Terrible Songs By Horrible Artists Whom You Personally Can't Stand, ...because they are vile and loathsome and can't sing, either. Options

[Mr Tein]

West End Girls by the Pet Shop Boys... And that's the best song in their entire so-called repertoire.

this is shite

[Mr Tein]

Dare I say, oh yes, I dare:

"Born to Run" by the tuneless Bruce Stinkstein. The worst of all his miserable attempts at singing.

Anything Stevie Nicks bleats out in alleged songs. Bah, feh, poohey! I'd spit if I knew how to spell it like it sounds. Ptoo. There.

oooh another of my favourites... can we add to the title

But probably well liked by Mr Tein

Well this list could be (in theory) endless. Considering it's a song by an artist that you already have decided that you don't like. To single out a lone defenseless song would be futile.

I shouldn't single out a form of music, but, most modern rap does nothing for me. It hasn't really progressed too much at all and I find it to be firmly rooted in everything bad about pop music (crass, immature, impersonal, sexist, racist, juvenile, etc).
Most modern American "indie" dulls me to tears. It's become more about fashion, how one grooms themselves, how beyond-seriousness serious they appear to take themselves, etc. - then it is about the music and lyrics. It's endless similar to itself too - which borders on self-parody. And the "pop" aspect is entirely lost. If you love music it's very sad actually. I suppose it's all where you look but even those avenues have been re-routed several times over (MTV's 120 Minutes, WLIR/WDRE-FM, etc).

Who Says You Can't Go Home? - Bon Jovi

I hate the fact that they are a country band now. Anything to make money, since the Top 40 market gave up on them in 1990. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

What a perfect thread for Nickelback. Some people at work LOVE them, which is the only reason I know of their vomit inducing music.

THEY SUCK!!!!!! I heard one of their songs the other day, it starts off with the line, "I like your pants around your knees," or whatever. It's the most chauvinist song I ever heard in my life! I've heard people say they are over-rated, but music critics hate this band. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Sorry, Mr Tein. I cannot stand it. It is like fingernails on a blackboard. It is like tennies on a basketball court. Eeek! I like your other favorites, particularly those who accompany themselves on typewriter! Wink!

You are correct, most critics worth anything hate Nickelback. Below is a link to a scathing review of their latest.

I don't like any of the songs mentioned so far, but I like this thread!

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Nickelback are not known for their insight, but Chad Kroeger's caterwauling claim that "we got no class, no taste" on "Burn It to the Ground," the second song on their sixth album, Dark Horse, is a slice of perceptive, precise self-examination. Nickelback are a gnarled, vulgar band reveling in their ignorance of the very notion of taste, lacking either the smarts or savvy to wallow in bad taste so they just get ugly, knocking out knuckle-dragging riffs that seem rarefied in comparison to their thick, boneheaded words. Of the two, the music is far less offensive, particularly on Dark Horse, where they work with the legendary producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, the sonic architect behind Back in Black and Pyromania, two of hard rock's towering monuments. Mutt Lange decides to give Nickelback a production caught somewhere between the two extremes of AC/DC and Def Leppard, pumping up some muscle on Nickelback's heaviest rockers and adding some color to their power ballads, suggesting some heretofore verboten suggestions of modernity in the form of electronic rhythms, even taking it to the extreme of adding drum loops to the surefire crossover hit "Gotta Be Somebody." Nickelback do manage to shed their leathery rock skin a couple of times, first with an arena-rocking "Burn It to the Ground" and then echoing Toby Keith's "Let's Talk About Us" on the white-boy rap pre-chorus for "Something in Your Mouth," but these are mere glimpses of something unpredictable; Dark Horse was constructed entirely from the group's standard templates of bleating power ballads and dulled hard rock.

These two sounds have been the group's trademark for a while now, ever since Kroeger started plumbing the depths of his shallow soul to spit out invective toward lovers and fathers on 2001's Silver Side Up, but stardom has stripped away all lingering angst, leaving behind slow songs about love and fast songs about partying, all designed to woo women he'll later hate. Underneath the housewife-hooking power ballads -- "I'd Come for You," "If Today Was Your Last Day" -- plus "Just to Get High," an ode to a fallen junkie friend that's part of the proud tradition that stretches back to at least Body Count's "The Winner Loses," Dark Horse seethes with ugly misogyny, as Kroeger trots out a parade of dirty little ladies in pretty pink thongs, porn stars, strippers, and sluts, all of whom are desired and despised for showing too much skin. Kroeger may claim that "S is for the simple need/E is for the ecstasy" in his middle-school chant "S.E.X.," but there is no joy in his carnality, just bleak veiled violence, and that nasty undercurrent undercuts his pleading lovesick ballads; he's either had his heart broken by those loose women, or he's singing to the good girl left at home while he's out on the town. This all turns Dark Horse into a murky, wearying listen, with the mood only lightening at the end of the record, when Kroeger and company take a break from carousing to kick back with bros and a bong for "This Afternoon" -- its strum-along choruses are a relief but so is its mellowness, as Kroeger seems calmer, relaxed, even friendly. Maybe it's because there were no women in the picture.

My sister is a good barometer.
Anything good, she hates.

She loves Nickelback.

I can't believe Buns & Hoses - er, Guns n Roses, hasn't been mentioned yet.
That guy has a voice like cats in a blender - but worse.

I even hated that first album everyone creams themselves over.

Hi Jim - Long time, no see
I don't mind some of the earlier, hard rock Styx. However, the later, theatrical Styx with DeYoung's influence turned me off.

First album was alright, at the time. By the time they got to The Grand Illusion, they were boring my adolescent ass. Was there an album before that called Point of No Return? Or was that Kansas? Who gives a rat's knob?

[simpleton01]

I’m sure they are fine people, but I was never able to get into the songs of Kansas, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Head East, Queen, Journey, Boston, or Les Dudek.



Actually, I’ve never even heard Les Dudek. I just like saying Les Dudek.



Les Dudek.

If you want to blow your mind, go to LesDudek.com.

P.S. - Note: I will not accept any liability if you go to the Dudek website and your mind is not blown there. Wait, that was a double negative, wasn't it?

Note: I have just been informed by the management of Les Dudek that I can no longer use his name, Les Dudek, or his image, without express written permission of Les Dudek.

So henceforth, when I mention "Les Dude," especially when I mention it in a French accent (silent 's'), you'll know who I am talking about.

Thank you.

[Jeff Truzzi]

I wonder if Les Dudek ever recorded with Le Mobile.
