Songs That Suck

I also wanted to add... "The Reason" by Hoobastank... not because it's necessarily one of the worst songs ever recorded, like many of the above-mentioned songs (though it's not exactly brilliant by any stretch)... but because it irritates me every time I hear it and think about how many asshole losers have probably played this song for their girlfriends to try and get out of whatever stupid thing they've done most recently, and maybe as a result even been forgiven for it.

basically, given enough posts and peoples opinions...every song ever created will fall under this topic
whateva
for my 2 cents...i hate everything eminem has ever created, I hate taylor hicks from american idol season 5, i hate reuben, from american idol season 2, I hate clay aiken and his stupid i wish i was invisible song about stalking people, i hate rihannas pon de replay but i liek her other music
I hate nickelbacks photograph more than anything in the world. I also hate that stupid nelly "over and over again" song when he tried to go country. I wanted to rip the radio out.

In general, I am not crazy about any song that relies so heavily on a sample and Eminem is one of the guiltiest out of all the hip-hop and rap artists, and lately, he's been doing this song after song..."Mockingbird", "Like Toy Soldiers", even "Stan". Many hip-hop/rap artists are guilty of this as well but in particular, Eminem gets the most praise thrown on him, and I just don't understand that, when the tunes are pitiful and his voice is weak. An Oscar for Best Song?! Over U2? Give me a break!!!! Many people tell me I would understand Eminem more if I watched "8 Mile" but judging on terrible songs only, he is it for me.
Anything by Celine Dion. I think I figured out what is so annoying about her voice - it's a terribly weak voice, but she tries to make it sound strong by being loud and (as in my above post) she just tries to put too many notes in there. More icing than cake. My quote regarding her particular style, and many like it: "Just because a piano has 88 keys, that does not mean you have to use every single one of them in every single phrase."jonadkins said:
Here in the islands we have a horrible genre called Jawaiian. It sprang from nowhere a few years ago. Take a generic reggae beat, add someone with a pidgin accent singing a ripped off pop song to it and there you go. Today in the store, I heard the Jawaiian version of Islands in the Stream. I died laughing but kept it all on the inside. This stuff plays on most of the radio stations and in most public places.

Im pretty shocked by the person who said celine dion has a weak voice? are you kidding?
Wth do you consider strong? If she had a weak voice im pretty sure she wouldnt have been so successful, especially in her genre of music

Being able to sing loudly is NOT the hallmark of a strong voice. Nor is a wide tessitura an indication of a skilled voice. Nor is ability to use murderous melisma an indication of talent. Generally, if a singer needs a gimmick, I consider the voice to be weak.hottxboi16 said:
Just a few that seem weak to me: Celine Dion, Olivia Newton-John, Cher (although she's a pretty damned good entertainer), Sade, Jane Siberry, Debbie Harry (although I like her), Sarah Brightman, Enya...
And a few that seem considerably stronger to me: Bonnie Raitt, Jewel, Wynona Judd, k. d. lang, Tina Turner, Shania Twain, Jessye Norman, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey (although the last two are like fingernails on a chalkboard)
I have to agree with so much that has been listed:
James Blunt is a shrieking harpy.
Lionel Richie: Say You, Say Me - how many times can one person write the same god damned song? (see: Collins, Phil)
Styx: Mr. Roboto anyone?
Nickelback: What about that nauseating "Hero" song from the Spiderman soundtrack?
LFO: "Summer Girls" -- the most wretched 3:42 ever captured on audio
"The Reason" by Hoobastank - AAAAAAARRGHHH!!!!
Macarena, Who Let the Dogs Out, Eminem ... yes, yes, yes, please make it all stop!!!!

I could blow my lunch, breakfast, and last night's dinner if I hear what Madonna has done to Don McLean's "American Pie". Could someone rape a great piece of music even more? Not only this shitty elecronic background howling, she ripped the heart of the piece out by covering the three-minutes-edition. I have the 8:30 on a cassette, and it sounds just marvelous. Has a very deep sense, too, and it takes twice to discover that. But the cover version is just trash. Crash it!

they used to be actually a decent band, this seems like filler from their other albums, too simple, and it is a copy of Tom Petty. too laid back for an album opener, and why would you make the first song on a 28 track album be the first single, too much to take in at once that way
