Most hideous song

[Gamecockfan77]

or maybe I like some of these --- It's hard to say.

 

[Waquoit]

I hate this song.

Fail. Awesome song.

 

[Rocket009]

Oh boy I hate this one.

Funny - I was driving home this evening thinking that this would be on the list too.

 

[meyers7]

I hate this song.

Probably in my top 20 favorites. Great, great song.

I'd rather eat a box of nails.

 

[meyers7]

ugh.

Now you're just being blasphemous.

 

[meyers7]

Well there you go. You have no taste.

I'll give you Barbie Girl and My Humps though.

 

[JordyG]

ugh.

7 mins of torture.

 

[JordyG]

You know who else is awful now, Cher. She needs to hang up the tights

Ain't nothing in the world stretched tighter than her face. That is literally hanging by a thread(s).

 

[Bestiarius]

Okay, these are all amateurs. I give you the Shaggs.

Some comments:
OMG
That drummer sounds like she's building a shed!
Their guitars were probably in tune when they bought them.....
Sounds like Guitar Center on a Saturday afternoon...
Still better than Justin Bieber

I know you don't want to hear this, but Bieber can actually play all of these instruments with some proficiency. He can also read and write music, and sing on pitch.

Anyone say informer by snow?

Rico swave?

That stupid ru Paul song?

And most overrated category- Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart

Springsteen is not overrated. You don't have to like him - and I know his vocals are often slurred - and I'm not a big fan personally of some of the live stuff - but as a songwriter and performer he is the real thing. Ditto Rod Stewart, that I don't like at all.

I'm not going to try and list "overrated" artists, but I agree that some don't live up to the hype. But in the end, if an artist is "overrated" they are not going to stand up over the length of time that Springsteen and Stewart have.

Just joking. I don't know anything about Bieber. Change the name to whomever you like.

Man I hate that song.

Man.

 

[meyers7]

Great song. Love that one.

I was never big on the Eagles, I liked a few of their songs, but this one I always despised:

Just, just......man there aren't even any words.

[Rocket009]

I once shot a radio playing this

You should shoot it again - double tap

 

[meyers7]

Completely justified.

Was wondering when the Shaggs would be cited. Frank Zappa once remarked that they were better than the Beatles. I disagree. But the Shaggs are way more interesting and entertaining than mountains of derivative, over-produced corporate dreck (much of which is referenced here and (sorry) in other posts). Reminds me of what Christgau once said of Kris Kristofferson: "he's the worst singer I've ever heard. It's not that he's off key--he has no relation to key. He also has no phrasing, no dynamics, no energy, no authority, no dramatic ability, and no control of the top two-thirds of his six-note range." The difference is that "no relation to key"--indeed, no relation to just about anything standard in the 60's pop form--is the Shaggs' genuis. And after all, who would have conceived of a song like "Who Are Parents?" in 1969?

 

[Zorro]

Awful Oldies that have Not Been Mentioned.

I could cite more, but I gotta stop and barf.

Teen Angel!!! OMG, I danced close to plenty of girls, listening to this record, in my youth.
