A. K. A. Which song do you hate the most?

    Might be “Bohemian Rhapsody”, or “We will Rock You”. Which is odd, because Killer Queen is one of my favorite songs. Same artists can make crap or magic.

    And “Horse With No Name”, because of the godawful pretentious stupid lyrics.

    Of songs that other people like?

    I hate Dust in the Wind, and House of the Rising Sun, and I never need to hear Stairway to Heaven again, I have used up my quota.

    Don’t you want me baby. Bananaphone. Feelings. But actually Don’t you want me baby is the only one that doesn’t stick in my head.

    Tie between that Uncle Kracker song and this one country rock song that I dont know the name or artist of. Starts off with a gut saying “jingle jingaling” or something.

    I don’t just change the station if these come on. Radio just goes off, no more music that day.

      One day I realized I had been hearing it at least hourly on the radio while driving delivery and some switch in my head flipped. Can’t stand it. I want to never hear it again. I’ve heard Black Hole Sun more times in my life than I want to and that amount needs to stop getting higher

    Sweet Home Alabama

    When I still listened to the radio in the car, it started on one station, so I switched to another rock station. It was playing there too, on a different part. Switched to yet another rock station and it was also playing that terrible song!

      My biggest beef with Sweet Home Alabama is, if people are ever singing along with it, or if they’re singing it at karaoke. I should mention that I live in the South, so these people singing it are from the South, and even though the song itself isn’t racist, the way these people emphasize certain lyrics, it sure sounds like they want it to be racist.

      The whole thing makes me uncomfortable.

        It is absolutely a racist song. It’s a “response” to Southern Man by Neil Young (great song btw)

      God the “Watergate does not bother me… does your conscience bother you?” line alone puts this up there for me, and that’s far from the only thing to dislike.

    Shake it Off by Taylor Swift.

    When it came out, I was a regular gym-goer. I would spend an hour and a half at the gym three days a week and hear that song at least three times every single time I was there. And then you’d hear it anywhere else that played music as well, like stores. It was just too much.

    Gonna go against the grain here with something classical: Pachabel’s Canon in D. I liked it when I was a kid, for at least the first 10 or 20 times I heard it, but since then I’ve probably heard it thousands of times, and I’m not even a strings player. I’m not exaggerating either; it’s in so many commercials, weddings, movies, just over loudspeakers in the grocery store… ugh it’s inescapable. Pretty the first few times, sure, but it’s so aggressively bland.

      Oh good. There’s someone else who doesn’t see the appeal of U2.

      And you just don’t like Elevator because you missed the expertly hidden, subtle innuendos. 😂

      Carol of the Bells kicks ass.

      Tell you what I can’t stand, is The Obligatory Christmas Release. Some musical act, band or increasingly a solo “artist” gets big and especially if they have one brand-defining hit, they are required to do a Christmas release that is the thing they’re known for with sleigh bells and a word salad of Christmas words including a refrain where they just shout “It’s Christmas!!!” Los Del Rio did a Macarena Christmas mix. And we allowed society to continue anyway.
