Patsy Cline - Crazy

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

Yeah "Brown Eyed Girl" too, esp as the Isley Bros have a 10000x better song w/the same title

― Schwip Schwap (schwip schwap), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

Donald Fagen's "I.G.Y.", apparently.

― Deric W. Haircare (Deric W. Haircare), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

Black Betty

― Baaderonixxxorzh (Fabfunk), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

"The Day the Music Died (American Pie)" by Don Mc-fuckin' Clean.

Anything/everything by Destiny's Child and/or Beyonce.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

"She Don't Use Jelly" by Flaming Lips --- who, as a band, I've actually come to quite like, but that song makes me want to rip out all my hair and kill every fifth person I pass on the street.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:48 (twenty years ago)

Pogues - Fairytale of New York

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

Missy Elliot singles a'plenty. I hate that I'm the only person I ever see cringing at her Fred-Durst-with-meatflaps "rhymes".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

"Yeah" by Usher

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

"fairytale of new york" - OTM! - made even more detestable by the thought that it's going to unavoidably come back, every fucking christmas, until i die. still, at least i now know i'm not alone in my loathing.

― bg (creamolafoam), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

Sisqo "Thong Song".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

Toxic.

Possibly the worst collection of queasy, attention grabbing, plain ugly sounds I've ever heard in the top 40 wrapped around an actually not-bad tune. If this is the point 'Toxic' geddit? then I missed it for a long time.

― bleh, Monday, 18 April 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

"fairytale of new york"

You have no heart.

― bleh, Monday, 18 April 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

i am the grinch, i admit.

― bg (creamolafoam), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

The only reason "Fairytale of New York" bugs me is that the Pogues had SO MANY FAR SUPERIOR SONGS, yet that's the only thing anyone every plays by them. It's their "Whip It", y'know?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

My third choice would definately be "Brown Eyed Girl"! I loathe it so much it's was erased from memory till this thread.

― ZionTrain, Monday, 18 April 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

Nick yr not alone on Missy, can't help w/Sisqo tho soz

― Schwip Schwap (schwip schwap), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

The Killers, "Mr. Brightside" (People who despise "Somebody Told Me" seem to like this one; in my opinion this is the wrong way around).
-- j.lu (jlut...), April 18th, 2005.

i can't believe that because as soon as i saw the thread title, 'somebody told me' popped straight to mind.

― piscesboy, Monday, 18 April 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

"river deep, mountain high"
anything by franz ferdinand

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

If you don't like "River Deep Mountain High" yr a sick fuck

― Schwip Schwap (schwip schwap), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

'hey 19'

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

I hate "Somebody Told Me" soooooooo much.

― Open your eyes; you can fly! (ex machina), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:08 (twenty years ago)

"Uncle John's Band", "Fire on the Mountain", "Franklin's Tower" and pretty much any reasonably well-known track by the Grateful Dead. I didn't really have anything against the Grateful Dead (apart from being smelly hippies) until I got to college, where they seemed to be de rigeur listening by tobacco-chewin' frat schmucks in BMW's. As such, this music became inescapable and synonymous with idiotic dingbattery of a most vile kind. These type of guys (the same ones who champion DMB today) made the hippies look respectable.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

I thought I was the only one that hated "Yeah" (Alex in NY beat me to it...)
In that case, I'll go for "Get Low"

― paulhw (paulhw), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

"Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"

I've hated that song since I was a little kid.

― earlnash, Monday, 18 April 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

Brown Eyed Girl and Mustang Sally.

dl, you must have missed recentish threads where both of these were rounded upon. In particular, I don't think a single person could be found to stick up for Mustang Sally. I like Brown Eyed Girl myself.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

hey alex, there are LOTS of dead haters -- here and IRL.

and "river deep, mountain high" = the BIGGEST instance of "so the fuck WHAT?!?" EVAH.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:18 (twenty years ago)

"Bohemian Rhapsody" Queen

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:18 (twenty years ago)

Wait a minute - you can't have missed it, dog latin - it was your thread.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:19 (twenty years ago)

I heard "It's My Turn" by Diana fuckin' Ross while attempting to shop for blue jeans yesterday...AND HAD TO LEAVE THE STORE AT ONCE TO GET AWAY FROM IT

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:19 (twenty years ago)

Every recent cover version by a German techno or house act. Though loathing may be a little too harsh.

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

Vitalic's 'Riders On A Storm' is ace tho

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

What point was "RDMH" making so stridently, Eisbar? "I AM A SONG!"?

― Schwip Schwap (schwip schwap), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

"I FEATURE LYRICS OF LOVE PUNY LISTENERS"

― Schwip Schwap (schwip schwap), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:21 (twenty years ago)

'Mustang Sally' does not offend me.

― $V£N! (blueski), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:21 (twenty years ago)

I heard a version of "Strawberry Letter 23" (one of my absolute favorite songs ever written, bar none) done by ROD STOMACH-PUMPING STEWART at the grocery store on Saturday. Every thing about it was so wrong. I'm sure other people would hate it too, had they heard it, so I guess this has no place here, but Jesus fucking Christ, I've never heard such a good song so ruined.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:22 (twenty years ago)

"Hunted By A Freak."

― Organized Crime (Leee), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

"RDMH" reminds me of that classic Horace quote: "Mountains will go into labour, and a silly little mouse will be born."

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:24 (twenty years ago)

"maggie may," "you wear it well," or any of rod stewart's other "good" songs -- he only got GOOD when he went disco and started getting his cock sucked by disco dollies.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:25 (twenty years ago)

I am steeling reeling from nickalicious's description of Missy Elliott as 'Fred Durst with meatflaps'. wtf?

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 18 April 2005 15:25 (twenty years ago)

Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf (this song makes me want to stick a fork in my stomach)
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - Dylan
Dude Looks Like a Lady - Aerosmith (cringing as I type)
Cheeseburger In Paradise - Jimmy Buffet

― Marc B, Monday, 18 April 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

Pink Moon - Nick Drake

― latebloomer: strawman knockdowner (latebloomer), Monday, 18 April 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

How can anyone feel alone in loathing Aerosmith, Meatloaf, and Jimmy Buffett?

― Ian Riese-Moraine. To Hell with you and your gradual evolution! (Eastern Mantra), Monday, 18 April 2005 19:53 (twenty years ago)

hatred with qualifiers thread turning into just plain hatred thread total non shockah.

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Monday, 18 April 2005 19:54 (twenty years ago)

Percy Sledge's "When A Man Loves A Woman". I don't know what it is aboot this song, but it's total "nails on a blackboard" to me.

― Vic Funk, Monday, 18 April 2005 19:56 (twenty years ago)

"Wonderwall"?? that "Lady Marmalade" remake?? I know TONS of people that hate those songs!! YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH!!

I vote for "Stop in the Name of Love"

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Monday, 18 April 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

Madonna - "Like a Prayer"

In fact I don't like anything Madonna heas released since that album. And I don't like any Depeche Mode since Violator.

― daavid (daavid), Monday, 18 April 2005 21:52 (twenty years ago)

I'll go along with "Like a Prayer" -- it's hailed as someone huge artistic breakthrough, but the lyrics are pathetic, the video embarassing and the whole operation is lamentable.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 18 April 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

Led Zeppelin - "Black Dog"
The Beatles - "A day in the life"

― daavid (daavid), Monday, 18 April 2005 22:00 (twenty years ago)

"Hey Ya"

I actually don't know why I don't like this.

― Aja (aja), Monday, 18 April 2005 22:08 (twenty years ago)

b/c you don't like rap?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 18 April 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

"Hey Ya" is less rap than most rap :-)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 18 April 2005 22:28 (twenty years ago)

geir, i am POSITIVE that you could fill this thread w/ songs that YOU dislike that everyone else likes.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 18 April 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

Eisbar, you're right about my not liking rap, but Geir is also right. So, I'm "back to square one".

Ha- Killing Joke lyric!

― Aja (aja), Monday, 18 April 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

geir, i am POSITIVE that you could fill this thread w/ songs that YOU dislike that everyone else likes.

On ILM, yes. There's a lot of really hostile hatred towards anything rap and anything contemporary R&B out there though. Some of it downright rascist, some of it purely musically based.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 18 April 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

No Doubt - pretty much anything by them, and another vote for "American Pie"

― krimur (louizah), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

Waitin' For a Superman
The Kinks - "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman." In fact, pretty much anything off that album.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

i'll meet your No Doubt and raise you one "Rich Girl" by Gwen.

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

Madonna - "Cherish"

I absolutely detest this song.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

even the Loop Guru cover?

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Madonna - "Crazy for You". Can't stand it. Which is weird because the number of Madonna singles I don't like can probably be counted on one hand.

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

Snoop "Drop it like its hot"

Come hate with me!

― tipustiger, Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

Madonna - "Crazy for You". Can't stand it. Which is weird because the number of Madonna singles I don't like can probably be counted on one hand.

Ugh. Seconded. What a saccharine dollop of crap.

FWIW, I think "Hey Ya" fuckin' ROXOROX!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 22:45 (twenty years ago)

i pretty much loathe anything by Lauryn Hill, Beck, No Doubt

to a lesser degree - The Love Below/Speakerboxx album, Broken Social Scene, and TV on the Radio

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 23:11 (twenty years ago)

Make sure you loathe these songs please, meaning like, they would make your worst 100 songs ever list. I feel like some people are just putting songs that they personally think are overrated.

― billstevejim, Wednesday, 20 April 2005 00:30 (twenty years ago)

all beck still makes the list

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 00:36 (twenty years ago)

i have never liked "come together" by the beatles. no problem with them otherwise, but that song. gruh.

― joseph (joseph), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 01:38 (twenty years ago)

g love and special sauce

sade lovers rock

the other day i was thinking about how sade sounds so good on the smooth jazz radio format, and how almost everybody i have ever known likes sade and yet badmouths smooth jazz/ 'elevator music'

i think i really hate citizen cope even though i've never heard him (?) or have any idea what kind of music it is. but i imagine it's like that everlast song. but even if it's not, i think i still hate it

i don't like ben harper

― oh god i'm in my 30's (ronny longjohns), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 02:01 (twenty years ago)

Pretty sure I'm one of the very few who hates "Sexual Healing".

(Maybe "hates" is too extreme - if it weren't way-overplayed I'd merely "dislike" it. Tho still quite a bit.)

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 02:21 (twenty years ago)

Hey, Mickey.

― Zed Szetlian (Finn MacCool), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 02:27 (twenty years ago)

alone in loathing? I am not sure about that, but the Kinks' "Celluloid Heroes" and their "Jukebox Music" make my skin crawl. And I generally like the Kinks.

"Angie" by the Stones.

"Dreamer" by Supertramp gives me the willies.

And of course, "My Life" by Billy Joel. But these seem like obvious and somewhat widespread if not universal choices, to me anyway.

I love Lee Dorsey, immoderately, but the use of "Working in the Coalmine" by Wal-Mart with their fucking mutant smiley roll-back-the-price faces has queered that one for me, I am pained to say.

― edd s hurt (ddduncan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Katrina and the Waves, Walking on Sunshine

it makes me very cranky.

― Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

Wow, I agree with a lot of these -- American Pie, Anarchy in the UK, Should I Stay or Should I Go, Brown Eyed Girl, etc. And to think people feel alone in their hatred.

Others I'd add:

Anything by The Smiths.
Anything by 50 Cent other than In Da Club.

― Hurting (Hurting), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 02:50 (twenty years ago)

Katrina and the Waves, Walking on Sunshine
Really can't stand it either. In fact, the only way I can take that group is second-hand, through the Bangles cover of "Going Down To Liverpool."

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 11:33 (twenty years ago)

g love and special sauce

Hahahaha way to aim high there!

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

All the songs where Pharrel sings.

― Hurting (Hurting), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:42 (twenty years ago)

i'm telling you dan, lots of my friends were into it and it was distressing but now i don't feel alone anymore!

― ronny longjohns (ronny longjohns), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 14:03 (twenty years ago)

The only song I don't like on Catherine Wheel's Chrome is "Pain" because it sounds like a damn football anthem. I can see clips of quarterbacks being sacked in my head when I play it.

― Ian Riese-Moraine. To Hell with you and your gradual evolution! (Eastern Mantra), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

Mellow Gold, apparently!

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

Everything Jennifer Lopez has ever done. I loathe it. Every last little note.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

Basement Jaxx - "Good Luck"
Playgroup - "Number One"

Bombastic soul cliches with clumsy, tin-eared choruses. Both are must-skip first tracks on albums that have some good stuff by artists I usually like but feel alone in not worshipping.

― Curt (cgould), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

xpost: you honestly think you're alone in this regard???

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 18:51 (twenty years ago)

I think I'm alone now. There doesn't seem to be anyone around.

I absolutely detest "Slow Motion". You know the one. It makes me involuntarily cringe...everyone else loves it though.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 19:14 (twenty years ago)

"Baby Got Back" is one of the most sonically offensive things I've ever heard passed off as pop music. "Sexual Healing" is right behind it.

And before anyone throws "you hate black people singing about sex" at me, I think "Rumpshaker" and "Let's Get It On" are both phenomenal.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 19:18 (twenty years ago)

Basement Jaxx, Red Alert. dreadful

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 19:43 (twenty years ago)

xpost: you honestly think you're alone in this regard???

Maybe I'm not alone re: loathing Jennifer Lopez, but I don't see NEARLY as much frothing hatred for her as -- to my mind -- there should be.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 23:57 (twenty years ago)

I'd like to second the Animals "House Of The Rising Sun".

― The Silent Disco of Glastonbury (Bimble...), Thursday, 21 April 2005 02:51 (twenty years ago)

"Groove is in the heart"

I cannot explain why i hate it so much; I have no fucking clue why anyone would like it.

― lundy fastnet irish sea (cis), Thursday, 21 April 2005 05:16 (twenty years ago)

-- Alex in NYC (vassife...), April 21st, 2005.

That's because I just threw up my hands a long time ago.
