songs you HATE

[powellmacaque]

Wow....where to begin......
Anything by the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, or anyone else disney promotes
Black-Eyed Peas- just about all of their stuff you hear on the radio
Green Day-Boulevard of broken dreams, american idiot, etc.
Blink 182-ANYTHING by them


and just for good measure, can't have a thread like this without him: Pete Wentz

Hey now, to put these bands in the same paragraph as JoBros and Miley is a big injustice, don't ya think?

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

You know, reading through this whole thread made me realize there really isn't any music I genuinely hate.

 

[Blue Moose]

Okay, the really, really bad ones are starting to surface now:

1. "Escape" by Rupert Holmes
2. "Never Been to Me" by Charlene
3. "Shannon" by Henry Gross

C'mon, beat THAT for bad. I dare ya...

 

[The Artist]

Bulevuard of broken dreams by green day. My brother was just here and had to notate the dumms for a student. Grr like listning to it once isn't anough

Nope. They are the Jonas brothers for post-pubescent nitwits instead of pre pubescent ones.

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

First that comes to mind: Most of Journey's famous stuff. Great musicians making lame music.

See I kind of agree and kind of don't. I love Journey, just like I love G'N'R, Def Leppard, POison, Ratt etc. Cheesy to the max, but I like cheesy rock. I can definetly see why many would not like it though

Oh, sorry...didn't want to do the Jonas Brothers and Miley wrong.

But seriously, at least the aformentioned artists started as the talentless twits they are today. Green Day actually had some talent before they sold out to the Man. It's depressing, really. What a slab of rotten meat their last two albums have been.

 

[lousybassplayer]

last two? I gave up on them three minutes into Insomniac. 39/Smooth, Kerplunk and Dookie will always be viable in my record collection, but after that I sort of lost interest. Blink on the other hand never did anything for me

From your list (and IMO, of course), Guns N' Roses is a band in a completely different ballpark. I can't say they made "cheesy" stuff. But anyway, although Def Leppard, Poison and Ratt (add Bon Jovi to the list) are famous mostly because their cheesy stuff, at least I can say that at some point they released something strong enough for me to enjoy. Can't say that about Journey. I mean, you can hear great guitar solos from Neal Schon, Steve Perry is a terrific vocalist, Steve Smith has been considered one of the greatest drummers of all time... but the songs as a whole are extremely bland for my taste.

Well, who knows... Maybe there are some surprises within their catalog (after they decided to abandon their jazz fusion roots) and I haven't been aware of them.

2. "Never Been to Me" by Charlene

You've hit on a truly revolting song with that one, I must say.

 

[pigsonthewing]

Nope. They are the Jonas brothers for post-pubescent nitwits instead of pre pubescent ones.

Personally I like Blink, but if you ever heard their stuff from before they got commercial, it's not all that bad IMO. Dude Ranch was their last not real commercial album, and I think it's great. Green Day...Dookie's pretty much it, aside from a few other songs, not a huge fan, though.

 

[dreadheadbass]

every song our rythm guitarist has ever written...... EVER!!!

 

[mike.b]

"to be with you" mr big.[/Q


i 'flatly' refused to learn this pile of 'corpse pus' in my mates band once.told them that i'd rather kneel in dog poo for a year than gig with this song.suffice to say we never learnt the song and the band never quite looked at me in the same light again.
also...
anything led zep with page and plant in it.
anything by metallica and trhcp.
and all the pretentious radio crap on most stations.rollno:ie robbie williams)

WEll I can see dude ranch being better than their current stuff, but I remember it when it was brandy new, and I was the outspoken hater then too. At the time I was big into punk, and Green day's first 3 were as radio pop punk as I was gonna get. IF I had heard Dude ranch before KErplunk, I might have chosen that. I like real punk, and that wasn't cutting it for me. To each his own though. Growing up is still a fun song to play.

+1

The worst one (that I know of - I don't torture myself by delving into their albums for more egregious examples,) is "Who's Crying Now". (I did, every time it played on the radio.)

However, I got a big kick when "Don't Stop Believing" was used in the Aileen Wournos bio "Monster". That song is the apotheosis of trailer park philosophy. I always think of heavyset girls in white leather boots when I hear that tune.

BTW, my opinion of their music does not spring from the fact that I met several members of the band in its formative stage and that they were a bunch of arrogant snots.

 

[rubato]

Lotta AC/DC hate here I don't quite get...

+1 on Freebird, Sweet Home alabamy and why doesn't someone rip out Barry Manilow's larynx.

BUT - Hands down, the most incredibly annoying song ever written - RADAR LOVE

 

[Trapezius]

Any rap, hip-hop or whatever the un-melodic "music" is called.
That Kid Rock song.
AC/DC. I don't care about hero status, their music is just plain boring.

 

[bassboysam]

This is going to eliminate a lot of songs but I can't stand any I-IV-V progression, with a shuffle rhythm and the bass playing a I-III-V-VI/bVII (you know who they are). I just can't get into it.

Well, I find it less annoying than "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" -their absolute worst hit song IMO- or "Don't Stop Believing", for instance. Maybe because I like Ross Valory's fretless tone on "Who's Cryin' Now".

Now that I mention RV's fretless work and since I'm not a Journey connoisseur (because of my annoyance towards their music), which song is the one they play in this video from 2:07 to 3:00? Of course I can't comment on the song since I haven't heard it before (and it's not complete in the video), but at least I enjoy the fretless bass part. Again, I think that many cool parts can be found on Journey's music. It's the overall quality of their popular songs what I don't like.
