My all-time most despised song ever would have to be J. Geils' "Freeze Frame". I more so than hate that song ... I'm terrified of it. That lousy crap song has been terrorizing me since I was a child and anytime I hear it come up on the radio I shriek in terror and dart for the tuner.
There is a tavern that is roughly across the road from where I live. I tried going there to meet people or reunite with old classmates, but they play the same damn songs every night and they revolt the hell out of me. The really annoying one is that Kid Rock song where I suspect he's causing Warren Zevon to roll in his grave; the part that annoys me is that every time that it's played, everyone acts like they hadn't heard it for years and they cheer like it's the greatest song ever wrote. Kid Rock is NOT Led Zeppelin!!
There's songs here and there of classic rock that I don't much care for anymore, hits I've heard far too often. "Lola" and "Blinded by the Light" come to mind.
I'm a Pink Floyd fan, but I have to note "Young Lust" as being my least-favorite songs; it's simply a song that defies every I like about Pink Floyd.

Bicycle- Queen. That song is bad enough to count as a legitimate form of torture.

Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot just annoys the hell out of me. If it is on the radio, I MUST change the station.

Hotel California - utter crap. I hate that song with a white hot passion.
There's a song I hear in stores (every store seems to have the same music service, and play the same damn channel) - I don't know the name of the "artist" but it's some woman who's singing like she's tripping through fields of poppies, and the "lyrics" are just like: "Again and again and again and again, do it again, do it again, again and again and again and again, do it again, do it again, again and again, again and again...."
Are you friggin' KIDDING ME!!!?
There's another one that I can't think of that mentions rainbows, and the woman is just whining. I absolutely hate when stores or restaurants just keep playing song after song of women WHINING. Shut up, shut up, shut UP!!!!!

Deh deh DEH deh, deh deh DEH deh, deh deh DEH deh, deh deh DEH deh... What is that? I forget the name of it or who sings it. She drones the "deh deh's" then just sing-talks about her day. Very annoying.

Yeah, the first time I heard that song was on The Simpsons, but then I started hearing it all the time at work. That song is great in The Simpsons but awful in reality. I have to correct myself as that is NOT the song playing during the Spinal Tap riot (unless The Simpsons used it twice?). I'm about a year too late on this, but I only browse the music forum when I'm bored. The song Homer is listening to during the Spinal Tap riot is Little Spanish Flea, and it is the most amazing song ever. The worst song in the history of anything is Honkitonk Badonkidonk by some country jackass that I never bothered to memorize the name of. Nobody can ever prove me otherwise on this, so don't even try.

I guess anything by anal c***. (Exepet for their song "I just saw the gayest guy on earth") Buckettovsissors - Symbiosis Buck Metalica - Nothing else matters Panic! at the disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies James Blunt - Your beautiful And i guess any of that annoying "Hip Hop" we have today [But i love the old school] Oh yeah, and Grindcore music. How about Anal C***'s touching ballad "KYLE FROM INCANTATION HAS A MUSTACHE!!!" That one is so insanely hilarious to me. The only one by them that I can really listen to, but there's not much difference among their songs. My 5 picks for worst songs: "Tubthumper," Chumbawumba (This is the mobius strip song from HELL!) "Barbie Girl," Aqua (Yeah, I know, it's a joke. It's a novelty song. I'm not laughing.) "Kiss From a Rose," Seal (Oh, my god, I don't even know why I hate this song so much. It has this undefineable quality that makes me want to proclaim that music is dead.) "Heaven Is A Place On Earth," Belinda Carlisle (How many freakin' times can you say the word 'heaven' in the same song???) "This One Song I Just Heard That I Don't Know The Title Of, But It's As Generic As a Toothless Rock Ballad Can Possibly Get," Survivor "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing," Aerosmith (Okay, maybe this is the "Survivor" song I heard.) "I Kissed A Girl," by I Don't Actually Remember and I Don't Really Care (Yeah, I liked this song for a second. Now it has to go bye-bye.)

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. All right. I know I'm asking for it, especially after you mentioned the "sentimentality" factor, but honestly... you have got to be kidding. "Behind Blue Eyes" is without a doubt one of the WORST cover songs of all time! And there's no defending that song with ANY kind of background story. I mean, just take a look around at all the evidence. A D-level band that somehow helped to usher in an era of generic, unintelligent, heavy-handed "nu-metal" rock suddenly thinks that because they put out a few albums with weird titles that they can do justice to a sublime classic from an awesomely talented and innovative band called The Who. That's bad enough. What is really unforgiveable is that they chose to spell their stupid f***ing name in the middle of the song using "speak and spell" sounds! And they didn't even attempt to rock out in the parts they should have let loose in! That might have saved their pathetic attempt just a bit more. Did they even listen to the original song before they recorded it??? Did they have any respect for that song and/or the band that recorded it? If they did, they should have kept their idiotic band name out of it!!! Wow, sorry. I didn't mean to get that carried away. But when I heard that song the first time, it enraged me; and I'm not even a real fan of The Who! I can't imagine the reaction that Who fans had to it! I can't imagine that they LET Limp Bizkit ruin their song like that! Keep in mind, there's no disrespect to your feelings in relation to your fire department buddies, busdrivertohell. All I'm saying is that just because a song has a personal sentimental meaning behind it, doesn't mean that it isn't in reality one of the worst blunders in the history of music, and shouldn't be treated as a festering cancer.

"No One's Going To Take Meeeeeeee Aliiiiiiiiiiive" (please...you American Apparel poster boys would probably be the first ones in line to get your foreheads barcoded. Like, revolution is so awesome, bro.) and "I Want To Know What Love Is".

At least half of the Juno soundtrack. One song in particular called "We won't stop till somebody calls the cops." I think the chick was going for a protest song thing, but it really sounds like a mental patient with a guitar. She can't sing and the guitar playing is freakin' awful, and the lyrics make no damn sense! I saw the movie Juno (not my favorite movie, but not terrible) and my friend played that song again. He liked it, and it was by far my least favorite song from that movie (and that's saying something) I had to play the Alan Parsons Project just to get the terribleness out of the air. Only half of the Juno soundtrack? The movie was good, but that was one of the worst soundtracks I have ever heard. HAL 9000 has a more dynamic singing voice than these hacks!

Very annoying. That's got to be Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega. I'd agree that it's not her best song, but she's actually a damn good musician. The song I have a problem with is whoever sings that bit about bubbles. At the point where she sings, "I get the tingles in a silly place" I projectile vomit on the inside of my windshield.

I always catch hell whenever I say this, but that Jason Mraz song that is playing everywhere currently tops my list of Worst Songs Ever. I don't know how anybody can like it. It never goes anywhwere. The entire song sounds like it sound be just starting. It doesn't build to any crescendo-- it just kind of... keeps going. "Dah da da da da da da da DAH da, Dah da da da da da da da da DAH da, It cannot wait, I'm yoooooours." Uck. It's too damn happy. It seems almost too happy-- like a bunch of smiling cult members would be singing it as they tie you to a chair and murder you. Can you tell I hate that song?
And yes, "Bubbly" is up there. Is that Taylor Swift? If it is, then I hate her.
And since we're talking about terrible covers of great songs, how about terrible songs that sample great songs? I can't tell you how many times I've heard that classic "Ding ding ding ding-ding-ding-ding" and thought ooh! Under Pressure! Turn it up turn it up! Just to be met with "Ice is back with a brand new blah blah blah..." I know it's way too easy to make fun of Vanilla Ice, but it really is difficult not to hate. Can't Touch This sampling Superfreak isn't as bad because I don't think can't Touch This is nearly as bad as Ice Ice Baby, but it does disappoint when I think I'm going to hear Rick James and I'm met with MC Hammer. Oh God, and how could I forget Bootylicious sampling Edge Of Seventeen? I love, love Stevie Nicks and I think Edge Of Seventeen is her masterpiece, and then Destiny's Child turns it into... well, that.
James Taylor. Anything by damn James Taylor.
I think it's bad that I love these threads that inspire so much hate. And I had to edit my post because I realized I already posted in this thread about how much I hate Your Body Is A Wonderland. Bubblegum tongue sea of blankets.

Speaking of Stevie Nicks, nothing is worse than the Dixie Chicks horrible remake of "Landslide", or any other song by the Dixie Chicks for that matter. I hate their lead singer's voice.
Any song by Taylor Swift, that girl bugs the crap out of me. Is it just me or does she give off the vibe of craziness lurking beneath the surface just waiting to explode? Between that Picture to Burn song and comments she made in interviews after the Jonas brother break up I wouldn't be surprised if we read about her burning down some ex-boyfriend's house in a rage someday.
Any song by Blue October, seriously that man cannot sing!!! Also let's not even get started on the disturbing lyrics of some of their songs. I absolutely despise the song "Dirt Room".
