Agreed wholeheartedly. Somtimes it does indeed seem today's country music scene is inseparable from pickup truck advertising campaigns.

Gretchen Wilson's "Politically Incorrect" ranks high on the stupid and annoying list. Talk about appealing to the lowbrow mindset.

Similar to Larry-the-Cablegirl with a 4-piece band backing him/her.

Dragostea Din Tei, also known as Numa Numa. I lost a lot of respect for Europeans when I heard that being played in several clubs as a big dance song earlier this month.

I get off on challenging music - if a song is annoying, I'll listen the hell out of it to find out why. Same with good songs :biggrin1:

See, years ago I used to find this song annoying. I'd be stocking a shelf in the store I worked in, it would come on, and I'd get all punk rock and grumble to myself "man turn this shit off. I can't wait to get home and crank "My War".

I've been revisiting a lot of this stuff - pretty much Lite FM - not only due to nostalgia, but to learn from it. What drove the pop machine when autopilot started kicking in during the 70s.

Then again, for me it's not so much songs that are annoying - it's jingles.

I just wiped a whole paragraph here cuz I started ranting about jingles...

Anything by any of the Banshee Sisters:

Whitney Houston
Amy Grant
Celine Dion
(and most especially) Mariah Carey

Anything by any of the so-called "gay divas."

Anything I've ever heard played in a gay bar.

The "more histrionic than the original" Lady Marmalade cover.

Oh...I almost forgot...... and the original Lady Marmalade as well.

Anything with a whiny male lead or solo singer makes me spew. Same with songs that objectify women. Alanis' "My Humps" made me wet myself when I first saw it. First time I heard the first few notes of her cover of "Crazy" I went ballistic--some songs just need to be left alone!--then I recognized the newness brought to the song by her voice, and the video makes a lot more sesne than Mr Heidi Klum's original.

Give me Barry White's "Never Gonna Give You Up" An unforgettable voice with sexy lyrics...my partner Mike sang it to me at a karaoke bar on a trip a few weeks ago and had me rock hard yet blubbering.

-D
.... I do like Lisa Stansfield's cover esp her strutting down the street in a towel or nothing at all!

Aahh
Ooh, baby
Ooh, baby
Keep on
(My baby)
Keep on doing it
Right on (oh, oh, oh)
Right on doing it
(We get it together)
Baby keep on
(Oh We get it together baby)
Right on
Keep on doing it
(And I'll give you baby)
[All that I get]
Now my baby keep on
(I swear we get it together baby)
Keep on , keep on

Wherever, wherever girl I'll do it
Forever and ever, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll see you through it

I've got to keep you pleased in every way I can
Gonna give you all of me
As much as you can stand
Make love to you right now
That's all I want to do

I know you need it, girl, and you know
I need it, too
'Cause I found what the world is searching for
Here, right here, my dear
I don't have to look no more
And, oh, my babe
I hoped and I prayed for someone
Just like you to make me feel the way you do

Never, never gonna give you up
I'm never, ever gonna stop
Not the way I feel about you
Girl, I just can't live without you

I'm never ever gonna quit,
'Cause quitin' just ain't my schtick
I'm gonna stay right here with you
Do all the things you want me to

Whatever you want, girl, you got it
And whatever you need
I don't want to see you without it

You've given me much more than words could ever say
And oh, my dear, I'll be right here until my dying day
I don't know just how to say all the things I feel
I just know that I love you so and it gives me such a thrill

'Cause I found what this world is searching for
Here, right here, my dear
I don't have to look no more
And all of my days I hoped and I prayed
For someone just like you
To make me feel the way you do

I never, never gonna give you up
I'm never, ever gonna stop
Stop the way I feel about you
Girl I just can't live without you

I'm never ever gonna quit
'Cause quitin' just ain't my schtick
I'm gonna stay right here with you
Do all the things you want me to

Oh I never gonna give you up
I'm never, ever gonna stop
All the things I feel about you girl
I just can't live without you

I'm never ever gonna quit
'Cause quitin' just ain't my schtick
I'm gonna stay right here with you
Do all the things you want me to

Hey DC:

A valid subcategory of your list might be any of Amy Grant's quasi-religious wailings. Possibly even more irritating than the usual fare offered by the Banshees, because we also get 'The Message' with our high pitched vulture caws.

I don't know how it ever came into fashion, but it seems like "the in-crowd" think that the more notes you sing, the better you are. Listen to any episode of American Idol. It's horrible. I always get shot down when I say this, but "my piano has 88 keys on it. That doesn't mean that I feel like I have to use every single one of them in every single phrase of every single tune I play." I've been told that this trend "makes the singer sound more soulful." To me, it sounds like they don't know what note to sing, so they will sing all of them.

We're forgetting the whiney banter of emo groups such as: Bloc Party, Panic at the Disco, Hellogoodbye, etc.
I don't know what "emo" means, and I've never heard of any of these. I guess I should consider myself lucky, huh?

You're a lucky man indeed. You've probably never heard of Emo because you're not an overprivileged, teenage girl who leads people to believe that she thinks the world sucks just so she can get attention.

If I never hear this song again it will be too soon.

You can't make me click :tongue: in ignorance.

I have always been irritated by Carly Simon's You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you. Simply because it obviously was about him, or have I been missing something?

Anything squeaky clean and sugar coated.
