Stuck In The Middle With You - Steve Miller
You can certainly hate the song, but at least hate that it was written and performed by Stealers Wheel, not Steve Miller. Hilariously, I looked on the internet and found a whole host of people unclear on the authorship and performance of "Stick in the Middle With You". As far as I know, Steve Miller never played the song. Yet the myth persists. Perhaps because so many people dislike Steve Miller.
Consider how many people think Cat Stevens wrote and sang "Cat's In the Cradle".

Stuck In The Middle With You - Steve Miller Can't You See - Marshel Tucker Hotel California - Eagles (Yes, I'm serious) Whatever that "I Was Made For Loving You Baby, You Were Made For Loving Me" song is Come Together - The Beatles (Heard it a billion times now) Down on the Corner - CCR
Let us now talk about the pop music today
Fancy - Iggy Azalea What Do You Mean - Justin Bieber Fight Song - Rachel Platten All About That Bass - Megan Trainor All of Me - John Legend Say Something I'm Giving Up On You - ??? Cheerleader - Whoever the hell wrote that! Blurred Lines - Robin Thick
The list goes on forever!!! Also, all popular country music today and all IDM bass dropping dance music. And (almost) all rap songs!!!

Another one: Elephant Talk by King Crimson. Obnoxious sound effects, tinny guitar sound, horrendous vocals. Quite possibly my least favourite song of all time.

Because of the following dialogue from a Family Guy episode:
Michael: Hey Meg, I got you something for our 3 week anniversary. Meg: WOW, a Maroon 5 CD! Michael: Yeah, I remember how you told me you like terrible music, so I thought you might appreciate it.
I now refer to Maroon5, John Mayer, Train, matchbox twenty, the Fray, the Script and similar artists under the genre of Terrible Music. (This is distinct from Sh*tty Music, which includes Nickelback and their imitators and proteges.)

"Tom Sawyer" - Rush
Yeah, i forgot that one, it make me cringe!!
What actually makes me cringe is that almost every time I mention I'm into prog rock, someone has to mention that song. Or, even worse, sing those first lines. Perhaps one of the reasons I avoid talking about my music taste with random people.

Wham - Careless Whisper Scorpions - Still Loving You Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
I hate, I HATE, I DO HATE these songs since my youngest age: it's like having your dentist telling you have beautiful eyes, nice hair and a fresh breath while piercing your teeth's roots, messing with your gums and sitting on your lap no matter what you say on such a rather unconventional behaving from a medic. Gosh.
What! "Still Loving You" is the ultimate power ballad! So good. I also like "Careless Whisper". Never heard of "Baker Street" (or at least don't recognize the name or artist).

Glory of Love - Peter Cetera
Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing
Totally agree with these! Depressing songs. There is also another Cetera hit song I think, can't remember it now. I think the problem is songs that want to express something in a dramatic way and yet it's just incredibly mediocre.
Pete C was great in Chicago. I don't think much of his solo career, bar his 1981 debut. Great bassist.
