My goodness, how come no one's mentioned the Black Eyed Peas's Hump Song yet? Guess I'm a little young! But seriously, compared to the other songs I've seen on this list so far "My Hump" is by FAR the worst...plus it's on the radio so much the you can't help but getting the incessant lyrics stuck in your head.

Teenagers need a music revolution. Today's top sixty list is absolute crap.

Misty, I agree with you.

My teenage daughter is constantly amazed that I know the words to many of the latest songs. She is horrified when I tell her it is because they are just re-makes of songs that were popular decades ago when I was young. And remakes are rarely as good as the originals, in my humble opinion.

This has actually led my daughter to discovering, and liking, music by Alice Cooper, Queen and other groups her friends have never heard of. Now I am constantly hearing "Mum, can I burn a copy of your Alice Cooper CD?"

Heh, I actually quite like the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, but I think it has something to do with my childhood. I'm not sure.

While I quite like Iron Butterfly (though the lyrics of Ina Gada Da Vida may leave something to be desired, I think the music itself was quite inspired for it's time, and helped to transform a whole genre of rock. But I also know that most people probably don't agree with me), I will say that at least one song on the flip side of the album with Ina Gada Da Vida, namely My Mirage, might be one of the worst songs of all time. Also, the song Flowers and Beads, from the same album. *shudder*

I can easily agree with a lot of the other songs already mentioned, too. Although I don't actually dislike Bohemian Rhapsody, it's also a long way from anywhere near my favorite Queen song (I'm really partial to the Prophet's Song, which is the first song on side B of Night at the Opera, and I have a soft spot for Killer Queen...) But I really hate Fat Bottomed Girls. Hate. With passion.

There are so many really horrible and worthless songs out there right now that I don't even think it's worth mentioning them. They're so unremarkable they don't deserve to be on the list. But if we go a little further back, to my childhood, we can find some real doozies. Like Ice Ice Baby, for instance. That song drives me mad, and the worst part is I remember every word of it. It was like some freakish background music to my life for about 3 months after it was released. I hated it even then. Also, I'll add Babe by Styx. Another band I quite like, but Babe is so... so... words cannot describe the horror of that song.

And Mothergoose, I don't have teenage children, but I know plenty of people who do. A coworker's three teenagers were in love with Limp Bizkit's new song, Behind Blue Eyes... And my coworker, who is almost 50, couldn't remember who the original artist was!

"Lothruin, do you know who did that song first? My kids don't believe it's a remake."
"Yes, Who did that song."
"What?"
"No, Who."
"Who?"
"Yes."
"Yes?"
"No, Who."

It was quite fun. Right out of a Shel Silverstein poem.

"Lets Have A Beer With Duncan" and unfortunately Bendigo radio played that song over and over when it first came out (and I think was on the Top 40!). I hated it so much that I have been known to throw the radio once - just could not take it anymore! Solved the problem of having to listen to the song - but unfortunately I could not listen to anything else.

Ah come on - Duncan's Your Mate!!!!

I still have a huge hatred for that song - that causes me to rant and rave. Though I have mellowed out in my old age. Thank goodness I do not know anyone call Duncan and if I did I doubt he would be my mate!

I did have a workmate named Duncan at that time, and he liked a beer, too...

I have even been to the pub that the song was written about!

That tremendous steaming pile of cack that made it to number one in this country. "Call on Me", "by" Eric Prydz. He basically put a reverberating dance beat over it.

And don't even get me started on the crazy frog.

I have to agree that that 'Lady lumps' song is absolutely appalling and whoever wrote it should be locked in a room with it playing for the rest of time. I also can't stand that song by Sean Paul (I think) that sounds like it saying 'We be gurning'. I'm sure it doesn't say that but it grinds on my last nerve anyway.

I find that Humping song (or whatever) kind of amusing. Mainly because I see so many people on the streets round here taking it seriously...

Most of you are thinking of songs that were popular. I've got a single in my collection that wasn't popular, did get a little airplay, is terrible, but whenever I play it to anyone, it gets a giggle and a roll of the eyes - 'The Lost Sheep' by Adrian Munsey. It consists of an orchestral backing with a flock of sheep supplying the 'lead' over the top. It's so bad, it's hilarious!

I despise the following genres of music:
1. Rap
2. Hip Hop
3. Urban
4. R'n'B
5. Dance
6. Some pop
7. Country
8. Blues
9. Opera

As you can see I hate quite a lot of music. There are only really 3 types of music I can listen to without wanting to stab myself: All types of Rock, Classical and Jazz.
