What was the last thing you heard that you HATED?

Just because it's healthy to vent.

What was the last bit of music you heard that you absolutely abhored? And why?

Mine: Scout Niblett (because, as I mentioned before, she makes the worst music in the world), Simple Plan's "I'd Do Anything" (because it made me ashamed to be a white male) and Celine Dion's duet with Anastasia on a truly ill-advised, fire-dishonoring cover of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long," which simply made me shudder with contempt and made me regret having ears.

Yours?

Whatever the opening track is on "Original Pirate Material"... my flatmate was playing it yesterday... it reminded me all over again why I hated him way back when he was first played, and why my hate has spilt over into the present day. His beats are shit, he sounds like the really crappy guy in the beanie hat there is at every freestyle battle night... he's a cunt.

Thrice was on im my friends car yesterday and i proclaimed "i really fucking hate music like this"

― chaki (chaki), Monday, 3 February 2003 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I tell ya, I heard the "Lady Marmalade" cover from MOULIN ROUGE yesterday. I knew I hated it, I hate all diva music, but listened anyway, because I was at work and someone else wanted to hear it...now I hate the song AND the person who wanted to hear it. Soulless, pandering garbage. And I second "You Shook Me"; bad concept, bad execution.

I heard a snippet of "Your Body Is a Wonderland" and wallowed once again in precious hate. Then I forgot how the song went again.

That new DPZ (Dead Prez under a different name) CD, Turn Off the Radio, particularly the part where they declare that white women are good for sucking dick and nothing else. The revolution will be nonexistent, as usual.

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 3 February 2003 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

What if they'd said white women are good for sucking dick and knitting?

(I'm not really going to submit this, am I?)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Dead Prez are the black Rammstein? Who'da thunk it?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

i think the last thing i bought and hated was codeine "the white birch". my brother buys some fucking awful stuff, though. the libertines is probably the one i hate most.

(Don't get me wrong, he buys some good stuff as well)

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't "get out" enough to really hear much other than the stuff i buy, so i don't typically experiance music that grates me (or, at least hear it long enough to identify who i'm listening to). That said, the last sour encounter i recall was over a year ago with the Pernice Brothers' The World Won't End. Putz-Rock!

― christoff (christoff), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

"now I hate the song AND the person who wanted to hear it. Soulless, pandering garbage."

Damn well said.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Original PileOfShit Material
anything by the Neptunes
anything by Timbaland, esp. if his voice is in the background
anything by Eminem

― Oops (Oops), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:12 (twenty-two years ago)

That Guitar Sunkissed album made me mad. Halfway into the second song and I thought, "It's off to the used bin for you!!!!"

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:15 (twenty-two years ago)

The last two albums I hated: Hot Hot Heat's Make Up the Breakdown (I felt insulted that Pulse assigned it to me) and Karate's Some Boots (they need to break up in the worst way).

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:16 (twenty-two years ago)

KING MISSILE - no idea what the song was, it was at the end of some movie on the TV, so loathesome in every way i wanted to vomit, shoot the TV, drive my enemies before me etc.

― Aaron A., Monday, 3 February 2003 21:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan you are a sick, sick, wonderful mang. Suffice to say that the DPZ record is awful in lots of ways, that moment being the most outstanding

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Avril "I'm With You" Dear Christ, I am sick so sick so very very sick of hearing that Alanis-esque "Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah" part.

― My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I really like that Hot Hot Heat album, actually.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Jay-Z & Beyonce's 'Bonnie & Clyde'
the Blue/Elton John thing
Girls Aloud 'Sound For The Underground'
50 Cent 'In Da Club'

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

oh and the Cheeky Girls of course - rockist alert eh?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

It's weird, "Bandages" sounds very good to me on MTV, but within the context of the album it annoys me greatly. I reviewed the album back in August or September, I think, way before the HHH hype began. I was shocked (and still am) to see so many glowing reviews.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, I hate that Hot Hot Heat album too (but I heard and hated Guitar more recently).

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I've already mentioned this but I've not heard anything really awful since: in the same pop chart I heard The Flaming Lips' horrific "Yoshimi...pt 1" and then David Sneddon's "Stop Living The Lie" which upped the stakes by introducing the concept of a reality-pop star who thinks the Flaming Lips are good.

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

yeh i'd add the recent Lips and Sneddon singles to my list too - i stand by 'Do You Realise' as a great song, but 'Yoshimi' is surely indefensibly awful

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 February 2003 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Coldplay - "In My Place"

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:09 (twenty-two years ago)

i watched "120 minutes" on mtv 2 last night so i'm awash in hatred of the new singer-songwriter crap. and that raveonettes song - i've never, ever heard a more blatant rip off of "midget submarines" before in my life.

also: 50 cent.

― your null fame (yournullfame), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks to VH1 Classic, I've discovered that my reaction to James Taylor videos is to frequently mutter "Fuck you, James Taylor." And when I see Simon & Garfunkel videos I mutter "fuck you, Simon & Garfunkel." I find them both obscenely pompous. But that might because I only like my pompousity with loud drums, guitars and flamboyancy.

Fucked up and lackadaiscal R&B + rap video rarely inspire hate, thanks to the fact that the beats are usually pleasant vapid even if the vocals and visuals peeve me. Alt-rock videos don't piss me off probably because I'm probably more empathetic to emptily angry white guys (having been one!) than playas.

But those '70s folkies...they make me scream "SOMEBODY PLEEEZE INVENT PUNK NOW."

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:35 (twenty-two years ago)

holy shit. If there's a "Midget Submarines" rip on TV (unless its just another Toyota ad) I need to hear this.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Simple Plan's "I'l Do Anything" is indeed ass (though preferable to their previous "I'm Just A Kid" if only because I'll take love-professing pap over whiny pap. But the sight of the guitarists blatantly just spinning around instead of "playing" their instruments is hysterical. As Ken at City Lights (my fave record store) says when referring to mall-punk bands... "male cheerleaders."

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Just about everything in the charts.

― Paul R (paul R), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:46 (twenty-two years ago)

everything I heard in the Gap last week

― Amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, that dead prez album is about as hateful as it gets.

On a more trivial level- Busted, and I used to tolerate Avril Lavigne, but the ILX Avril lovefest has made her insufferable.

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i bought a Cinematic Orchestra single because it was described as "My Bloody Valentine meets Massive Attack" which sounded ace. In fact they meant "My Funny Valentine" and the track sounded like ass.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Shania Twain's "Man I Feel Like A Woman" just came by on the radio. Aaaarrrrrgghhhhh!

― Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

hot hot heat, le tigre, and the last Sigur Ros. the first two i honestly had no idea what they would sound like. the last one i figured i would hate since i hated everything else Sigur Ros put out, but i did it so i can say i listened to it and it wasn't a "hate on principal" thing.

― Tad (llamasfur), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yeah, add in "your body is a wonderland" too -- heard in the drug store. god, it was so bad.

― Tad (llamasfur), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

oh my god, all that new suede and oasis material sucked BIG TIME, didn't it?

and shakira's ballad, too. is she, like, yodeling there?

― Jay K (Jay K), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Lest I drag this into the ground as I did in a recent ILXor-crammed AIM chat, I work in a mailroom where the radio is always on and always, without exception (or dissent allowed), turned to the "lite rock favorites of yesterday and today" station.

Three words: "Walking in Memphis". One more word: Chicago.

Flaming Lips don't sound so bad now, do they?

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I would have to add Good Charlotte to the list. Rarely is something so bad that it actually pisses me off. There music sounds like that generic punk/pop crap that you here in the background of skater video games. Yuck!!!!!!

― William R Henderson (Cabin Essence), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 02:05 (twenty-two years ago)

"Baby, Let's Rock!" on that Zwan album thing. If you want to talk insipid, man, you can't get much lower than that. And on an otherwise good album, too (and by a pretty capable songwriter), which just makes it even worse.

― Stiv (Stiv), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 02:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I sorta like the straightforwardness of that song title, though. It's beyond irony.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 02:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Busted, Avril Lavigne, some old Def Leppard song.

(oh, Anthony ... I'm with you on James Taylor, I'm totally against you on Simon and Garfunkel)

― robin carmody (robin carmody), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 06:06 (twenty-two years ago)

James Taylor isn't as laid back as you think!!

― original bgm, Tuesday, 4 February 2003 06:10 (twenty-two years ago)

The Datsuns.

Unoriginal, ininspired, sub-metal bollocks.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

"ininspired" = insipid + uninspired (so not a typo, honest).

So much for alliteration.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

The Datsons of Montreal, currently the Datson 4 or something are way better than the N.Z. Datsuns. S: "I am the eye"

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Cave In

― mosurock (mosurock), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Smilez and Southstar "Tell Me"

why anyone would want to imitate Fabolous is beyond me

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

i heard a track of the new nick cave album on the radio. and i bloody hated it. i cannot stand cave anymore. i kind of liked him in the 80s when he was en vogue in some circles. now i just can't take his voice and his fucking goth sound anymore.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

the 50 cent remix of "cry me a river"...unspeakably horrible, i switch the station as soon as he starts mumbling over the outro

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

The LL/J.Lo and the Shakira yodel.

― Stuart, Tuesday, 4 February 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I've a feeling it could well be the Datsuns for me too.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 18:31 (twenty-two years ago)

it's ALL a big fucking load of old crap!

― tanya headon, Tuesday, 4 February 2003 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

"Yankee Hotel"-- that Jeff Tweedy sounds just like Ray Davies, a really smarmy(ier) Ray Davies.

The Dixie Chicks.

Tom Waits' new shit.

The Residents' new shit.

― Edd Hurt (delta ed), Friday, 7 February 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I love the last Tom Waits one and I love the last Residents one.... could this mean that I'd like the last Dixie Chicks?

Nah, that ain't gonna happen.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 7 February 2003 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

The last thign I really, physically despised was Richard fucking Ashcroft.

I did quite a good job of explaining why here.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 7 February 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd respect Tom "I'm a Hobo!!" Waits and the "wacky" Residents (truly suspect, horrible, anti-music that is so very aware of its efforts in that direction, I'll give them that) if they got the Dixie Chix to sing on their fuckin' shit. As far as the Residents go, everybody knows the only decent avant-garde rock band to come out of Louisiana is John Fred & His Playboy Band.

― Edd Hurt (delta ed), Friday, 7 February 2003 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yea, I fucking hated hearing Hot HoT Heat, both live and recorded.

― Jonathan Williams (ex machina), Friday, 7 February 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Delius. I think it was part of "Mass for Life," or something like that.

― Rockist Scientist, Friday, 7 February 2003 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

coldplay - 'the scientist' on the pub jukebox last night made me hate life for 5 minutes.

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 7 February 2003 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Wanksta is so godawful. 50 Cent's other song isn't good either, but that goddamn melody from Wanksta is so specifically designed to piss me off.

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Friday, 7 February 2003 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

commercials pimping horrid best-of collections that seem to be all that's on at certain times of day. the one for the Chicago best-of alone makes me want to shove sporks in my eyes. Peter Cetera MUST PAY!!!! :P

that and the horrible, awful, disgusting, disturbing treacly balladeering stylings of Dan Hill's excreble "Sometimes When We Touch" popping up in at least two commercials lately. bleargh! >P

― janni (janni), Friday, 7 February 2003 18:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Really detested a Good Charlotte video I saw.
It's been a while, but I remember being particularly
put out by Linkin Park.

Probably Tatu. It could be Shakira, too. Christina might be a candidate, but she's trying so hard to get attention that she just sorta disappears.

I realize i am a total pariah now. I can live with that.

― Matt Maxwell (Matt M.), Saturday, 8 February 2003 02:11 (twenty-two years ago)

anything by Jimmy Eat World - makes me want to shoot my radio!

― Dave_In_A_Cave, Saturday, 8 February 2003 02:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Just listened to Missy Elliott song "Work It" on the radio. Why do you people like it so much? It's SO STUPID!!!

― Evan (Evan), Saturday, 8 February 2003 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I just saw the video for "Tell Me" by Smilez & Southstar and I feel like spitting up and setting fire to my hair.
