Yup, Mr Big's Just Take My Heart.  So mushy it's like he's cooking up some spaghetti.  Eewww.

^ It was the perfect 70s pop tune because the lyric was just trippy enough to appeal to ersatz hippies and fledgling New-Agers without being too obtuse and weird.   At least that's the excuse I've invented for it.

As someone said too many to mention.....but one I always change channels on is 'Dream Weaver' by Gary Wright....for some unknown reason FM stations in the US always play this stinker.

David, Abba? You need to spread your wings more.



Feel free to hate, of course, but I dig it.

I couldn't really think of anything until I saw this.  Gotta agree that thing has no redeeming value whatsoever.

Bang-on for the first comment.
And as for KoL - they are a pack of f**king idiots, but Maroon 5 still take the cake for my rage. That dick singer needs a copy of Contradictions Collapse (Meshuggah) shoved fair down his throat.

I used to date this girl who was absolutely smitten by them. She loved all and everything from the band, and I of course had no other choice than to bear with her, admittedly, psychopathic ways. I really tried liking them - most of all because it would improve the time I spent with her tenfolds, yet no dice. The more I listened the more apparent it became that Nickelback were making the same song over and over again. I have yet to hear a song from them that sounds different from ANY of their other tunes. Maybe it's the singers voice that does it? Every time I hear it my brain instantly tries fleeing out of my ear.

You poor Soul. I would NEVER date a chick into crap like that - already a firm incompatibility rating from the get-go. No matter how hot she is.......

There aren't really any pop songs I hate with a passion; I'm just completely impartial to them. 

For prog/related songs that I can't stand, though:
  • The Who - Christmas
  • The Who - Underture
  • The Who - Go To The Mirror
  • Actually, just put down everything on that album except for Pinball Wizard
  • Led Zeppelin - Dancing Days
  • Led Zeppelin - In My Time of Dying
  • Genesis - Watcher of The Skies

Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer
Rush - CLoser to the Heart
Alice Cooper - Poison
Led Zeppelin - Rock & Roll
Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
Winger - Headed for a Heartbrake

I could think of a lot of hair metal ballads and AOR stuff.

This Charming Man [actually the title of the song is irrelevant, as is its lyrics and music (if you can call it that, it sounds more like the dying throws of an internal combustion engine that has suffered a total lubrication failure and is moments away from terminal seizure) as every song Stephen Patrick Morrissey nasally whines sound the same to me.]

Apparently I also have a low tolerance for songs by Simply Red but as I don't know a single song title by them I can't really contribute anything constructive.
What?

This song was the bane of my supermarket employee years, used to play EVERY SINGLE DAY, such an aggravating little ditty, until one day I finally looked it up and was shocked to discover it was Fleetwood Mac!



I don't think I've heard it in a decade by this point, although before then I was finally starting to enjoy some Fleetwood Mac albums and it's evil spell no longer works on me thankfully! I don't love it, but I can listen to it if I spin the album.

I've heard James Blunt described as the man who is his own rhyming slang...

According to wiki there are 309 songs recorded, 72 are covers which leaves 237 original compositions...For fear of listing 2-3 pages on this thread, I will not list them.

The Beatles.

If I never hear Justin Bieber again anywhere I will be very happy. Miley Cyrus curls my teeth the wrong way. Europe's The Final Countdown puts the finger firmly at the back of my throat.

I'm sure you haven't listened to some Coldplay you like, if you like Radiohead, you'll appreciate some Coldplay - if you're able to give them a chance:

The first and last song of The Blue Room EP (Bigger Stronger and Such A Rush (from 14:32)) have a very deep mood which runs through the whole album.

42, this one is arguably their best alternative rock song with a very interesting bridge between two contrasting parts.
