There is one song that has actually forced me to leave a store when it came over the sound system. I hated it with the burning passion of a thousand suns when it came out the year I turned 13 (1973), and time has only increased my hatred of it. "Send your camel to bed" indeed. Go ahead. I dare you to listen to it.
On a different note, one year I was Christmas shopping and, of course, the store (K-Mart. Hey, my late Mom worked there for decades) had Christmas music playing over their sound system. I was stunned when Christmas from The Who's Tommy started playing. Someone evidently just looked at the title and didn't check the content. Talk about an inappropriate song for the season. I like the song and the album, but wow.

Adam Levine from a Maroon 5. He sounds like a duck

The song All Summer Long by Kid Rock. Seems like it SHOULD work and should be a decent song, but I keep waiting for Sweet Home Alabama or Werewolves of London to start, and they never do, sadly.
It's just off somehow and jarring. I don't understand why "artists" want to sample bits of other-already-made songs in their so-called songs. All I'm doing when hearing these is expecting the original song to start and thinking about that original song. Why would you want someone to think of another song when you're singing yours? I don't get it. If anyone has an example of one of these that actually works, where you kind of forget about the original one and the person singing the re-do (or up?? do) makes it their own and it, again, works, mention it.
It also doesn't help that he rhymes "things" with..."things".

I hate a lot of music out these days that are not hard-core-full-on hip-hop (though I hate that, too, surprise surprise), but it's more like hip -- pop(?) would you call it?
I don't know any musical terms so there might be words to better describe what I mean, but I'll do my best.
There's just TOO MUCH going on in these songs. Someone's in the background singing the same phrase over and over (or something like "yeaHHhh" or "whoOOa"), or there's this same back beat throughout the WHOLE SONG - nothing really changes to make it more interesting or to stop that pounding-in-your-head feel. There's some techno beats going on and some synth noises, like when they make "notes" out of distorted, synthed human voices that sound like babies on crack or chipmunks or something -blech.
And the lead singer uses that brain melting, warbling auto tune (ala Cher in "Do You Believe in Life After Love"). For the WHOLE SONG, not just a chorus or two. THE WHOLE FRIGGIN' SONG.
Does NO ONE know how to sing anymore??!!
I can't imagine listening to this stuff for hours at a time and enjoying it. I just don't get the appeal.
I wish the music world would come up with a new sound so I don't have to hear this stuff in EVERY store or restaurant I go to, in every commercial and video and movie and documentary and stuff.
Just stop it already.

I really don't like Pentatonix. Now, they're not "nails on a chalkboard" bad or anything, as they all have amazing voices. I just don't like their style. It's very over-produced and too polished and there's just no soul or emotion to their voices AT ALL. I may as well be listening to synthesizers.
