Way too many to even begin listing them. I wouldn't know what most of them were called anyway, nor the 'artists' responsible for them. But a few I despise that I do know the titles of - Eye of the Tiger, Who Let The Dogs Out, The Boys Are Back In Town, The Final Countdown....I think they're all the same song, and it's just been cut-up & re-arranged.

Turn on mainstream radio. Okay, hear the song that's playing? That's probably it.

I'm going to nominate a song by an artist I've defended here many times. "Say You, Say Me" by Lionel Richie. I love Lionel, and I think he gets way more ridicule than he deserves. But this one is one of the worst songs ever. 1- The lyrics are bottom-of-the-barrel lame. "I had a dream, I had an awesome dream. People in the park, playing games in the dark." Right. 2- It was a song from a ballet movie. That's right. A ballet movie. 3- It won an Oscar. That's right. An Oscar. 4- It has the worst bridge of all time in any recorded song ever. Of all time. Ever. The tempo changes, the instrumentation changes, and the lyrics are a completely different theme. It's like when those clips from "Mole People" showed up in the middle of "Batwoman". Just terrible. All that being said, I still like it. In fact, I think I'm going to listen to it now, in the full knowledge that it sucks on toast. LOL You know, Mr. A, you and I will probably never see eye to eye on the whole "gay thing," but it's refreshing to see we can find some common ground on one of my least favorite songs of all time. LOL I was traumatized as a child by endless radio airplay of this horrible, horrible song.

I dislike most any of the 'redone' songs except for 'Behind Blue Eyes' By Limp Bizkit. THat song holds a lot of weight to a few members of my old fire department after we had a particularly bad call. I also like the redone version of 'simple man' by shinedown. But all the other ones, like 'Brown Eyed Girl', 'Turn the Page', and any old song that was great before these rap 'artists' sampled them and screwed them up by adding 'b*tch h0' somewhere in the words.
I also hate 'Sexy Back' By Justin Timberlake, and the sheer fact that I get demands every night I go to work to play that stupid song.
AND 'I'm a Flirt' by R. Kelly. I get asked to play that song all the time too. Any guy who makes a video about pizzing on a 14 year old girl automatically makes me nauseated. But people still like hearing his stuff.
Some things like that make me want to tell the customers that if I play that crap that they must tip me.
The joys of being a DJ at a bar.

Emperor Cupcake, I'm going to have to disagree with you on something. I like Sweet Home Alabama. Maybe it's just a redneck thing. I agree it's over-played, but it's a pretty good song. I especially like the retort to Neil Young's "Southern Man" Okay, I can dig that. But you have to understand that I was born and raised in Daytona Beach, Florida, home of NASCAR -- the Redneck Riviera, if you will. So anything that smacks of redneckery or down-hominess just makes me want to off myself. It's a knee-jerk reaction thing. And really I think I hate "Free Bird" more than "Sweet Home Alabama." It's a close call, though. Hey now! I live in Alabama, and..................I hate that song with the passion of a thousand latin lovers. Every time it's played on the radio (an average of once every 4.8 minutes I think), I want to destroy things. But, on to songs I hate. "Boogie With Stu" by Led Zeppelin - Sweet Lord, I can't describe the amount of loathing I have for this piece of Zep crap. And, well, that's really all I can think of right now. I mean, most rap "music" sucks ass anyways, so, we all know that. Most everything that's on the radio nowadays that's new is all pop music. It may say country, rock, metal, rap, r&b, whatever, but, it's pop music. Servo

I can't stand ignorant, club-friendly, Casio keyboard made hip-hop as much as the next guy, but there is a lot of good stuff to be found in hip-hop that is a nice, creative middle ground between the "gangsta" rap everyone hates and the corny, neo-hippie "positive/conscious" rap. There's some country that I like that isn't the modern flag waving, jingoist tripe but not tear-in-my-beer, self-sorrow stuff, either (and I mean beyond the Johny Cash / Merle Haggard stuff that the hip, 20-something LA crowd goes for either).

Essentially any song ever released by Alanis Morrisette, particularly the hits off of her big album, Jagged Little Pill. The two that really make my skin crawl, make my blood boil, are "Ironic" and "Head Over Feet". My god, what awful, insipid lyrics, and they're set to lifeless "alternative" de jour music.
You are the bearer of unconditional things You held your breath and the door for me Thanks for your patience
It's like she started out plagerizing a 6th grader's notebook and then devolved into just random phrases.

Heenan: "This is my second favorite song of all time." Monsoon: "I hate to ask, but what's your favorite?" Heenan: "All the rest are tied."

Justin Timberlake, though, is on the tip-top of my crappy music list at the moment. Co-sign! Has anyone ever heard that awful "Christmas Shoes" song? *shudders* What a maudlin, treacly, mess of a song! It's one of the very few Christmas songs that I annually avoid at all costs!

Yes, it's a bit like Christmas carolers kicking me in the family jewels with their Christmas Shoes on and saying "Come on! CRY!"
