A. K. A. Which song do you hate the most?
You must log in or register to comment.
“Last Christmas”, any version
Pour Some Sugar On Me. It’s so terrible.
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.
Wild World, by Cat Stevens. Some of the most patronizing lyrics I’ve ever heard. https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/catstevens/wildworld.html
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.
Wagon Wheel
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.
That Mariah Carey one. You know the one.
She has so many good contenders, but one stands above them all. Good (horrible!) choice.
I was struggling to think of something I truly hate
I was coming up with a lot of bad tracks, sure, but they don’t really inspire hatered
This one however, viscerally upsetting from the first bar
I found this version to be much more tolerable: https://youtube.com/watch?v=oY9O-WbMxO0

Take me to church by Hozier

Thats such an amazing song!
I think there’s so many Hozier songs that are better, but I agree, I don’t think it’s bad by any stretch. Maybe just a tad overplayed? Can see how people would hate it for that.
Black Hole Sun.
It’s a tedious, grating and ridiculously repetitive dirge.
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
Only partly related, I invented a fire eating trick named the Black Hole Sun :)
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.
Have you seen Pachebel Rant?
Haha I have, at least if I’m thinking of the right thing, the YouTube video? He stretches a few (my degrees are in music theory so I can hear what he means and not all of them are exactly the same chord progressions) but I feel seen nonetheless.
Yeah, Rob Paravonian.
I didn’t have a solid answer to the question until I read this. Absolutely gets the worst response from me.
First two chords and I’m like “nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”
I could have sworn a friend of mine wrote this, because he often said the exact same thing. But, he was a string player.
Personally, it seems like I can’t go a day without hearing one of The Four Seasons in media.
Yeah, I feel for the string players, honestly. Especially the ones who take wedding gigs.
The cello has to repeat the exact same 8 notes throughout the piece.

U2
Aerosmith - love in an elevator
Any christmas shit
Old U2 is actually pretty decent, I quite like The Unforgettable Fire
Ill take your word, cuz I aint fucking listening to it
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.

Radio Ga Ga by Queen.
I had to listen to that shit played on loop for a week straight when the cruise ship I was working on chose it to be used to constantly stress test the PA system. Any time I hear it now, I get extremely angry and want to break something.
Sure that was a job and not a psychology experiment you were subjected to?
