rpeck Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have to agree with most of the above but some I never heard of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
echolmberg Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Every single "song" by: Nickelback Bob Dylan (overrated) Tom Petty (overrated) Santana (It's like watching the "Weekend at Bernie's" guy play.) Chicago (A trombone? Seriously??) Adelle (or however you spell her name. When she sings, all I can hear is her voice squeaking.) Justin Bieber (for more than obvious reasons.)

JasonW Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Apparently everybody forgot about the wonderful boy band era of the 90's. How about anything by...... Nsync Backdoor Boys 98 degrees (or whatever the heck they were called) New Dorks on the Block New Edition Hanson (talk about wanting to punch somebody....) And anything that spawned from those jokers, especially Justin Timberlake....... Makes me want to vomit. Oh, and how about Nelson "After the Rain". I get violent thoughts just thinking about these songs, thank god I don't listen to the radio. The i Pod is a wonderful invention....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Anything sung by Phish will be on my list. Same applies to REM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VA-115EFR Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I agree with the Nickelback except the song called Side Of A Bullet. Reason why I say is that song is about one of the greatest guitarists to ever walk the earth who was killed on stage. Dimebag Darrell R.I.P. Brother. \m/ AMEN TO THAT!!! That's the ONLY good Nickelback song, for that exact reason!!! R.I.P Dime! Pretty much every Linkin Park song sucks too! A LOT of 80's music with the electronic drums and synthesizer overkill makes me cringe!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have to question the mentality of anyone that doesn't like The Eagles ... One of the greatest bands of the Rock and Roll Era ... Gregg There you are wrong, fella. The Eagles are NOT a rock band, they're a C/W band. Listen to their crap with that in mind and you will believe me. I pretty much don't listen to music radio at all. The only execption is, since the new car came with Sirius, is the "First Wave" channel. They even have a couple of the old KROQ disc jockeys working there now. On CD, mostly world music with a large proportion of Hawai'ian slack key and my '80s new wave stuff from when I was a young jarhead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Pop rap yes, but there are some (very few) really good rap musicians. Isn't that a contradiction in terms? Little Miss Muffet Sat on dat Tuffet eatin dem curds and whey along come a spider sat down besider her and said yo bee-otch where be yo money?

Andre Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The Eagles are NOT a rock band, they're a C/W band. Or to put it even more accurately: they're a boring countryrockband. *duck and cover* Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MHaz Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hmmm... How about anything by Natasha Beddingfield ("Unwritten," anyone?)? "Tighten Up" - Archie Bell and the Drells anything by Bieber anything from any of the Disney teenie boppers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 "Mother" by the Police, from "Syncrhonicity". 'nuf said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
echolmberg Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Oh, and how about Nelson "After the Rain". Okay the gloves are coming off now. LOL! Don't be talkin' smack about Nelson! "Love and Devotion" was the best song EVER!!!! At first I wasn't a Justin Timberlake fan but then I saw him in some SNL skits. It was the first and only time I laughed at anything on SNL in about 10 years. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChesshireCat Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 guess I'm the odd man out here, but trust me I have a few that will cause an automatic change in the radio! 1.!!!! anything from Bobby Venton 2. anything from Sedaka 3. anything from the Philly PA area 4. Polka music of anykind 5. most all the late country crap 6. anything out of Tammy Wyanete 7. about 90% of Em&M (note I left a small loop hole) 8. Lee Greenwood is high on my can't stand list 9. Germanic opera (I do like Italian opera!) 10. jazz funk gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I just rapped and no musical skill needed Well, then you are basing your opinion on rap in general on pop-rap, correct? C**p like Jay-z, 50 Cent etc... As in ANY genre, there is good and bad stuff. Can't believe i am defending rap, i am rock, hard rock, metal kind of guy. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a deep love affiar with Russian Classical music, but mostly listen to acoustic jazz (old school stuff). But will set down and listen to "delta blues all night long on occassion. I listen to everything, but polka music! gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FM-Whip Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 We all know of songs that just want to make you throw up, and we wonder what the artists were thinking when they decided to record them. Here are a couple of nominees. 1. Having my Baby - Paul Anka 2. Loving You - Minnie Riperton (Had to look up who did it) It's surprising nobody has mentioned "Midnight at the Oasis" (Maria Muldaur) or "Afternoon Delight" (Starland Vocal Band) ...on second thought that maybe a positive. Some of my unfavorites: You Light Up My Life - Debbie Boone "Muskrat Love" - Captain and Tennille "Macarena" - Los Del Rio Lady In Red - Chris DeBurgh Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks Now, here's some true musical greatness: John Hairell (tpn18@yahoo.com) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well, then you are basing your opinion on rap in general on pop-rap, correct? C**p like Jay-z, 50 Cent etc... I don't hate rapping per se (arguably, some Johnny Cash songs could be described as proto-rap - "One Piece At A Time" would be a great example), but I can't stand mechanical music-from-a-box, so that disqualifies about 99,99% of rap. Give me real instruments! As in ANY genre, there is good and bad stuff. Amen. :) Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Little Miss Muffet Sat on dat Tuffet eatin dem curds and whey along come a spider sat down besider her and said yo bee-otch where be yo money? I just rapped and no musical skill needed You remind me of some of the folks in the 50's when they first heard Rock and Roll for the first time. If you don't like a particular style, that's fine but post's like the above just come across as a bit close-minded. The crap to classic ratio for Rap is about the same as any other genre. I'm not a huge fan of rap but have listened to enough to know that some of it requires pretty impressive talent. It's a bit more than just nursery rhymes & Ebonics. Give it a chance, you never know..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonW Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Wake me up before you go-go. Oh, good choice. I had completely forgotten how absolutely annoying that song (or anything by Wham/George Michael for that matter) is.Along a similar vein anything by Boy George but especially that chameleon song.

niart17 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Anything sung by Phish will be on my list. Same applies to REM. To be fair, the sub-title did say pop songs and Phish hardly falls into pop. BUT I will agree that Phish's vocals might not be the best technically. But I think that has a lot to do with their "state of mind" when they are singing if you know what I mean. From a musical point of view, their open jamming at times is pure genius. They are a lot more precise than a lot of people give them credit for. Funky, jazzy and downright grooving most of the time. I like them. To me, the bottom of the list is pretty much permanantly occupied by Michael Bolton and Kenny G. It's like you took music and literally ripped the soul right out of it. Other than that, I am very open minded to most all forms of music. And yes, even a good polka every now and then is worth listening to. Listen to Agnetha Faltskog singing some of her early folk songs...I'm jest sayin' give it a try. Bill Edited May 16, 2012 by niart17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 anything "auto-tuned" LOL, trust me, I've heard some of these vocal "artists" trying to sing without autotune...it's very much needed in most cases now days. Looks and "personality" trump talent all too often. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
