these songs so many times now, that there's no anticipation. My mind actually tends to race ahead of the music because it knows what comes next. But I don't hate it.

[B_Swimming Lad]

I fuking hate James Blunt. The words tallentless dick-head spring to mind.

 

[jfrsndvs]

anything from Tim McGraw annoys the hell out of me, he has the voice that makes me appriciate finger nails on the chalkboard.

I HATE country music, but most of all I HATE that piss-ass whiny fuckhead song about "don't take the girl". What kind of fucking cowboy hat wearing pussy writes songs like that?

I grew up in a house where my parents played country music most of my life (in the 70's-80's), but fortunately I'm hard headed enough that it never got to me. MTV kept me on the right track!

 

[mattyacht]

I hate that song, 'You Had a Bad Day'. It annoys me to no end. If anything is sure to put me in a bad mood, it's having to listen to the entirety of this song.

I hear you. It's such a bubblegum overkill.

 

[homelessmandril]

'Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard', by Simon and Garfunkel


......oh what's the point, I admit it, I love it. I LOVE it, goddammit.....

 

[whatireallywant]

Anything by Hall & Oates.

"Girls" by Beastie Boys (it's sexist!!!) - I like their later stuff though and they're now against sexism and will not perform this song in concert anymore - yay!

I got burned out on most of classic rock radio although there are a few songs that are still not burned out. Now classic R&B is a different story. I didn't grow up with that as much, and so I love listening to 70s and 80s funk!

And even when I listen to some of the top 40 or modern rock stations, they play the same songs over and over. I much prefer college and community radio stations where they play indie rock stuff you won't hear anywhere else, plus other genres you don't usually hear on corporate radio...

 

[Qua]

"The Sweet Escape" Gwen Stefani feat. Akon.

The song is such a caustic blend of commercial pop cliches. Hooky groove lines, catchy choruses, big name stars, previous star personas for lyrical themes, obvious everpresent sexual overtones (not offensive, but tiresome) , even the use of a rising star guest to boost both stars' sales and careers. So the record companies can take most of the money :biggrin1: .

 

[Hatched69]

Anything by Avril Lavigne or Sheryl Crow. I'd rather stick an icepick in my ears than hear those voices.

Amen. Likewise here..

 

[patro78]

I fuking hate James Blunt. The words tallentless dick-head spring to mind.

Amen to that! Can't stand the guy: he's so precious. Glad we haven't heard is droning, affected voice for a while on the airwaves. Pray it stays that way. Apparently, endless repetition of "You're beautiful" is a favoured techique used by CIA covert operations to torture terrorist suspects.

In case anyone's wondering if there were vapid songs way back, say before 1955, I present to you: Patti Page singing "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window"!

The lyrics were bad enough but they added barking-on-cue of a trained dog. This song reached #1 in 1953 which says a lot about pop music in those days.

 

[Make'nItLong]

Sound of Music - Julie Andrews. Absolutely hate it.

 

[LargeJohnson]

Anything from U2. I didn't used to mind them so much, but they really are overplayed and overrated.
