Name three songs you wish you'd never heard.

[slym2none]

Three per post, as many posts as you want. Go! I'll start:

"You Ought To Know" - Alanis Morrisette
"Where Have All The Cowboys Gone" - Paula Cole
Anything by Lynyrd Skynyrd

The first because I always end up talking back to the crazy person singing the song. The second - no explanation needed. The 3rd, well, I just can't stand the band (nor their clone, Molly Hatchet). Chalk that up to a friend growing up that seemed to listen to nothing but and when he heard that one song go "Turn it up!" he always did, like it was a command.

I hates them. And yes, I am from the South. Because racist bastids...

"Stuck Like Glue" -Sugarland, because when it was at the height of its popularity DJs seemed to play it at least once every 45 minutes.

"Life is a Highway" as performed by Rascal Flatts. R.F., if you are reading this, you will never be anywhere near as good as Chris Ledoux. Or Tom Cochran, I guess.

"Wagon Wheel" as performed by the guy in the next room at the frat house. I think he believed that if he could play it well enough he could woo the ladies with it. He wasn't horrible at playing it, I just wanted to go to bed at 2:30am, after everyone left the party, instead of listening to him practice it 3 times in a row. This happened repeatedly.

That awful song that's everywhere last year and this year. I don't know what it's called, but it's like "Never gonna look back, Woooaaahhh! Never gonna look back Woooaaaaahhh, Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-aaahhooohhha!" God, that song is annoying.

That Sugar Ray one about the halo hanging from the four-post bed.

And, it's not a bad song, but I heard it for the first time in years and it was stuck in my head for two weeks - Henry the Eighth, I Am. It was so bad Id wake up in the middle of the night and the first thought in my head was "And every one was an 'Enery. ENERY!!"

Anything from Sheryl Crow
Almost any Country Song
Most of what's on the Pop stations these days.

Now I have to listen to some Lonely Island just to get the bad taste out of my mouth! "I threw it on the GROUND!"

 

[nutty_gnome]

red red wine - ub40
fast car - tracy chapman
wind beneath my wings - anyone who sings it.

 

[Grantman1]

Anything that the group Train has ever put out, ever. Any note, chord, or syllable. Not only is it horrible, but every radio station insists on playing it on repeat, 24/7.

I could make a whole list of "everything by _____" examples, but I'll try to stick with specifics. I don't know all the artists, but I'm sure you know the songs I'm talking about:

"You Had a Bad Day" by some jerk. You know, the song that's like mandatory listening in every waiting room ever. That song gives me a bad day.

"Hey Soul Sister" by Train (I think? Floc those guys.)

"This is How We Roll" by Luke Bryan. My wife likes all that pop country. It all drives me nuts, but this is probably the most representative example.

 

[mkyl428]

Pretty much any country song

That "let it go" song from Frozen....... please do!

The version of "Broken" by Seether with Amy Lee from Evanescence, not the original without her though, the version without her in it is awesome

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Barney song.
Song that never ends.
Caillou song.

 

[1977Brewer]

Hotel California.

Any Nickelback song, they're all the same anyway.

Watch Me

Ok, Fast Car. That is one specifically I can't stand.

Sounds like a frikkin broken record.

Also Hey There Deliliah. I just can't stand the lyrics and his voice.

Also, not a big fan of Def Lepard. I can't say why. Combination of his voice and the strangely overproduced sound of the band. Normally I'm a big fan of most hair bands.

 

[dsaavedra]

Any song from X band or Y genre

Y'all some cheatin' mofos

 

[drainbamage]

That "let it go" song from Frozen....... please do!

This. It doesn't help that it's usually being sung by a 5-year old girl, very loud and very off-key.

 

[JonM]

Honorable mention:
The one where Ellie Goulding sings, with a straight face, "every inch of your skin is a Holy Grail I've gotta find." That is a tie in the Stupidest Lyrics Ever contest with the one where the girl sings "you're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul." My God.

 

[brrman]

Too Cold for Angels to Fly
Happy
The entire Country genre...

[Brew_Dude41]

I jump on with the tracy chapman 'fast car'--I forgotten about that one until it was brought up-I now have on repeat in my head.
'party in USA' by miley cyrus.
To make it a family affair I will also throw in 'akey breaky heart' by her dad.

 

[m00ps]

whatever its called "shut up and dance with me"?

even the producers that wrote the song know its terrible because they go directly into the chorus with the one vocal hook immediately as the song begins. They know no one could listen to even 30sec of it without that stupid line. I could rant for days about how derivative, formulaic, and disposable every single song that plays on a top 20 station is. People get mad at me when I turn the radio off in the gym. Id rather listen to silence with periodic grunts than that crap

Now that I'm involved in this thread, I find myself repeatedly getting songs I hate stuck in my head.

Mistakes were made. Dammit. :cross:

 

[Minky]

red red wine - ub40

I turn it OFF!

But turn it on again. Nothins ever gonna block the sound.

 

[PlexVector]

I only have one that instantly came to mind: "Yummy Yummy Yummy I've got love in my tummy" by The Ohio Express back in the late 60's. Got to be the worse ever, although now the title implies something totally diff to me.

Oh yeah... sorry 'bout that...

 

[slym2none]

"Don't Speak" - No Doubt
"Broken" - Seether
"Shimmer" - Fuel

None of these are bad songs to me... but they way they make me feel is why I can't listen to them anymore...
