It doesn't have to be the 10 songs you hate the most, just any 10 songs that you can't stand. Here's 10 of mine (in no particular order): 1) "Hey Jude"-The Beatles 2) "Yellow Submarine"-The Beatles 3) "Sweet Caroline"-Neil Diamond 4) "Red Red Wine"-Neil Diamond (the UB40 version is good though) 5) "Smooth Criminal"-Alien Ant Farm (the original version by Michael Jackson is good though) 6) "I Will Always Love You"-Whitney Houston (I love Whitney, but I never liked this song) 7) "Sometimes"-Britney Spears (actually, ANY song by her is terrible) 8) "What's Going On"-All-Star Tribute (another terrible remake, but the original version by Marvin Gaye is good) 9) "Hey There Lonely Girl"-Eddie Holman 10) "Pardon Me"-Incubus

...hmmm, as a Beatles fan, I have to sigh a little at that  . But I appreciate that we're not all the same. That's why there are so many songs that I like that everybody else hates, and vice-versa. I'll see If I can get up to 10.... 1) Khe Sanh - Cold Chisel (does anyone outside of Australia know this song? I have nothing against the actual song, but too many bad memories related to it!!) 2) Be Faithful - I don't know how sings it. It's that bloody chickenhead song. 'Nuff Said 3) Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Meatloaf (what makes it worse? I know all the words! ) 4) Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus 5) That Butterfly Kisses Song? 6) Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? - Anyone Who Ever Did It!! 7) U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer 8) Macarena - who thought that was a good idea? 9) Last Kiss - Pearl Jam (don't hate me folks!!) Pearl Jam are cool. The song is very pretty. Pearl Jam should not have sung this song!! 10) Anything Britney. I'm sorry. She has the potential to be a great singer. As soon as she gets over her little supertramp stage I may be able to take her seriously. ...Now, before anyone gets cut with me, I'm not saying that any of these songs are bad. They're just not my cup of tea.

I have to agree with Drewski about Alien Ant Farm. Nauseating! Apart from that, off the top of my head.... 1) "5,6,7,8" - Steps (The work of Satan, undeniably) 2) "Daydream" - Mariah Carey (For sampling Tom Tom Club's wonderful "Genius Of Love", and for being Mariah) 3) "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" - Whitney Houston (Because I like the damn song, and I don't want to) 4) "My Heart Will Go On" - Celine Dion 5) "Simply The Best" - Tina Turner (Hear 50,000 Rangers supporters slurring this and you'll hate it too) 6) "Ebony & Ivory" - Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder (Thank you for ending racism Mr McCartney, there are no limits to your talents) 7) "American Pie" - Madonna (She must have been on hallucinogenic drugs when she did this) 8) "Suzanne" - Leonard Cohen (Not because it's a bad song, but because the manager in one of my favourite pubs plays Lennie's greatest hits at really inappropriate times, and this is the first track) 9) "Zombie" - The Cranberries 10) "One" - U2 (I wish that man would stop bleating. Bono, you're not the messiah and you're not even a very naughty boy) ...and there are a million more.

1. "MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris-a stupid song "sung" by a no-talent "singer". 2. "My Way" by Frank Sinatra-Paul Anka made this version of a French song, just a lot of I've-gotta-be-me macho nonsense. Junk like this really hurt Frank artistically. 3."In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly-My top choice for All-Time Worse Heavy Metal Song. Just drones on and on! 4."Sing" by the Carpenters-WAAAYYY too sacharine!!!! 5. Almost any thing by Neil Diamond and the Osmonds. "One Bad Apple" is one BAD song! At least the early Jackson Five rocked! And worst among Diamond's drek is "Heartlight"! Yuk! 6.(tie) "The Girl, The Rain and Other Things" by the Cowsills" and "I Think I Love You" by the Partridge Family. And to think the Partridges were based on the Cowsills!!!! 7."Grease" by Frankie Valli-The title theme to the Hollywood travesty of the stage musical...still sounds like disco to me! And the stuff he did with the Four Seasons is just as bad! And I defy anyone to tell them and the BeeGees apart! 8. "San Fransico" by Scott MacKenzie-Hippy-dippy crud with that twinky celesta! Oh for an hour of the Rolling Stones! 9.(three-way tie) "Yummy Yummy Yummy" by Ohio Express, "Simon Says" by 1910 Fruitgum Company and "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies-over-sweetened bubblegum that would even make the Monkkes vomit! 10. (tie) "Feelings" by Morris Albert and "I Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher-Sorry, Morris, all I feel is SICK! Same with that twee hippie twaddle from S & C ! tjoeb};>

1. remake of The Beat Goes On- Britney Spears 2. remake of Satisfaction- Britney again(If someone can't remake a song and do it right, they shouldn't do it at all. "Satisfaction" is song where the lyrics can't be replaced with what Britney says. 3. Baby Got Back- Sir-Mix-a-Lot (there is nothing attractive about what he sings about.) 4. Truth- Janet Jackson (it's like 7 minutes long!) 5. Viva Forever- Spice Girls (some of their stuff was ok, though) 6. Dangerously in Love- Destiny's Child (repeats monotonously for the last minute) 7. any song by NSYNC, BSB, O-Town, and the rest 8. any of those old country songs 9. My Wild Frontier- Faith Hill 10. those songs they play like, a million times on the radio. 11. Any song by Britney, Christina, Mandy, and company. I do not like almost any R&B or rap song. Modern pop music is about as worse.I could list a lot more...By the way, I love "Yellow Submarine"!Why does no one like "Jaded"? I love that song as well.I also like "My Sacrifice".

1) Tragedy-The Bee Gees (oh, my is this one is a tragedy !!) 2) Achy Breaky Heart-Billy Ray Cyrus (aaaarrrrrgghhh !!) 3) Friends in Low Places (Garth at his worst) 4) so far, anything by Britney Spears 5) so far, anything by Eminem 6) Do Ya think I'm Sexy-Rod Stewart (NO !) 7) Another Brick in the Wall-Pink Floyd (just overplayed and overblown-like most of their other stuff but this one got on my nerves) 8) that blasted duet between Barbra Striesand and Celine Dion, so sachrine that I did not even bother to remember the title. 9) ANYTHING by Marilyn Manson 10) I Love the Nightlife-Alicia Bridges (Disco still stinks !!)

This is just SO entertaining, really made me laugh, VENT THAT SPLEEN! I think Alien Ant Farm are GREAT, fantastic videos and I think they're really sweet. And Pink Floyd, overblown? I think I'm going to cry! ;-) Here's a few I thought of: 1. Eagles "Peaceful easy Feeling": I'm with the Dude in the Big Lebowski ;-) 2. Jennifer Rush "The Power of Love". 3. REO Speedwagon "Keep on Lovin You": pretentious junk. 4. Phil Collins "Both Sides of the Story": fatuous lyrics, really bugged me at the time. 5. Bon Jovi "Wanted Dead or Alive": this one really gets me! 6. Spice Girls "Wannabee": irritating rubbish, girl-power my a*** !! 7. K7 "Come Baby Come": If I didn't love him so much I'd never forgive him for having a CD single of this! 8. Anything by Andrew Lloyd-Webber: can't choose one, they all make my skin crawl. 9. "American Pie" by Madonna: pathetic, unnecessary cover version of a wonderful song. 10. The Byrds "Mr Tambourine Man": see comment to 9. In fact, can anyone name a song that Roger McGuinn actually WROTE??

1. Anything by Air Supply - What were they thinking???? 2. Anything by REO Speedwagon - See #1 3. Anthing by Marylin Manson 4. Anything by Meatloaf 5. Any song that uses the words "bling-bling" 6. That song that John "revolting" Travolta did in the 70's 7. "Achey Breaky Heart" or any other song that involves mulletts and cowboy boots. 8. Macarena - enough said 9. "Ice Ice Baby" Vanilla Ice. How dare he rip off David Bowie!!! 10. "Hero" Enrique Iglesias Who told him he could sing? These are just the 10 worst ones I could think of off the top of my head, I could gladly come up with hundreds more.

It was "Valley Girl" by Moon Unit Zappa, Frank's daughter. Started a fad for Val-Gal slang and inspired the movie of the same name. tjoeb};>

Hey Ren33, your no 10 wasn't good ole Bobby Goldsboro with "Honey," was it ? (You could add "Summer the first time" - "the boy took her hand & I saw the sun rise as a man !") What about : Jambalaya - Carpenters If I said you had a beautiful body - (Bellamy Bros ?) Whole of Tusk album - Fleetwood Mac My old piano - Diana Ross Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkel Most Ted Nugent Most Showaddywaddy hits Mouldy old dough - Lieutenant Pigeon All the Bay City rollers (& most of the boy bands since) Don't get me started ....

Stevo, I agree with you about 'If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body,' yuck! I'll add to this list 'Macarena' and 'Who Let the Dogs Out.' And the winner of the "anything by" category is Def Lepard.

Hey this is great! Actually, I kind of like achy breaky heart because it's so funny. However, these aren't 1. I will Always Love You (Whitney H): unbelievable noises coming from a human being. This one really gives me a nosebleed. Woah. for some reason they always play this in restaurants just as I'm about to start eating my lunch. 2. Just Another Lemon Tree(I have no idea and I con't care) 3. American Pie (Madonna): ditto to all abuse listed above. 4. Another Brick in the Wall (PF): repetitious and plodding and I'm a teacher and I DON'T think it's funny. 5. Zavolej mi (Holki): You probably won't know this unless you are Czech, for which you should devoutly thank the deity of your choice. 6. Sugar Sugar (Archies): Oldie but Foulie 7. Stairway to Heaven (Led Zepplin): Actually, it's probably a really good song but the first time I got really drunk that song was playing over and over. Nuff said. 8. Ice Ice Baby (Ice Cube): oh please. 9. My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion): Too sentimental, Celine makes too many funny noises with her mouth. 10. Memories (Barbra S.): ????? What can I say/

1)Livin' La Vida Loca=Ricky Martin (*shudders*) 2)Crush=Jennifer Paige(When it first came out....every five minutes on the radio! oy!) 3)On A Night Like This=Trick Pony(no talking in songs! SING!) 4)Austin=Blake Shelton(?) See #2 5)Marc Anthony songs I know that's only five but it's all I can think of right now.

Such sacriledge, people! ' Stairway to Heaven' on someones worst song list...ouch! But as has already been noted, taste is a very personal thing. So let me add these 'suckers': 1)Achy Breaky Heart ('tho in my opinion the radio stations killed him by overplaying this song. He really is quite a good singer/songwriter). 2)All I Really Want To Say To You---The Police 3)Anything by Brittany Spears 4)Ditto N'Sync (and all 'boy bands') 5)God Save The Queen---The Sex Pistols 6)Bird Dog---The Everly Brothers 7)I'm Too Sexy---don't know who, doesn't matter! 8)Torn Between Two Lovers---again it just doesn't matter! (Maybe there is some correlation between hating the song and remembering who done the dastardly deed!) 9)Gimme, Gimme Good Lovin'---1910 Fruitgum Company(I think)---Gimme, gimme a break! 10)Anything 'classical' Yuck! Sorry guys, to each his own, right?! ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/laugh.gif)
