Songs that annoy you/send you into a rage?

Let's just agree that all Top 40 music sucks. Which is why I refer to KISS FM-branded stations as SUCK FM (with the exception being if they do not play any Top 40, like 106.1 here in Seattle, which is actually a Hot AC station, and I can tolerate that format because it plays the older 90s hits that I like better). Also on my hate list: all other music that was made beyond 2005, with 35 (the age I turned that year) the natural cutoff point for new music purchases. So to the likes of Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Sam Smith, Rihanna, Beyoncé and even Adele, that's a no for me.

No.

In the last 10 years or so I started listening to Gorillaz, Linkin Park, and Panic! At The Disco, and I pretty much have gotten into the music of all three groups, especially Panic!
I'm never wrong, just wildly inaccurate.

Quote from: CapeCodder on February 08, 2018, 03:08:18 PM#3 Wild, Wild West by Escape Club. This is a great example of why some people hate 80's music. The lyrics are cheesy and the beat is incredibly repetitive.
Actually, that one is one of my favorites.

The song that used to drive me crazy was Mr. Big's "To Be With You."  I thought it was a really weak, overplayed single for a band that had a lot of potential.

However, I was saddened to hear of the passing of drummer Pat Torpey on February 7.
Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

Oh, I just remembered something else:

"Barbie Girl" by Aqua

I would find it hard to believe that too many people on this forum like this song, or anywhere, for that matter.

I definitely cannot stand the song.  :ded:

"Come on Barbie, let's go potty!"

Somehow I've been lucky enough to manage not to have heard that song, but doing a quick read-through of the lyrics, it sounds entirely too sexual for a song about a plastic toy doll for little girls.
Left for 5 months Oct 2018-Mar 2019 due to arguing in the DST thread.
Tried coming back Mar 2019.
Left again Jul 2019 due to more arguing.

"Oh, I'm having so much fun!" "Well Barbie, we're just getting started!"

That one was bad when it came out. We Like to Party! by Vengaboys was bad too. When it came to Eurodance I liked Snap! and Culture Beat.

This thread is great because it's literally a random amalgamate of dislike.

"Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night. As a metalhead I love my classic rock, but that song sends me for the stratosphere.

Also, most any pop music post-1992 or so, along with every bit of hip-hop that goes with it.

Any of the new songs from Taylor Swift.  "Look What You Made Me Do" makes me wonder what I did to her.
Considering she started out as country she sure caught the fame fever.  I, though, must admit some of her new stuff is not bad, but then again its not classic Taylor Swift though.

Taylor Swift..... GAG ME WITH A SPOON!!!!  :banghead:  She has always reminded me of an 80s Valley Girl born in the wrong decade for some reason.

Would I Lie to You? by Charles and Eddie. No one in our house liked that song. I also have a dislike of Tina Turner's I Don't Wanna Fight.

Hurricane Rex

Any song that is marginally sexual (a lot of post 2010 songs) but to me that doesn't compare to this song.

United we Dance by Vicetone. For whatever reason it has 6 versions on Pandora and all 6 come up on my running station when I turn it on (I refuse to use thumbs down as my dad likes that song). It plays once every 2 hours compared to one of my favorites: Hero by Pegboard Nerds and that has 2 versions and only comes up once every 8-12 hours (once to twice a week). That isn't even mentioning repeating bad beats IMO.

A lot of remixes.

Manfred Mann's Blinded By The Light.  Especially the middle verses.  They are not in the original Springsteen composition and fact is there is a version (the single version) that leaves that out particularly.   

When I drove through Kansas and Oklahoma I found radio stations playing the short single version and it sounded much better that the long version with the slowdown part.   Right after the Early Birdie Whirlly ( or little Early Curly) the song would go into the outro and then the song that is played out so much is done.

Margarita, that song from the mid 90's, that the DNC I believe wanted to use for their song.  To me that one was so annoying mainly because it had the line where the girls said something to the effect of fooling around because the boyfriend was a loser, where if the genders were turned it would be sexist and mean to women.

I can deal with most Christmas songs, even the novelty ones, but Lord help you and your radio if I hear it playing "Feliz Navidad."

I cannot stand Jackson Five I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus with young Michael Jackson saying "I did, I did, see Mommy Kissing Santa,"  copying Tweetie in Sylvester and Tweety "I did, I did see a putty tat."

For me it's not so much that one as it is Christmas Shoes.

I loathe that stupid Christmas shoes song.  Yep, Jesus cares what shoes your mother wears, so spend time at the store spending your last dime on them rather than with her.

I love Blinded by the Light  :no:

And yes, most Christmas music is utterly bland and does not deserve to be forced onto us for two months (!) out of every year.  The exception is Bob Rivers - "The Twelve Pains of Christmas" (1988) :D

"You Rock My World" by Michael Jackson makes me wanna snap.

I despise most R&B that came out after 1990. To me that's when it lost its funk, soul, and originality. Just boring after 1990.

Don't care much for Rap that came out after 2005 or so, the lyrics are especially dumbed down after 2012 (aka "mumble" rap) and money, sex and violence has basically dominated everything radio-wise since about 2000 anyway.

I don't care for Rock that came out after about 1988.

Can't stand Country, period.

Amy Grant's new song sounds like poo."

The correct lyrics is:
"Revved up like a deuce....", as in a hot-rodded mid 20th century two-door coupe.

As annoying as it can be, I can never get mad when I hear Feliz Navidad.  That's because the first time I remember hearing it was on a new clock radio on Christmas morning in 1972, which was three days after my mother was released from the hospital - she had suffered a heart attack four weeks earlier.
