Manfred Mann's Blinded By The Light - So weary of that particular song as it has been played for over 35 years constantly.
Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody- I hate the the choir type of operatic verses in the song, plus if you listen to the lyrics it is about giving up on life and not wanting to live. Not even a Rock Song although it may be classified as one.

I think you're mistaken. These works of art take an ordinary, simple sentence, and–through the use of years of songwriting expertise, ingenuity, and craftsmanship–repeat it three times, turning it into a rallying cry that plucks every heartstring:
Your life is now,
Your life is now,
Your life is now.
It's just another day,
It's just another day,
It's just another day.

You just specifically described the radio format that since the late 80s is called "Classic Rock," and more generally described all of commercial music radio.
People want to hear what they're familiar with. Too much that's new to them is... too challenging.

Fully agreed on the first one, fully disagreed on the second one. I picked up an appreciation for the latter because it was exactly the length of my commute from home to work about a decade ago - driveway to parking spot - give or take a few seconds. Usually I was pulling up the parking brake lever just as the final "nothing really matters..." was crooning out from Freddie Mercury.
"Blinded by the Light" is a mish-mash which seems to say nothing and is musically childish. Rock must have hit a new low in 1981.
Music is subjective, that much is certain. Sometimes, it's a bit objective.

I hate also when some stations play Jackson Browne's song Stay without The Load Out as both songs together make one long song.
In fact when played as one song it makes the David Lindley Falsetto even more better as you have to wait through the entire The Load Out for it giving it that suspenseful feeling. When they go right into Stay it ruins it by taking away the suspense.
Also I hate listening to some Top 40 Stations that play the single versions as many of them also leave out key parts to the song like Supertrampts Goodbye Stranger which leaves out the whistling parts and the verse intros. To me if you cut that out, it defeats the purpose of the song, so why bother.
Another song I turn off is Club Novae's version of Bill Withers Lean On Me as the song sounds so butchered with their rapping in the song it sounds nothing like it is supposed to.

Lyrically, it's pretty typical of Springsteen in that era in its all-over wander.
And 1981? Try 1973 (Springsteen) or 1976 (Manfred Mann's Earth Band).
I find neither to stick out much among the 200 or so songs commercial "classic rock" stations decided were America's favorites. The whole concept is pretty much designed to make you sick of songs you might otherwise enjoy, which I just don't get. "Stranglehold" is a great song, but why on earth would a station with decades to pick from play it twice in three days? Lazy corporate fucks.

Anything by Taylor Swift because Taylor Swift. Her newest song meant to officially change her genre from country to Top 40 is most unpleasant to my eardrums.
Most of anything my 16 yr old listens to (Top 40, dubstep X-( ) is horrible.
Classic rock is my preferred choice of music, but there are some songs that if they were never played again, I wouldn't miss them at all:
Most definitely!
He is one of my favorites.
"C'mon Baby Light My Fire" by The Doors, & any other song that uses the kyboard synthesizer extensively automatically makes me change the station fast! :ded:

Urgh! Do not get me started on all things Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, or the hag we know as Justin Bieber! Anything related to new age country makes me puke. I'm more for songs like "Goin Down On It (NFS version)" from Hot Action Cop, "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, so on. I can list a few more, but those are the kind of things I tend to gravitate to. It's just flat annoying with Swift, Gomez, Biebs, sucking up a lot of the airwaves these days.
Boy, you thought Brittney and Christina were bad, you don't have to turn your dial far to see how far down every genre has gone these days. Country just isn't what it used to be. The artists in that genre have really overdone it. I'm not a big party guy and listening to club style songs on the radio doesn't suit me. I mean, really the only good genres I know are left standing are jazz, classics, 70's-90's country, classic to 90's grunge rock and oldies. All this new crap just makes me gag.

Anything by the Doors. I simply find them to be utterly monotonous.
Back in the mid-1990s I got very tired of all radio stations that call themselves "Mix" yet played only three or four songs ("Only Wanna Be with You" by Hootie and the Blowfish, "Every Day Is a Winding Road" by Sheryl Crow, and one or two songs by Dave Matthews) while pitching themselves as a mix of "the '70s, '80s, and '90s" while never playing anything that predated, say, the release of Thriller. I remember I complained to MIX-101.5 in Raleigh that they never played anything from the 1970s. A week later, their slogan changed to "the best mix of the '80s, '90s, and today." Since it was the mid-1990s, I was (and remain) unclear about the difference between "the '90s" and "today"!

Radio stations lie all the time! In Orlando we had a station called Q 96 and for a very short time period they had a normal music playing DJ in the morning named Finger. He was NOT a shock jock at all and the station called themselves Most Music in the Mornings and made fun of their rival at the time WDIZ for having Baxter and Mark not playing music at all but being the jocks they were.
A few weeks later, Finger was gone, and they soon enough syndicated John Boy and Billy Big who indeed are jocks in his morning time slot. Talk about false advertising!
Then their sister station in Tampa was always criticsizing Thunder 103 Five for playing wimpy rock music such as The Who, but they themselves were playing Billy Squire who is even more wimpier than The Who.
I called to complainstation to that and the program directer admitted that he lied. He said "Oh you caught me."

Listening to it one or two times is okay for me, but on a repeated basis on any given day, regardless of how awesome it is just spells pure annoyance. That's like playing "A Whole New World" ten times an hour. Urgh!
@ET21 - if the song annoys you that much on the radio, you'd be more annoyed downloading it to your iTunes playlist and having that on repeat every single day. That's why you mix up your playlist so that you don't run in to the same thing over and over on a daily basis because by the second or third time "Let It Go" plays, you'd be wanting to flip to another station.
Oh, I was also going to mention "I'm A Barbie Girl" from Aqua! God Dang that was the most annoying song ever to hit the airwaves! So, sorry "Let It Go", but you pale in comparison to Aqua's "Barbie Girl" song. Ooooooh! How I just long to hit the "NOPE" button and send it clear off into infinitive oblivion!

Music is everywhere. I went on a "music fast" during Lent in 2013 and it was easier than I expected because music is played almost everywhere.

For instance, almost every store plays music. There's at least one coworker who plays music without headphones at her desk, one person on the bus without headphones. It's in many commercials on TV. Whenever I rode in a car with someone, they automatically turned on the radio. Even in conversations with certain people we are quoting song lyrics. Hell, so many of my friends with kids complain on facebook that their second grader came home singing Nicki Minaj (or whoever is the hot artist of the week) because they played it in the background during gym class.
Music is everywhere, including bad music.

I use to hate this song, but once I realized that no one in the song and video is taking themselves seriously, it became a lot more fun.
I have a friend from college who reviews pop songs online, and he's hilarious has a pretty decent following. His name is Todd in the Shadows. I bring him up because he reviewed four of the songs you mentioned and was not a fan of any of them.

I still don't have this problem. I guess I have a lot of control over what I listen to on a day-to-day basis, and anything that my exposure to is from the store background music or what other people are playing in my vicinity is just not enough buildup to the point of "hatred" (kind of an extreme for a song but whatever).
I usually have a pretty good sense of humor about the stupidity of a lot of the vapid, fleeting pop songs. The worst of them are not usually around long enough to get to me anyway. And the ones that are are usually pretty funny. I think my sensibilities grew out of watching the early days of MTV, where they put just about everything on in terms of varieties of popular music, and it was all ridiculous, stupid, and fun, which is really what rock 'n roll is all about. Even if crappy pop songs today don't specifically speak to me, I get what they're doing, cause it's the same thing they were always doing.
If there's one thing that's particularly grating to me, though, it's these plaintive, sensitive indie rock boys who, despite being white, middle-class, very educated, and living in Brooklyn, manage to have a deep mournful tone about their loss and their love and their pain and all I can think is get the hell over yourself. But I admit this really ties more into much deeper prejudices about people like I'm describing, and less about their music.

:rofl: :rofl:
This is why Raiford always calls it the "John Boy and Billy Show": "Big" is not Billy's last name. The show is "The Big Show." If you thought of it in mathematical terms, it'd be the (John Boy and Billy) (Big Show)—or, if they'd phrased it differently, "The Big Show Starring John Boy and Billy." (John Isley and Billy James.)
I am aware that Big is not Billy's last name. Heck Billy may not even be his first name. Look at Bob Dylan and even Alice Cooper. Both are stage names for them.
Then look at the one name people. You think that Madonna, Pink, Usher, and Sting are their only name. Only Gilligan on Gilligan's Island and Quincy on Quincy are fictional characters who have just one name and no first and no last name.
The point I was trying to make was that WHTQ, a now defunct rock station in Orlando, used to lie about hating shock jock mornings as they themselves in the midst of advertising their devotion to a music morning goes out and gets involved with those they are saying they dislike to the one person on here who mentioned that a station he knew lied to listeners about their format.

Personally, I rarely choose to listen to radio, unless the drive is short enough that setting up my iPod is a bit of a nuisance. But about once or twice a year, I'm confronted with a retail job site where they play the same local radio station(s) or just leave it on some so-called crowd-pleasing XM station. There's a lot of music out there, so there's no reason to ever play the same song three times in a 8-10 hour span.
I do get a few places where the employees actually change stations or genres (or whatever Internet stream they're using) in the building, room, or desk every half day or so, which is refreshing...if not always to my liking.

Whats annoying is when they do it with genres that have a TON of music. SXM's EDM stations are notorious for this. Even the sub-genres (trance, house, etc.) have enough good tracks that you wouldn't hear a repeat for a day or two. This is the same scene that regards tracks as little as 2-3 years old as "classics".
Back to pop music, I could never figure out why so many people were obsessed with "The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony" that it almost always make it onto those "essential 90's tracks" compilations.

I should be ashamed though, because I like the far superior Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship, and even they are ashamed of the Starship era. When I saw them live in 2013 as Jefferson Starship, they pretended that the Starship era didn't exist.

I have zero feeling one way or another about the various Jefferson craft. I just know that when I take this song in the context of its time, it's a lot of fun. It was a big radio hit and if you didn't care who it was by or what else they'd done (like me), it was perfect for a pop hit of 1984 or 85. I give them credit for being able to do different things in different styles in different eras and be successful at it.

As far as the Jefferson Airplane/ Starship thing goes it was all about egos between the personnel of the band. After the Jefferson named was dropped the original members regrouped using the Jefferson Airplane name again.
It is sad that the album they released called I Love Jet Aircraft was yanked by the record company a short time after as I loved the song Summer Of Love that was on it.
On another note Z100 in NYC, dubbed in their radio station name in the first verse of We Built This City instead of the word "rock and roll" after We Built This City.

Speaking of that song...
I can't listen to the George Harrison song My Sweet Lord, because, well, Hare Krishna is not my lord. I suspect this is the same feeling someone who is an atheist has whenever a song referencing God comes on, or someone who isn't Christian feels when a specifically Christian song comes on.

There is a song that I do not know the name of, but it has a man singing like a girl. Not a falsetto, but he actually sounds like a girl. The lyrics sound like he is singing "pull me down, we're gonna lose control" however that is not it. Each time I hear it out in the local restaurant I frequent, I try to make the lyrics out, but have no luck as the first word is unclear always. Google is no help this time, as it brings up other R & B songs that are not the one.
Anyway, I thought this hot girl was singing it until I saw VH1 play the video and did not like the fact that it was a dude naturally sounding like that! Even Frankie Vali and Barry Gibb do not sound that feminine with their falsettos like this dude sings it. Galleger (from Over My Head on HBO circa 1980) would have used this dude instead of Franki Vali if he heard him that is how freaky this guy sounds.
Then we used to also kid around back in High School about Pass The Dutchie changing out Dutchie for the a woman's body part as in my school it was mostly rock loving people that would not give R & B, Disco, Club, or anything synonymous with that section of music a chance. Plus many thought the change in lyrics were cute.

And it was played to death in '97 (in the UK at least - especially during September, where there weren't many other non-upbeat songs that had come out in the last 6 months to fill the gaps between alternate Candle in the Wind plays...), so it's a song people all remember from the 90s. Somehow, it was voted number 2 in a BBC poll on Britpop songs (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-26990999) when those other songs in the top 10 are all better.
The strings riff is the theme song to TV coverage of England (the team, not all matches in the country)'s soccer matches, so we still aren't shot of it.

I really got sick of Coldplay's Clocks - like Bittersweet Symphony 6 years before, it got played endlessly in the UK. To make matters worse, I then crossed the pond just as the UK gave up on it, the song was just taking off in the States so cue all the shops in the malls playing it in the 5 weeks I spent there Summer 03 (oddly it was released as a single 6 months earlier in the US than in the UK). Also it took 6 months to release it as a single after the album hit the shelves, so I was kind of fed up of it by the time it came out in the UK.

There is a song that I do not know the name of, but it has a man singing like a girl. Not a falsetto, but he actually sounds like a girl. The lyrics sound like he is singing "pull me down, we're gonna lose control" however that is not it. Each time I hear it out in the local restaurant I frequent, I try to make the lyrics out, but have no luck as the first word is unclear always. Google is no help this time, as it brings up other R & B songs that are not the one.
Anyway, I thought this hot girl was singing it until I saw VH1 play the video and did not like the fact that it was a dude naturally sounding like that! Even Frankie Vali and Barry Gibb do not sound that feminine with their falsettos like this dude sings it. Galleger (from Over My Head on HBO circa 1980) would have used this dude instead of Franki Vali if he heard him that is how freaky this guy sounds.
You've rambled aimlessly about this before, I'm curious as to what song it is. My best guess is "Cool It Now" by New Edition, although that was sung by a teenager.

I personally don't believe and I find some inherently Christian or other religious songs entertaining to listen to due to complex harmonies, guitar riffs or beautiful, poetic lyrics. I don't believe in Beelzebub or Bismillah, but I think Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the greatest masterpieces ever written. I don't believe in angels singing songs of hope, but that doesn't change my love for Styx's Come Sail Away. My Sweet Lord isn't necessarily one of my favorites, but I don't hate it because I love George Harrison's sweet, tender tone in it.
I can't listen to the George Harrison song My Sweet Lord, because, well, Hare Krishna is not my lord. I suspect this is the same feeling someone who is an atheist has whenever a song referencing God comes on, or someone who isn't Christian feels when a specifically Christian song comes on.

Nope. If the song is good and the musicianship is good, lyrics about Him don't bother me at all.

No, not really.
This is a slippery slope. I hope you don't like the song "Bargain" by The Who, as it's about Pete Townshend's willingness to sacrifice everything to attain spiritual nirvana through his guru, the Avatar Meher Baba. There are certainly countless other examples of professions of faith in music that are neither your own nor overt.
Some of the most beautiful music is ecclesiastical music. I love not only the face-value musical aspects of a lot of it, but the sentiments, bold and profound, even though they are not my own.
That's the beauty of art–getting oneself into the hearts and minds of others, and taking in what they offer us from there, whether we share it or not.
(I do not follow the Hare Krishna faith either, but "My Sweet Lord" is downright beautiful in my opinion.)

I guess what I was trying to get at about "My Sweet Lord" was that it's kind of a worshipful song. It's not so much the reference to another god - there are songs that I will listen to (and sing along with) where the singer makes a passing mention to a different belief or lack thereof - but the style of "My Sweet Lord" is similar to other Christian worship songs. That was kind of his intent - to show that eastern worship isn't so different from western Christianity. But I personally just can't listen to it because it reminds me too much of Christian worship music.
Example: from My Sweet Lord:
I really want to know you
Really want to go with you
Really want to show you lord
That it won't take long, my lord (hallelujah)
My sweet lord (hallelujah)
Hm, my lord (hallelujah)
My sweet lord (hallelujah)
I really want to see you
Really want to see you
Really want to see you, lord
Really want to see you, lord
But it takes so long, my lord (hallelujah)
Chorus from Sonicflood's "In The Secret (I want to know you)"
I want to know you
I want to hear your voice
I want to know you more
I want to touch you
I want to see you face
I want to know you more
ETA: I know this Sonicflood song is much later than My Sweet Lord, but My Sweet Lord was based off of other songs in the Jesus Movement of the 60's and 70's, which is what "In the Secret" is descended from.

I used to hate Lets Dance by David Bowie when it came out. I now have grown to like it since. I think it was because it was a first of its kind for Bowie as it had the sound that soon became the normal Rock.
1983 was a turning point year in rock history. The sound became different from that particular year on due to artists like The Men At Work, The Police, Duran Duran, etc. That particular Bowie track was part of that change that moved music forward.
As far as Hocus Pocus WDIZ in Orlando used to play it circa 1991 I guess because a heavy metal group happened to cover it but minus the awful yodeling. Still the song sucks whether its main line is yodeled or jammed on a heavy metal guitar.

Maybe it was 1997 then. I say 1991 because that was a memorable year for music and WDIZ was one of the great stations before they went Golden Oldies and then Spanish after that.
Plus it was 1991 when Rock split. Many stations would stop playing songs after that year and redefine the previous years music as "Classic Rock" and some like WHTQ which focused on pre 1991 rock music. WDIZ still played all years songs up until a few years later and went heavy metal more so along with Stone Temple Pilot, Guns and Roses before Clear Channel (who owned them) focused more on sister station WJRR and changed their format to Golden Oldies.

Yeah I think the classic rock format goes back to the 80s. It really became defined in the early 90s when the current rock stations became alternative rock stations, so the ones that didn't make the switch got branded as classic rock, even if they still played current rock music.

Yes it was!!! There was all of the awesome British synth-pop new wave music. There's a documentary called Made in Sheffield that talks about the scene there up to its mainstream explosion in 1983 (including bands like Human League, Heaven 17, Def Leppard, etc.).

Agreed, although I want to say that it took until 1985 to make the transition. It was around this time that radio station formats splintered into more specific formats, the last of the AM giants that had played top-40 music were pretty much dead, everybody (the the radio stations would play, at least) had to sound like Madonna or Prince, and music was becoming more and more synthesized. IMHO, there weren't as many songs I really cared about or wanted to buy after 1985, and by the early 90's, there may be only one or two songs I really liked from each year.

"Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro (I still maintain Honey faked her death to get away from this goober)
"One Moment in Time" by Whitney Houston
"Living in The Past" by Jethro Tull
"Invisible Touch" by Genesis (some OK tracks on that album, the title cut is so not one of them)
"Cherry Pie" by Warrant
"You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone, who sang this about God, and God apparently responded by killing her career.
Any of the bubblegum pop songs about death that littered the airwaves during various periods of the '60s and '70s, but the genre probably hit its nadir with "Run Joey Run" by David Geddes.
The only reason Justin Bieber didn't make my list is because, I'm proud to say, I can't name a single one of the little shit's songs.

My friends and I used to hate Yes I'm Lucky by Mick Jagger back when he had his first solo album and WNEW in New York used to play that particular track out.
Peter Wolf's Lights Out Song (First hit after leaving J Geils) was very annoying with the spoken line "Lights Out uh huh, splish splish splash uh huh" that incidentally WNEW played.
Boom Boom Boom by some fly by night group in the very late 80's was a song that I (and many around me) thought was tasteless to say the least.
The 80's did not only change the sound of rock and music, but also changed the subject matter of the songs. Boom Boom Boom, if released ten years earlier would have been banned from being played because of controversy. It was after this time when songs were accepted more about sensitive and controversial subject matters that today is considered normal except by the church groups.

The mid to late 1980s killed album-oriented rock and prog rock. New music of that sort is still being made, but no longer on commercial radio.
Many good rock acts from the 1970s just fell apart around 1985: Rush, Yes, Genesis, Foreigner, Heart, ELP...
Compare 1977 Heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0OX_8YvFxA to 1986 Heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE5GGMhmo-M -- that sort of thing was happening left and right.

Let's not forget that around then all those bands committed rock 'n' roll's most unforgivable act: they got old. Rock is a young person's game. It's hard to stay relevant over a whole career, harder still to do so and stay interesting.

That song has almost all the late 1980s tropes: DX7, stab synth brass, noise gated percussion, backing gospel vocals. I don't think it has a sax though.

Even though it is a very popular oldie, I've never liked "unchained melody" by the righteous brothers. I like a lot of the old-school rock and roll from the pre-Beatles era, but this song I just couldn't enjoy.
Growing up, I would listen to KRTH in Los Angeles and they would occasionally have an oldies countdown over holiday weekends and "Unchained Melody" would be in the top 5 (and sometimes even number one). Why?
But all good things come to an end. Here in the DC area, I don't know of any radio station that plays songs from that era. The songs that were made when I grew up in the 80's are now oldies.
I guess I'm old now.

"Unchained Melody" gained new life to a new generation because it was prominently featured in the movie "Ghost". Other "oldies" that returned to the Top 40 charts in the 80's and 90's due to being in movies included "Twist & Shout" (Back to School / Ferris Buehler's Day Off), "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" (Top Gun ) and "Do You Love Me" (Dirty Dancing).
And despite these songs being popular (again) in the 80s, many of these songs are STILL largely ignored by the corporate stations. Go Figure.

No, it isn't. R&B music usually features a melodic, sultry vocalist, while hip hop/rap usually features rhythmic, monotonal rappers. There are similarities between the two genres but rap = R&B...no. Just no.

I'm baffled a little. The abundant use of "hip-hop" means "rap" might get said less than it once did, but it's not un-PC.
If you're basing your "rap=R&B" point on the name of the Billboard chart "Rap/R&B,"* that's just a case of marketing simplification (i.e., most Black music gets lumped in one easy category for sales/airplay measurement purposes). It does not make the musics one and the same.
* So clumsy an amalgamation is this chart that they have changed the name five times since 1949, going from "Race Records" to "Rhythm & Blues Records," "Soul," "Black," "R&B," and finally "Rap/R&B."

One guy I used to work with, he is Jamaican, when trying to educate me on music himself claims that Hip Hop and R & B are the same music. This was back in 2004 though and he was a listener of 102 Jamz in Orlando and played it out loud in our workplace.
Also another redefining is the word jam! It used to be when a bunch of musicians got together and just played instruments to whatever came to mind, now one R & B, Hip Hop, or whatever you want to call it radio station uses it to call their music, hence 102 Jamz in Orlando. They call each one of what they play as a jam during the break instead of song, or they once did anyway.

I'm going to keep my own counsel on this rather than that of your former Jamaican co-worker.
It would help if you gave some examples rather than generalizing, but rap and R&B will still be two different things either way.

Lou Rawls used to piss my Dad off. On a road trip across northern Indiana, he'd changed stations three or four times just to get away from old Lou. Finally, he'd had enough. First, the knobs came off, then went out the window. Then, Dad loosened the attaching nuts with his fingers, pushed the radio through the dash of the Impala, reached down and yanked the wires out, then the whole radio went out the window! Mom was not pleased ... :pan:

You'll recall that Whitney Houston pretty much mentally fell apart as she got older. I'll let that stupid comment slide (I agree with you, BTW).

If Mariah Carey can be said to corroborate, apparently the high notes burn brain cells.
Mariah Carey to me sounds like car brakes & tires screeching all the way down a long, twisted mountain hill.

It is ludicrous that this is played as a Christmas song. Yes, it's tied in with winter, but it's really just a song about a horndog slipping a chick a roofie so he can slip her something else later.
"say, what's in this drink"
another great "Christmas" song? "Same Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg. A guy and his old girlfriend (now married) run into each other in the grocery store on Christmas Eve. They drink a six pack in her car. Nothing really illustrates the festiveness of the holiday season like a song about an unhappy marriage, loneliness and drunk driving.

Why is any song that does not specifically reference Christmas, Santa Claus, the baby Jesus or anything else pertaining to the religious or secular observance on Dec. 25 called a Christmas song?
"Frosty The Snowman," "Jingle Bells," "Winter Wonderland," etc.
I was in a retail establishment over the weekend and "Sweet Caroline" was playing on the PA. There were two women in front of me in one of the aisles who broke out in song -- so to speak -- when the chorus came on. I was unable to assess their level of intoxication, if any.

I used to hate that song by Quite Riot Cum On Feel The Noise. Somebody in another thread brought it up, so after forgetting about what we used to call a knock off Heavy Metal band where I grew up at in North Jersey, I could not stand the song. Yes, I too always thought it was not "girls rock your boys" either.
Then there was Shakira's Your Hips Don't Move that always annoyed me when it came out especially that dude she allowed to perform the song with with his line "No fighting, no fighting" at the beginning in one of the song's many versions. The way he said it is the same way people in urban areas say "Lets fight, lets fight" and the fact that at the time I heard rumors that Shakira originally recorded it by herself, but this other artist decided to do a mix on his own in both languages English and Spanish. Although I do credit him for his Espanol as his accent is down perfect for a Haitian who was raised creole. Most of all those horns at the beginning was horrible to say the least and it was too overplayed.

And Slade had a bit of a comeback as a result of Quiet Riot doing "Cum On Feel the Noize." Anyone remember "Run Runaway?"

*shrug* I liked Mmmbop as a kid and still like it now because I take it for what it is - a song created by some young, creative teenagers. Now, if it were created and sung by 20 something's or Max Martin or something, that would be different. Hanson's material matured as they did. It's rather unfortunate that they are only known in the mainstream for that song.

I hate Kirk Franklin's (the Christian artist who dances like James Brown) song called Stomp. If I did not know better, I think he stole lines from Hanna Barbera as it reminds me of the secret code of Elroy Jetson that Jet Screamer copied at the beginning where he has the choir chanting at the start of the song.

One can argue the same about Rap (and today's genre name for it called R & B, although to me R & B is classic Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind, & Fire, Lionel Richie) that its music all is the same being about scoring with ladies, hating cops, and getting high.
Rap and R&B are totally different genres.

It's a catchy, bubble-gummy pop song. Drove me crazy at the time, but looking at it a little more objectively now, it's almost perfect for what it is.
A catchy pop song is sort of a work of art. Not high art, but certainly something that not everyone achieves. I would be fine if I never heard that Barenaked Ladies sing again, but I get why it worked.
However, since we're on the MMMMs, has anyone mentioned that Crash Test Dummies "MmmMmmMmmMmm" song yet?

A few that will make me change the radio station as quickly as possible:
-Nena - '99 Luft balloons (99 Red Balloons)'
-Right Said Fred - 'I'm Too Sexy'
-Bruce Hornsby and the Range - 'The Way It Is'
-Men Without Hats - 'I Wanna Be A Cowboy'
-Anything by Barbara Streisand
(more titles as I think of them)
-Nearly all country newer than about 1981. IMHO, the genre 'Jumped the Shark' with the Urban Cowboy craze of that time. Before then, the genre was full of great sounds, styles and song writing, after it became all pre-programmed dreg.
-All vile gangsta/ghetto (c)rap. Also stuff with too much overt sexual innuendo.
-Pretty much all headbanger, hard punk, death metal and related stuff.
BTW, when I was younger, I also cringed when I heard a Rush song as Geddy Lee's voice grated me in the same 'fingernails on a chalkboard' manner as it does some of the other respondents in this thread. OTOH, in more recent years I have grown to appreciate it and I now find their stuff to be quite good, indeed.

I don't find it annoying, per se, but I'm always kind of disappointed when I listen to the bass line (something I find myself doing more now, as I am interested in learning bass guitar and might get one for Christmas) and it's just the same staccato note repeated over and over, then changes to a different note played over and over every couple of measures or so. Like, we get it, you know how to play eighth notes. How does it feel?

Almost every retail establishment plays music. There is music played when you are in the doctor's office. Music when you are put on hold on the phone. Music on public transit from someone's cell phone. Even riding with someone in their car there is usually some background music on, even if you're carrying a conversation. It's in the background at get togethers of family and friends and at community events. In TV shows and movies.

Under such restrictions do you get to listen to religious bands no one really knows are religious like Sixpence None the Richer, Pedro the Lion, or Danielson Famile?
Or what about Satanic music? Satan is part of the Christian mythology and it could be argued that Satanic music is Christian music.

I hate a lot of sex, violence, and explicit lyrics which is why I use a feature called the dial. You be a bit amazed at how I do not listen to the songs I hate or even commercials, political ads, or some commentators.
That is what I love about this country, as there is multiculture here and there is something for everybody!
Nobody is forcing you to pick one type of genre or even a hobby to like.
I went on a music fast once for Lent (no intentionally listening to music unless it was Christian themed for 40 days) and was amazed when I realized that I didn't miss it because I was still hearing music everywhere. Almost every retail establishment plays music. There is music played when you are in the doctor's office. Music when you are put on hold on the phone. Music on public transit from someone's cell phone. Even riding with someone in their car there is usually some background music on, even if you're carrying a conversation. It's in the background at get togethers of family and friends and at community events. In TV shows and movies.

I haven't heard of the last two, but I definitely listened to songs from Sixpence None the Richer during that time!
As for Satanic music, I don't think I listen to any such music anyway, so it's a moot point. Unless you're thinking of the type of Christians who think any kind of fantasy novels or role playing games are Satanic, lol, then I guess I do. I kept the fast to just songs themed about God. It was actually fun because I spent time listening to stuff that I don't usually, like bluegrass hymns and full choir gospel music.

A few that will make me change the radio station as quickly as possible:
-Nena - '99 Luft balloons (99 Red Balloons)'
-Right Said Fred - 'I'm Too Sexy'
-Bruce Hornsby and the Range - 'The Way It Is'
-Men Without Hats - 'I Wanna Be A Cowboy'
-Anything by Barbara Streisand
(more titles as I think of them)
-Nearly all country newer than about 1981. IMHO, the genre 'Jumped the Shark' with the Urban Cowboy craze of that time. Before then, the genre was full of great sounds, styles and song writing, after it became all pre-programmed dreg.
-All vile gangsta/ghetto (c)rap. Also stuff with too much overt sexual innuendo.
-Pretty much all headbanger, hard punk, death metal and related stuff.
BTW, when I was younger, I also cringed when I heard a Rush song as Geddy Lee's voice grated me in the same 'fingernails on a chalkboard' manner as it does some of the other respondents in this thread. OTOH, in more recent years I have grown to appreciate it and I now find their stuff to be quite good, indeed.
A few more:
-Yellow - 'Oh Yea'
-Rick Springfield - 'Jessie's Girl'
-Midnight Oil - 'Beds Are Burning'
-Chainsmokers - '#SELFIE'
-Anything by Cat Stevens

You must have never listened to Pitbull, Flo Rida, Nickelback (the punching bag for having similar sounding songs), Akon, etc. :banghead:
IMO, Adele is great compared to most on the radio, and she has never had a song that I would truly say I dislike. "Hello" was just overplayed to the point of exhaustion more than anything else.

Prior to 2000, I consider those songs good, except for the ones that repeat for hours on end or repeat the same words in different places. The only modern music that I do like (after 2000) is electronic music such as EDM, trap, house, etc. But never, ever dubstep.

Adele is one of the few contemporary artists I like listening to. Obviously I don't give a shit if you don't like her, but given how she's one of the few artists on an island from the 60s-80s bands that generally fill my collection she stands out for that.
One song I used to like but can't tolerate anymore is "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin, between my former Zeppelin obsession and it being played to death on classic rock radio. I don't really enjoy much Zep before IV anymore.

Grace Under Pressure is an album I neither love nor hate. It just sort of is. It is rather overshadowed by the albums that came immediately before and after it, though.
The only Rush album I have a generally negative opinion of is Caress of Steel. It's a good opening track and then 40 minutes of mostly crap (Lakeside Park is alright, I guess).
For a couple of my own contributions:
- Dream Theater's newest work. Losing Mike Portnoy pretty much ripped the band's soul out. A Dramatic Turn of Events was actually a pretty good album in spite of this, but the two albums they've released since then are largely flat and tedious.
- likewise for Train. They peaked with For Me It's You. Bulletproof Picasso is 12 tracks of super-generic pop with little to no artistic value.

May he R.I.P, but one artist I never could abide was Dan Fogelberg -- he seemed to alternate between overly sweet and overly whiny (didn't much care for his duets with Tim Weisberg either). On another note, an artist that I'd never have in my music collection would be Eddie Money -- back in the early '80's, I came awfully close to getting in a fight with the guy in the "1232" bar on North Grant in North Beach, S.F.

I am unsure how I feel about the Jonas Brothers being relevant in 2016. (Nick and Joe anyway, I still do not understand the band name DNCE.) I will say though that the more I hear Nick's "Close" (a duet with Tove Lo), the more the line "Space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too close" more annoys me.

Boz Scaggs "Lowdown" (1976) was run into the ground (and IMO not a very good track to start with).

Blinded by the Light from ManFred Mann. It gets played everyday at least three times on the local Rock station here, and it was played out even back in NJ when WNEW, WXRK, and WPLJ (when they were rock).
Funny thing is their is a shorten version made for the 45 records is played in Oklahoma and Kansas and sounds not so bad. It plays both verses of the song, and leaves out the tempo change where the song goes slow and does all that mama crap. To me its just added lines that really does not need to be, as the song is a cover of a Bruce Springsteen song in where he does not feature that slow part and singing to his mama like ManFred Mann does.

Agreed, although I want to say that it took until 1985 to make the transition. It was around this time that radio station formats splintered into more specific formats, the last of the AM giants that had played top-40 music were pretty much dead, everybody (the the radio stations would play, at least) had to sound like Madonna or Prince, and music was becoming more and more synthesized. IMHO, there weren't as many songs I really cared about or wanted to buy after 1985, and by the early 90's, there may be only one or two songs I really liked from each year.
Cincinnati still had an AM top 40 until 1987 (WCLU). But it was a tiny daytime-only station where records skipped all the time.

Q107 in Toronto plays a lot of Rush :) Unfortunately, the signal isn't the best in Uptown and the west end of Waterloo :-/

We should just say "songs that are in 7," then we don't have to worry about that irrelevant second number :D
I have a particular interest in songs that are in odd key signatures..I made a list on Spotify.
Songs in 7:
"Dreaming in Metaphors" by Seal
"Ethiopia" by Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Anagram" by Young the Giant
The solo section of "Tom Sawyer" by Rush
"2+2=5" by Radiohead
"Demons" by The National
The solo section of "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead
and of course "Money" from Pink Floyd
Wikipedia also has a much more complete list, but these are just songs I like/have.
Yes also messes with time signatures a lot too.

Yes also messes with time signatures a lot too.
Other interesting time signatures:
"Turn It On Again" by Genesis: Uses 9/4 and 13/4 time
"Firth of Fifth" also by Genesis: The piano and synth solos use 13/16 > 2/4 > 15/16 > 2/4
"Perpetual Changes" by Yes: The intro is in 10/4, the organ solo is in 7/4, what I would call the "main guitar riff" is in 14/4, with most of the song being in 3/4
Maybe, I'll listen to prog music on my iPod to find some more. And for the record, despite the topic title, I like all three of these songs!
EDIT (10:56am):
I'll add,
"Cinema Show" by Genesis: 4/4 in the first half, 7/4 in the second half
The Mission Impossible theme song is in 5/4. It was difficult, but fun playing this in the high school concert band :)
(11:21am):
Also,
"Thela Hun Ginjeet" by King Crimson: The song is 4/4, but Robert Fripp's guitar is somtimes in 7/8
The crown jewel, "Discipline" also by King Crimson. From Wikipedia,
QuoteThere are two main guitars (one played by Robert Fripp the other by Adrian Belew) which are often in a different time signature, giving the song a chaotic and intense feel. Many times the guitars play similar patterns, but one drops a note making them go either out of sync or change time signatures. During the piece the two guitars of Belew and Fripp, respectively, move through the following sequence of pairs of time signatures: 5/8 and 5/8, 5/8 and 4/4, 5/8 and 9/8, 15/16 and 15/16, 15/16 and 14/16, 10/8 and 20/16, 15/16 and 15/16, 15/16 and 14/16, 12/16 and 12/16, 12/16 and 11/16, 15/16 and 15/16, 15/16 and 14/16. Throughout the drums play in 17/16

Yes its overplayed and needs to join the Blinded By The Light Club along with many others like Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd (the live version is the kick ass version anyway, but radio stations for whatever reason like to market the studio version), and even Rock You Like A Hurricane by the Scorps.
I like all the songs, do not get me wrong, except for Blinded By The Light which a could give a rat's tale about, but some songs just get ruined with repetitive air play. Considering the Scorpions have lots of great hits they could sure alternate some into the mix. Heck what about Still Loving You? I have not heard any radio station play that in well over 20 years!

I wonder if there's a higher correlation between roadgeekery and appreciation of odd meter. Or it could be confirmation bias.
We saw Vienna Teng in concert a few weekends ago. Stanford grad, engineer; music is a second career in a way. Your first impression before hearing anything might be "Starbucks CD". But "Harbor" is in 5/4, "Level Up" is in 7/4, and a few other songs with prog moments and interesting chord changes, and I have to admit, that's the hook that brought me in.

The Eleven is so named because it is in 11/4 time
Truckin and The Other One are in 12/8 time
There's a section of By-Tor and the Snow Dog by Rush called 7/4 War Furor so called for it's time signature.

I dislike Kimigayo (Japanese anthem) and God Save the Queen (British anthem, and by extension Oben am jungen Rhein, the anthem of Liechtenstein, as it has the same tune) as I don't find them suitable for national anthems. Heck, I would like the former to be played at my funeral, no offense intended. Also, while I respect it as it is the anthem of my country, I don't like the Marcha Real simply because it has no lyrics.

Wiggle-Jason Derulo
I use to hate this song, but once I realized that no one in the song and video is taking themselves seriously, it became a lot more fun.
I have a friend from college who reviews pop songs online, and he's hilarious has a pretty decent following. His name is Todd in the Shadows. I bring him up because he reviewed four of the songs you mentioned and was not a fan of any of them.
iPhone
Of course I found Todd (he is back on YouTube/Vimeo now that Blip shut down) way before I actually looked in this thread. (though after this post) Ironically, he used "Wiggle" as a part of his explanation of why "Marvin Gaye" by Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor was his number one worst song of 2015.

Cheap Thrills is pretty bad. I can't wait until I don't have to hear it on the radio anymore.
Todd recently reviewed this one along with "This Is What You Came For" by Calvin Harris ft Rihanna. (as "Cheap Thrills" was written by Sia for Rihanna)
I have noticed that I feel like something is missing when I hear the version without Sean Paul for some reason. (though I am unsure why he is on a remix in the first place, or has a guest verse on a Little Mix song called "Hair")

There are a couple of songs that came out back in 1988, "Waiting For a Star to Fall" and "Hands to Heaven" that are so lovey-dovey and sappy and I shudder every time they come on.

I've got another! You know that song "Hot Hot Hot"? The guy from the New York Dolls sang that one. If you've seen the miniseries Vinyl you'll know that The Dolls were legendary. Then David Johansen sorta ruined his career by doing the Buster Poindexter thing. That song is so annoying!

I'll go out on a limb and say that he earned far more money doing Buster Poindexter than he ever did with the New York Dolls (ended up in Scrooged, too).
There's a fun little documentary on Arthur Kane from the Dolls called New York Doll. Gets into his complicated relationship with David Johansen.

I have yet another. Just yesterday morning, "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain came on my radio station. My deal with that song is the same as "Waiting For a Star to Fall" and "Hands to Heaven". All three of those songs happen to have saxophones in them, but that's not why I don't like those songs. It's just that I don't like adult contemporary-style love songs.

I refuse to listen to "7 Years" by Lukas Graham or anything else they put out. Just plain bad. Same thing with "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" by Meghan Trainor (her duet with John Legend). The latter is vastly overplayed, too.
I also dislike a good portion of Christmas music, especially before mid December. It's all the radio stations play around that time, and it's all the same five or so songs, just covered by different artists. My least favorite Christmas song, though, is Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" - ugh! And it's overplayed by basically every radio station - even my favorite oldies station plays it frequently and it came out in 1994.
I like Sean Hannity's show, but this song needs to be retired immediately. I 100% agree with you.
The thing for me is that even though a song might be very poor in lyrical content (as is the case with most modern pop music), after a few listens in most cases I no longer dislike it and might actually listen to it willingly; a good example of this would be "Cake by the Ocean" by DNCE - surely everyone remembers that song from earlier this year. The only problem is that this starts to happen when the song starts dropping in chart position, meaning the number of plays left is numbered.
The kind of music I like varies - there are some very good songs by the Beatles and others in the 1960s, and there are some good songs out now too (a good one from 2006 is "Apologize" by OneRepublic, but only this version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm0T7_SGee4) - the remixed version they included on their album doesn't have the same charm, and Timbaland's version, which became a #2 hit in late 2007/early 2008, killed the bridge and added completely unnecessary grunting noises in the background). Most of my favorite music is from the 1980s though, and it comprises a good mix of pop and rock songs. My favorite song at the moment is "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar - fitting for a roadgeek, isn't it? ;) :D

Usually the lyrics are what ruins a song for me. (see "Cake by the Ocean" by DNCE, "Starving" by Hailee Steinfeld & Grey ft Zedd, "7 Years" and probably anything by Lukas Graham, anything by Meghan Trainor, Charlie Puth, Train, etc.) Taylor Swift can seem to get away with mediocre lyrics for me at times though.
Having said that, this year has been so bad on the Hot 100 that good production makes up for a lot more than it usually does. (this is the complete opposite for "Gold" from Kiiara, which has the hook basically have vocal effects of the verses)

I definitely think the lyrics can make or break a song. A cheesy, lovey-dovey pop song probably won't do well in my rankings, regardless of the production or the beat.
In general, I do like Taylor Swift, but like many artists she has good songs and bad ones. I like "I Knew You Were Trouble", and the version of "Bad Blood" without the rap is mega-catchy (though the version with the rap is terrible). "New Romantics" is a good song through about 2:30 (correct me if I'm off on that), but the third verse falls flat; "Wildest Dreams" just plain isn't a very good song. It seems a little too raunchy for her.
So you're definitely right: the lyrics are an important part of a song, just like production, beat, and even structure and length.

Actually IMO, "Bad Blood" without the rap is her worst song. For me, Kendrick Lamar saves the song despite Taylor's lackluster chorus. (especially the part where both perform the bridge)

Isn't there a cartoon movie by the same where the Grandma gets run over, the family things she is dead but really she lost her memory and it turns out Santa was just keeping her in the North Pole the entire time? I want to say the Nostalia Critic reviewed it or something, the closet hit-and-run abduction thing was unintentionally hilarious.

The thing I hate about this song is how she repeatedly splits one- or two-syllable words across three notes. I feel like if you can't get the syllables to line up with the notes correctly, you should rewrite your lyrics.

I really like hop-hop and R&B music, but I'm not a big fan of the new song "Black Beetles". I think it's pretty overrated and way overplayed.

The thing I hate about this song is how she repeatedly splits one- or two-syllable words across three notes. I feel like if you can't get the syllables to line up with the notes correctly, you should rewrite your lyrics.
You think Ms. Swift's polysyllabic tendencies are bad -- the grand master of all time was Steve Perry of Journey. Listen to any of their albums 1976-82 for countless examples of that trait!

OK, which version of Lindsey Buckingham's huge riff are you talking about -- the original studio album, where he simply repeated the basic signature E note for each beat for 9 measures (a nice feat in itself), or the 1997 live reunion album, where he did a tremolo-aided multi-note riff (another instant classic solo effort). LB's one of the great, if underappreciated, guitar maestros -- just listen to his solo on "I'm So Afraid" (both studio & live versions).

"My Hero Zero," has become quite the earworm, thanks to Volkswagen.

How about the other rocker named Steve (Tyler of Aerosmith)? He did this too, especially on Don't Wanna Miss a Thing, which is actually one of my favorite songs by them.

I remember when this song was all over the radio...I want to say early 2000's. This song was nothing special but then it became overplayed as all hell. So annoying.
One of my favorite things to do now, is whenever I'm listening to the radio and I hear Green Day open their song with "Do you have the time to listen to me whine?" I yell out "NOPE" and change the channel.

This song is #24 on the Hot 100 (http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100) this week and was released as a single on October 21st (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockabye_(song)) of last year unless that first statement was also referring to the Green Day song. I just am not comfortable with a song stating "Rockabye Baby" as it refers to the nursery rhyme.
The songs that are annoying me at the moment are "Play That Song" by Train (I think I preferred the stupid lyrics in "Hey Soul Sister" over these generic lyrics) and "Issues" by Julia Michaels (even if I could fully justify the lyrics, I cannot stand her voice at all).

When you mentioned Rockabye, I thought you were mentioning the late 90's Shawn Mullins hit, but then I realized it was called Lullaby. But now that falsetto "Ever-ee things gonna be alright, Rockabye, Rockabyeye" is stuck in my head.
And the Green Day song that was referred to is called "Basket Case". Takes me back to my senior year.

Youve probably heard the list of songs every rock band must know (i.e. Freebird), but why is it that it seems like every coffeehouse band/artist that does a version of Supertramp's "Give A Little Bit" or Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" automatically gets radio airplay?

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody- I hate the the choir type of operatic verses in the song, plus if you listen to the lyrics it is about giving up on life and not wanting to live. Not even a Rock Song although it may be classified as one.
Rhapsody was pretty good until Wayne's World discovered it
Mann made a career off of old Springsteen songs, but he couldn't even get the words right.

Speaking of Freebird, I just threw up in my mouth as I thought of that Will to Power "Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird" medley.
Also the Jose Feliciano version of Light My Fire (Lightmyfirelightmyfirelightmyfirrrrrrrre) is not the greatest, but not nearly as bad as this:

"Laid" (james), ensures nobody will get. Some JACKASS actually played this twice in a row on 9/10/01 and I had a very bad feeling. American Pie (glad I dont own a gun). Bob Seger and Bruce Springsteen. Cool guys, just kant stand most/all of their crap. Does MJ have ANY songs I have not heard 19M times? "I wanna dance with somebody who loves me"? Twice within 30 minutes and I wanna cry and vomit at the same time. (have not vomitted for 39 years?) Pretty much every over played POS anthem there is.

"HandClap" by Fitz and the Tantrums, mainly a guilty pleasure for me due to the groove

Old music/old person perspective follows:
- Many tracks by Led Zeppelin were run into the ground by programmers of "album-oriented rock" radio of the 1970's, so I do not want to hear them any more, especially "Black Dog." Sad, because this band put out a lot of good music.
- "Waiting for a Girl like You" by Foreigner was similarly and massively overplayed in the 1980's.
- "Lowdown" by Boz Scaggs was also played into oblivion.
- Never cared for anything by Bob Seger.
- Justin Bieber does nothing for me at all.

Yeah, even Robert Plant wants to vomit to "Stairway to Heaven",
The Killers, Mr Brightside etal? Buh-bye.
Way TOO much CRAP country. where to start? "I love this bar"?. NOT for long. Katie, open the doors.
Pretty much, Touchtunes SUX.

To each their own. I can't stand most pop or soft-rock music, but others think Metallica is just noise.

I just hate the extreme ends of the spectrum. At one end you have the put you to sleep sappy soft love songs (especially those of the 70's and 80's) that make your ears cringe. At the other end you have Death Metal where it's just basically loud noise and someone screaming like something out of The Exorcist. Metallica is on the heavy side, but at least I can decipher James Hetfield's voice. So essentially, my idea of musical hell would be a Death Metal version of You Light Up My Life.

Coming out of the closet here, I'm into bands like Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, etc. I can handle slow songs (used to be into jazz/classical), but if all it is is cliche love songs, I'm not listening. I hate pop and country and prefer heavy metal.
I've posted many times throughout this thread, but my earlier posts are from before I discovered Metallica.

Soft rock is boring :sleep:.
And modern pop isn't? I'd take a soft rock radio station over even the best-programmed pop one anyday. :rolleyes:
As do I. I want to be able to enjoy the music I listen to, not feel bored or sad.
On that note, "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon is in my opinion a pretty average, 5/10 song, but it would be better if the first verse was tweaked a bit and split into two or even three verses, the hardness (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness) was more to the tune of 4 instead of 2, and the tempo was a bit faster.
My favorite ranges on the hardness scale would be 2.5-5.0, though I can go down to 1.5-2 and up to 6 without much complaint.

Most music after 1986. Although there are some good music after that (All Star, Seven Nation Army, Train(band)), most I believe is absolute bullcrap. Everything is synthesized, on a drum machine, auto tuned, processed, and if the song has any actual instruments, the job is done poorly. I hate new country music that talks about being in their pickup-truck drinking beer with their girlfriend in the cornfield. The old stuff (Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Gene Autry, etc.) I have nothing against. I hate Carry on My Wayward Song by Kansas, The Carpenters, and We Built this City. I personally like rock music from the 60s, 70s, and very early 80s.

Your loss, not ours. Don't judge a genre or generation of music by how a handful of radio conglomerates decided what's good for you. Since you're young, I'm going to assume you're just borrowing someone else's opinions.
There's lots of great music that doesn't get a second of radio play.

I'm in my late 60's, but still find some post-'86 stuff very musically intriguing. Grunge rock is particularly noteworthy; I have most of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Psychedelic Furs, Candlebox, etc. in my collection (LP when I can lay my hands on them, CD otherwise). Also like Metallica (to the point, and well-recorded). Otherwise, much of my collection is classic ('64-'85) rock (disco notably excluded except for Donna Summer!). Curiously, my daughter got me into listening to Outkast and Korn in the early '90's -- gotta cherry-pick the material, but still listenable!
What I generally abhor: Starship after Paul Kantner left and took the "Jefferson" with him (pablum rock: "We Built This City" is one of the shittiest compositions ever foisted on an audience), later Journey (post "Escape"), and generally re-generations of previously outstanding groups. Speaking of Jefferson Airplane and co-conspirators, that's one group that sounds better with remixes & reissues than the original vinyl (due to the godawful RCA "Dynagroove" LP's of the 60's/70's). GF got me a 180-gram remix of "Crown of Creation" last Xmas -- pristine compared to the original; there's not another album that captures the 1968 mood as well as that one! Peace be with you, man!

Kind of strange, I suppose, but I'd agree - especially with the non-rap 'Indie' stuff from the past ten years or so. There are many very strong 1980s influences in a lot of it.

So did The Grateful Dead. They had songs in 7/4, 11/4, 10/8, and 12/8. The first part of Rush's Cygnus X-1 is 3/4, 7/8, back to 3/4, and 4/4. By-Tor and the Snow Dog has a section called 7/4 War Furor based on time signature

I always hated the Outfield's Your Love only because it sounded like the band's other hit at the time Say It Isn't So that I really liked and of course it is not. I mean that I thought it was a tease because for some reason after a few of the lines of the song you want the band to go into the chorus for Say It Isn't So.
I guess it could be almost like Jewel's You Were Meant For Me and Who Will Save Your Soul with similar music, but only on a smaller scale.

Well, you're lucky to have that songs as terrible... I don't like them either, but they are way better than the music that now is trendy in Spain: reggaeton (Songs made usually in South American countries, with repetitive and catchy melodies and crappy lyrics that could be written by eight year-olds, often saying nothing except partying, alcohol and treating women as objects. And sometimes they don't even bother to at least make them rhyme! They say the genre derives from reggae, though I doubt it, reggae is way better than that) They're all the time in the radio, TV and social networks and every new song is even worse than the previous. I like lots of different kinds of music (I can jump from Debussy to Rage Against the Machine) but that's the only one I can't deal with, not because of the melody (which is usually bad but bearable); but for the badly done, sexist lyrics.
Here are two of them I particularly dislike:

I'm not crazy about the stuff with the keyboards, especially as compared to their earlier stuff, but what hard rock/heavy metal contemporary bands of theirs from the late 70s/early 80s do you like?

Manfred Mann's Blinded By The Light - So weary of that particular song as it has been played for over 35 years constantly.
Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody- I hate the the choir type of operatic verses in the song, plus if you listen to the lyrics it is about giving up on life and not wanting to live. Not even a Rock Song although it may be classified as one.
Fully agreed on the first one, fully disagreed on the second one. I picked up an appreciation for the latter because it was exactly the length of my commute from home to work about a decade ago - driveway to parking spot - give or take a few seconds. Usually I was pulling up the parking brake lever just as the final "nothing really matters..." was crooning out from Freddie Mercury.
Before I had high-speed internet, I timer recorded most of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me on audio tape because I had to start work about 20 minutes after it started on a Saturday. I would listen to it on my late evening 10 mile commute the next night. It's amazing that every time I listened to it, I would arrive home right before the third and usually deciding "Not My Job" question.

I absolutely disdain the new trend of mixing country with rap. In fact, I dislike a lot of modern rap. It all just sounds the same.
My favorite genre is rock (doesn't really matter what kind it is). That being said though, I can't stand death metal where the singer is just screaming gibberish at a super low pitch. Living Sacrifice is a great example of that.
I also disdain a ton of Christmas songs; "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas", "Baby It's Cold Outside", and "Oh, Christmas Tree" come to mind. My favorite Christmas song, though, has to be "White Christmases in Houston" by Branded.

That song isn't really supposed to make sense; The White Album was the peak of their experimentation, so while you have the classics like While My Guitar Gently Weeps, you also get the weird shit like Wild Honey Pie and Why Don't We Do It In the Road, and of course Revolution 9. It's been described as "four albums under one roof" given the four members increasingly growing into their own separate styles that would be one of the long list of reasons for their dissolution in 1969-1970, and giving credence to the "four albums" suggestion, it's the most diverse Beatles album genre-wise; you have blues, calypso, folk ballads, British music hall, hard rock, experimental soundscapes, lush orchestral passages, country rock, really no two songs on the album sound remotely alike.

I think I like Revolver the best though with Taxman, Doctor Robert and Tomorrow Never Knows and my all-time favorite Beatles song Got To Get You Into My Life. You could honestly name all their albums and I probably have 3 or 4 songs off each one I like. The White Album though was their 9th album and their only double album so that one has a lot on it.

Sometimes, music becomes an acquired taste. I could not stand Led Zeppelin when I was in high school. Ditto for Queen. (Yeah, I know, two of the most classic rock bands of the 70s.). I finally acquiesced to Zep when I was a senior in high school, and Queen a couple of years later.
Ditto for individual songs. I liked Dokken, but wasn't really a fan of their "Breaking the Chains" song until a band made up of friends of mine played it.
But I don't think I will ever come around to liking "The Crunge."
Now, where's that confounded bridge?

"Bridge" is actually the origin of title of the song Badge by Cream.
George Harrison and Eric Clapton were sitting across the table from each other, and George Harrison had written "bridge" next to the bridge section of the song. Reading it upside-down, Eric Clapton misread the word as "badge". The song didn't have a name yet at that point, and that's the name it ended up with.

Well since I have not given my 2 cents worth yet on this topic, here's a list of artists that make me want to violently throw up. There will be some "favorites" of other people here.
First and foremost, ANYTHING by Rush that has Geddy Lee vocals. They are great musically with their instruments but Geddy sings like someone put his balls in a vice grip.
Next, Radiohead except for Creep. The band to me in general is hawt garbage.
Beatles pre 1965. Too much teeny bopper bubble gum crap. Twist and Shout was the exception. Then Rubber Soul came out and it was a work of art.
Billy Ray Cyrus, take your Achy Breaky Heart and go drown somewhere. Take Miley with you.
Then there are some songs that have been covered that should never have been covered, let along the versions of some are just God awful. Case in point, Madonna covering Don McLean's American Pie. Not even fun bad. Just bad.
And as much as I love Sheryl Crow, her cover of Sweet Child of Mine is really bad. Don't make me like Axel Rose more than you Sheryl. Please?

That high pitch (falsetto?) largely went away during the late 1980s. I don't know whether that was a combination of age taking its toll on his voice, the musical style changing, or both. Of course, I consider the late 80s to be their worst period musically (especially "Hold Your Fire" and "Power Windows") but by the time "Presto" came out, his voice was considerably lower. Check out how far "2112" was tuned down on the "Different Stages" album.
And his solo album is a far cry (pun intended) from the days of "Working Man" and "Anthem" and "Bastille Day" in terms of vocals.

Man people really hate that era of Rush, basically until Test for Echo came out. I don't mind it though I know it's not as good as the earlier or later stuff.

There are plenty of songs I hate, but the worst is Fight for your right to party by Beastie Boys. I find that obnoxious in many ways.

They're actually still pumping out a great album every year, unlike most bands from their era.Quote from: hbelkins on October 08, 2014, 10:58:20 AM
Speaking of Christian music, Stryper wasn't all that bad of a hair band.
They were pretty bad. No, they weren't as bad as Trixter or Firehouse, but they were worse than Poison and Warrant.
When I was in 9th and 10th grade, I exclusively listened to pop metal like Poison and Def Leppard. I then started slowly getting into real heavy metal like Judas Priest and Megadeth. I graduated high school in 1992, which means Nirvana broke through during my senior year, so by the end of the year I had been fully exposed to alternative music, and it quickly became my favorite "genre" (it is a very broad umbrella term) even though I still liked a lot of metal. I was first exposed to alternative music by Alice in Chains, Jane's Addiction and Faith No More. I am in my late 40s, and I still listen to 90% of the music I listened to when I was 20, plus a lot more. The kids in the class ahead of me still listened to pop metal, while the kids in the class below me abandoned pop metal for alternative rock by the time they graduated. It happened fast. One day pop metal was extremely popular, and the next day, nobody would admit they ever liked it. I completely lost interest in pop metal once I started listening to Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Nine Inch Nails. I then discovered Radiohead, Tori Amos, the Catherine Wheel, Failure, R.E.M., the Deftones, Tricky, Tool, The Prodigy, and many other bands. In the last 10 years, I've discovered Porcupine Tree, Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age, and my current favorite, Deafheaven. I still listen to a lot of old school heavy metal like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath/Ozzy/Dio, Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost and stuff like that. I never got into subgenres, but I like most thrash metal bands. The funny thing about thrash is that I heavily got into Metallica when I was about 16. They were my favorite band. I had all their CDs, several shirts, posters, a baseball cap and a necklace with their name and logo on them. My first concert was Metallica in Shreveport, LA on the "Metallica" album tour in 1992. James Hetfield was the first influence on my own guitar playing. But, I started to lose interest in the band not too long after graduating high school, and by the time they sued their fans, I wasn't that much of a fan. I still like other thrash bands like Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies (when they were a thrash band), Testament, Exodus and many others. Much later on, when I was in college, I finally learned to appreciate Johnny Cash, and now I listen to him, Merle and Willie, but I have disdain for most country, including virtually everything post 1980 and I abhor pop country. I also don't like reggae, bluegrass, polka, nü metal, disco, ska, ragtime, radio pop music and jam band music. I'm a music snob and I'm not ashamed of it. If you don't think you have the best taste in music of anybody in the world, you're doing it wrong.

The thing I hate about this song is how she repeatedly splits one- or two-syllable words across three notes. I feel like if you can't get the syllables to line up with the notes correctly, you should rewrite your lyrics.
You think Ms. Swift's polysyllabic tendencies are bad -- the grand master of all time was Steve Perry of Journey. Listen to any of their albums 1976-82 for countless examples of that trait!Quote from: J Route Z on December 23, 2016, 02:52:42 AM
It used to be "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac. But for some reason, I can't stop listening to it. The guitar solo at the end is so badass, I just didn't really appreciate it before. I can't stand Like a Virgin and Vogue by Madonna.
OK, which version of Lindsey Buckingham's huge riff are you talking about -- the original studio album, where he simply repeated the basic signature E note for each beat for 9 measures (a nice feat in itself), or the 1997 live reunion album, where he did a tremolo-aided multi-note riff (another instant classic solo effort). LB's one of the great, if underappreciated, guitar maestros -- just listen to his solo on "I'm So Afraid" (both studio & live versions).
Lindsey Buckingham is pretty good at the guitar. His vocals are hit or miss.

"Imagine" is about the most depressing song I've ever heard, musically and lyrically. As far as I'm concerned, the Beatles are far overrated. The Stones were better, and I've soured on them some as the years have progressed.
The only reason I went to see the "Sgt. Pepper" movie when it came out was for Aerosmith playing "Come Together."

I'll give my least favorite song by my favorite band. The Beatles and the song is Wild Honey Pie. All it is is about a minute of Paul singing wild honey pie over and over. The song makes no sense.
Love the Beatles, hate Love Me Do & Lucy in the Sky & Oh Darling. Long Long Long may be their worst and everyone loves it.

The album version of Pink Floyd's Another Brick Part Two. It has no intro like the single so radio stations play the scream from Happiest Days of Our Lives due to the quick segues between the two. Then they always end the song with the sigh that starts Mother. Instead of stopping it at the last ring tone, they due a one second tease making you think that Mother will be played also.
WPLJ in NY back when they were Rock, had the best mix of all three parts and new how to blend them together for a great song. Of course they sacrificed the ending of Part Two and cross faded Part 3 pronto so you didn't get the sound effects and the men yelling, but a great version.

I would argue that Linkin Park is more rock than some bands that have a "classic rock" label to them. Crawlin, Numb and Breaking the Habit certainly are big sounding rock songs.

To be fair, "The Beatles" could be considered a misspelling. My understanding is that "beetles" was their answer to Buddy Holly's "Crickets". But I won't hold it against them.
Along these same lines, bands whose members don't play their own instruments (exception granted for a lead vocalist).

They were originally the Silver Beetles, but allegedly John Lennon had a dream where "a man came on a flaming pie and told me you are now 'Beatles' with an 'A', and that was that". Paul McCartney eventually released a solo album titled "Flaming Pie".

The Beatles were originally The Quarrymen. Stuart Sutcliffe suggested they change their name to the Beatals as a tribute to Buddy Holly & The Crickets. They only used the name the Silver Beetles for a few months before changing the spelling of Beetles to Beatles, then about a month later became The Beatles. And the band consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Pete Best. They replaced Pete Best with Ringo Starr in August 1962.
