SIGNS. I HATE that song. From the moment I first heard it...  
x meadowlander : 3/20/2019 10:04 am : link
...it repelled me like raisins in meatloaf.

JUMP - Van Halen. Jump off a fucking cliff. I can deal with nearly ALL VH - the Roth years were tremendous, Hagar was annoying but the band evolved well. But in 84, all I heard was JUMP and God I hated it and still do. DX7 PUKE.

EVERYTHING from Counting Crowes or Hootie and The Blowfish.

HIP TO BE SQUARE. NO. GOD NO. It never was and never is.

DANCING IN THE DARK. Original Version. I love Bruce dearly, but holy shit what an embarrassing disaster that song and vid were. I've heard it acoustic and can stomach that.

There was just something about the DX7 that repelled me deeply. FOUL instrument, used mostly for EEEEEVIL.

OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL...  
x meadowlander : 3/20/2019 10:07 am : link
...a musical salt lick for white people.

Remember the first time you heard it? Seger, howling - great song, right? Then yeah, Tom Cruise, I get it, FUN!

Then 30 straight fucking years of daily radio play, EVERY cover band in America and it isn't a wedding without OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL.

It does NOT soothe my soul.
fuck you, man, Eddy Grant is awesome!

Anything by Alanis Morrisette. God, she was the worst.

I remember, way back when, the local rock station used to have this thing called Rate at 8. At 8 PM, they'd play a brand new single and people would call in and rate it. Well, one night they played "You Oughta Know". I had never heard of her in my life at that point, and I thought to myself "Man, that's the worst damned song I've ever heard"

So of course it became a smash hit and she became a big star. Ugh.

I agree with every single one his mentions.

I’d like to add American Pie. Boring, boring song about how the Beatles, the Stones and Dylan ruined music?
oh man, American Pie is awful  
Greg from LI : 3/20/2019 10:39 am : link
I can remember taking class trips in I think 8th and 9th grades and the girls on the bus would sing American Pie and Cecilia over and over and over again - and this was in 1989-90! Those songs were already 15-20 years old.

Flea's bass part pops and growls nicely in that song. I dug it. But I can understand why it would grate on people.

Good band, Great singer, incredibly annoying song.
Flea played on that album??  
Greg from LI : 3/20/2019 10:57 am : link
Huh...pretty random.

The music is meh. Nothing noteworthy, but tolerable. Her voice, though, is nails on a chalkboard to me.

I liked it for maybe the first 3000 times I heard it.

I don't know why, but there are a ton of overplayed songs that don't bother me nearly as much. Maybe because some people give them credit as the first heavy metal band, because they used the words as lyrics, but it just ain't true.

See above reasons for 'Old Time Rock and Roll'.

TOM PETTY - one of my all-time favorites, polluted by fucking Jeff Lynne, put out a series of albums that sounded like they were made by a Tom Petty animatron. I. Won't. Back. Down.

I thought it was an old Oberheim analog synth like Rush used on Subdivisions and Countdown. Same brass tone.

Most Led Zeppelin songs  
jnoble : 3/20/2019 5:52 pm : link
And not because they are awful, because a friend of mine got really into LZ in the late '90s. I mean REALLY into Zep and it was all he would play on his car radio and want to talk about when we went somewhere. He overdosed me on Zeppelin and I still don't want to hear Ramble On or The Ocean or Living Loving Maid for the 8 zillionth time.
That and I think a lot of their songs were poorly produced and recorded.
