I HATE this song!

[divemaster]

Hmmm, I don't think I realized there was a forum here for music. How about that.

Anyway, I listen to the Classic Rock station almost exclusively for music (sports talk radio gets the rest of my attention) and there are some songs that I hate so much that I can't turn the radio off fast enough. Not merely "songs I don't like" but songs that cause me to want to kill myself rather than listen to. These are some songs I'd rather drive ice picks into my eardrums than have to listen to all the way through:

1) ANYTHING by Peter Frampton. From everything I've heard, Frampton is sincerely a really nice, all-around good guy. I'd probably love to hang out with him and shoot the breeze. But the classic rock station around here tends to play whatever hits came off his Live album and god damn they are just ear-destroying horrible. And the other problem is, they seem to run 10 minutes long, so I'll switch over to the baseball game and come back 10 minutes later and Frampton is STILL singing about "Feel Like We Do." Argggh, just kill me.

2) I Shot the Sheriff. How did this song ever get airplay?

3) Benny and the Jets. I'm actually a pretty big Elton John fan and like (or really like) a whole bunch of his music. But Benny! Benny! Benny! drives me insane. Just horrible.

4) Band on the Run. Anything by Wings, actually, but this is the worst. No redeeming sonic value whatsoever. Anyone who paid good money to see a Wings concert should have their head examined.


I'm sure I can come up with more. But after hearing 3 of the 4 come on the radio in the last day or so, uh, I just had to vent.

Wondering how long it will take for someone to mention Hotel California lol.

[becca69]

Take Me To Church by Hozier, Some Nights by FUN, and anything by AC/DC

Ah, I LIKE Hotel California! Sure, it's overplayed, but if you listen to a classic rock station long enough, all of the big hits of the 60s, 70s, and 80s are overplayed. But that doesn't mean the song is trash, just that one might get tired of it.

Oh, here's another one from my days of listening to country music exclusively: Islands in the Stream. It's not "country" (regardless of the fact that Rogers and Parton are singing it.), and it's not enjoyable no matter what genre you happen to peg it to. Yuck X 1 million.

anything by AC/DC

[Girlystevedave]

Black Water by the Doobie Brothers. That song makes me cringe any time I hear it.
Also, pretty much anything by The Eagles.
Oh, and Black Betty by Ram Jam.


I hate most newer music, but these are the classic rock songs that come to mind first.

[Tommy]

I hate Molly Hatchet

[stroppygoblin]

Red, Red Wine - UB40. I WILL leave the room if i cant turn it off.

That's funny. I have a coworker, who is annoying, that will leave the room if I play Peanut Butter Jelly Time. I try to play it every time he comes into my office.

[Tommy]

"Baby" (and everything else) by Justin Bieber deserves a place in Hell.

[Tommy]

I also find anything by The Black Eye Peas (after Fergie joined) to be repellent. "You Don't Know Your Beautiful" by One Direction. Anything by Nicki Minaj. "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jempsen. Ke$ha makes me ill.
Iggy Azaelia =
Blurred Lines =
Nickelback = = Me

[Joe315]

Drake - "Started from the bottom"

I not a fan of rap in general but can tolerate most of it. Drake makes me want to rip my ears off. He is a horrible rapper.

[Mattrick]

Turn Down for What and I'm In Love With The Coco. Just...those artists should like get their hands chopped off and their tongues ripped out so they can't do anything music ever again.

I could never stand Bread: particularly "Baby I'm a Want You." --You're a what? Shut up! Ha ha!

When I was 15 a slightly older friend bought a car with an 8-track player. He played The Best Of Bread constantly.

It was just something I had to deal with if I wanted a ride.

edit: In California you had to be 16 to get a driver's license so it was him or walk.

Any song from Grease....and Time Warp. Oh, how I hate thee Time Warp!

. . . but it's just a jump to the left.

...and then a step to the right

[Mattrick]

I'M CRANKING DYLAN

[Br!an]

Not hating Dylan or The Time Warp... I like them both.


With your hands on your hips. (Mr. Tambourine Man)
You bring your knees in tight. (Knockin' on Heaven's Door)
But it's the pelvic thrust (Like a Rolling Stone)
They really drive you insane. (Masters of War)
Let's do the Time Warp again. (All Along The Watchtower)

[Mattrick]

I think a lot of the more popular Led Zeppelin is overrated, Led Zeppelin 4 in particular (though Going To California is my favourite song). I prefer a lot of their softer stuff like Tangerine, That's The Way and Night Flight. I was supposed to see Robert Plant in July but the concert was delayed until September because he was sick. Early Zeppelin is okay, but mostly only listen to their middle albums, especially Physical Grafitti.

Pretty much all country music makes me want to pour cement into my ears.

All country music with the exception of Johnny Cash.*

[killjoy72]

Anything by Hank Williams III drives me up the wall. And I've got TWO coworkers here who love him. Kill me.

[Jon]

Anything Bon Jovi.

Hey! They mixed metal with pop!!! The bastards!!


"I have an idea, Jon...We'll mix metal with pop and you sing all the verses like you are extremely constipated, ok?"
