What Song Do You Most Hate ?

[chrismpw]

So, reading this thread makes me realise that every song ever written is hated by someone.

This is it. Music is such an intensely personality thing. To me, it either catches me for some ineffable reason, or I'm ambivalent. And if I'm ambivalent, I resent the waste of time to my ears and quickly can't stand it.

This was most of the 1980s for me - electronic drumbeats, repetitive meaningless lyrics and synths can get in the bin. Sadly this is the stuff that marketing people love to push onto the radio ... mass produced pap.

Give me a ballad any day. A story about an event or dream, am idea that brings joy or tragedy. Accompany it with a real, rich resonant instrument or engaging soundscape and I'm there.

But it's personal - stuff I like, others don't. I'm not about to say the music I like is better than 80s electronic stuff as there are clearly many fans of that kind of thing.

Well if you don't like Queen, surly you at least like the King of rock 'n roll Al?

Yeah, never that keen on covers and more of a “Holiday in Cambodia” man myself.

(I left the ballad bit in 'cos you mentioned a story, did you follow the story in 'Stan' my Eminem?)

Saw that thread, never dipped in.

That isn't to say I haven't gone through a Vangellis, Tangerine Dream or JM Jarre electronic phase of my own during my teenage years. But the better my hifi got the more I realised what detail I was missing out on with electronic music.

Damn!

Spoiler: Avoid, it's an atrocity!

The Bee Song by Arthur Askey.
He was always on the box in the sixties guesting in some show or other and rubbing shoulders with the likes of The Beatles.
The above song encapsulates Askey's cheeky and insufferable demeanour.

Not sure it's the song I detest the most...but Queen's 'We Will Rock You' is right up there

Back in the 90's you knew you were at a bad wool ground when that came over the tannoy before the teams came out.

The B-52's - Love Shack. Bomb it from the sky

That Cha Cha Slide that used to come on in certain places in the early 00's. Die with everything available to the planet. Crocodiles, Bullets, Aids all of it.

One man's magnum opus is another man's ear canal being violated in the most nastiest way possible.

That's just how it is unfortunately...

Lol... Well, Russell Crowe considers himself to be a talented musician, and has in fact recorded a few albums.

If you've ever wanted a reason to be envious of deaf people...

 

[deipnosophist]

99% of AC/DC's catalogue.

Bon Scott is turning in his grave not very far from you lol

 

[deipnosophist]

Vogue was a good song but other than that, Madonna can jump in the skip
