Lessee, "Achy, Breaky Heart"? Check. "Stairway to Heaven"? Check.

Howzabout: Almost anything by The Rolling Stones. They are a garage band that never got any better, and their lyrics are mostly stupid.

Most of Led Zeppelin. They are pretentious hacks. As are The Who.
"They tap dance not, neither do they fart." --Greensleeves, on the Fig Men of the Imagination, in "Twice Upon a Time."

I have no problem with anyone loving the Stones. They just don't do anything for me. But, then, I used to be a huge Manilow fan, so you probably don't want me liking the same music as you  :tongueout:.

"Stairway to Heaven" was a staple of high school dances, but that had a lot to do with the fact that it is (a) a slow dance, meaning close physical contact, and (b) long.

That said, I really do love this song.

I burnt myself out on "Stairway to Heaven" when I was a young teenager.  Listened to it so many times that my love for it boomeranged and I grew to hate, hate, hate it.  After not hearing it for about 20 years, it came on one day when I was trapped in a barber chair and forced to listen to it.  I sort of liked it again; three different melodies, nice development for a rock song, great guitar solo by Page.  I could stand to hear it again in another 20 years.

Well,we all love B-movies....so all of us here on this sight are pretty used to,and accept the fact,that different tastes are what makes us individuals. Most of the mainstream doesn't like what we like. Get alot of misfits of society together....and we're gonna not agree on everything. I think thats why everyone on this site gets along pretty well with each other. We all respect the individuality and opinion of others. We're not lemmings. WE ARE REBELS,MAN! (In a nerdy kinda way.... :teddyr:)

I just recently found out that a good chunk of the songs I hate are all by the Steve Miller Band! I really didnt know that all those songs were by the same guy.  I've got to say he's got to be pretty talented to create such a wide range of suck that I couldnt even identify that it was all the same band.

I also really hate everything from REM and U2.  I'd rather puke out my intestines and swallow them again than listen to one of their songs.  I literally have to change the channel if one comes on.

Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin I used to like, but they were overplayed and their songs NEVER END and i can't stand them now.

I also can't stand the damn Christmas Shoes song, but I dont know if anyone else really likes that. And the John Lennon Christmas song and every version of it.

Anything by MEATLOAF!  :hatred:
I recall reading an interview with him where that a$$ claims to be an originator of punk music. Gimme a break. He represented to me all that punk was against. Meatloaf does NOT rock!

Meatloaf to me is broadway meets rock n roll.  Either way it equals "suck". 

Ok this next one I can't even stomach myself to find on youtube...Don't Worry Be Happy By Bobby McFerrin.  Then again, I'm somewhat convinced no one likes this song...not even Bobby himself.

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody




I think I hate the fact that it's always treated as Queens best and it isn't.
Princes of the Universe is.
Hmm.  I always considered "Fat Bottomed Girls" to be their best. :wink:

i love fat bottom girls (both the song and the real thing)! that song will NEVER get old!

"Who Wants to Live Forever" is the best Queen song.  It's a scientific fact.   (<--  said in best Homer Simpson voice.)

Remember, it's a song that you hate that you think other people like.

NO ONE thinks that the Achy Breaky song is good.  But I'm 100% with ya RC, I hate that song a lot.

I really, really hate Free Bird.  That flailing, endless, I'm-so-effed-up-that-I-can't-make-the-solo-stop solo... gaaah!  Gaaaah!  And I do think that some number of people do like the song (wrong as they may be, to do so).

"Dont' Wanna Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith.  That song is worthy of hate.

I could live a long time and not hear "Stairway" or "Love in an Elevator" again, and that'd be good, but that is not the same thing as hating the songs for what they are.
