I do not like AC/DC. They are overplayed, and most of their songs sound exactly the same. That being said, they have one of the greatest (and probably only) bagpipe solos ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GChhRrU6BJU One morning while I was driving to work, listening to the radio, they had a professional bagpiper in the studio for some reason. The DJs turned the music down at that point, and let that dude do his thing. It was fantastic.

Can't believe I haven't seen this one mentioned yet: the Pina Colada song. How the gently caress was this ever a hit.

Ah, so many folks in this thread I agree with. Feels good, man. I thought of a few more in the meantime that haven't been mentioned yet: Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me) by Train - It almost feels like cheating putting a song by Train in my post, but alas, I can't not. Dreadfully soulless, just like "Hey Soul Sister" and "Meet Virginia". Your Body is a Wonderland by John Mayer - See above, but replace "Train" with "John Mayer", and "Hey Soul Sister" & "Meet Virginia" with anything else. I Don't Want to Wait by Paula Cole - I couldn't really decide between this one and "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?", but I chose this one because it was so ridiculously overplayed. I feel kind of bad because it seems to come from a genuine, sincere place, but that makes it worse because it ends up being maudlin and obnoxious. Bogus Adventure posted:-Piano Man: This is a fantastic song, but I've heard it so much that I can't stand it. There are so many better Billy Joel songs that should be played. Pomme de Terror posted:Reading y'all's posts reminded me of another one - You're Beautiful by James Blunt 1 posted:A few of Paul McCartney's have already been mentioned, but Wonderful Christmastime is the one I would erase from history. F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Two [Christmas songs] that do annoy the piss out of me are Christmas Shoes as I've already said (who likes that loving depressing song?) and Do They Know It's Christmas? and its condescending lyrics: Zero_Grade posted:Can't believe I haven't seen this one mentioned yet: the Pina Colada song. How the gently caress was this ever a hit.  That said:1) I'd like to add "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses to the long list of Christmas songs I hate. That saxophone part in the chorus is especially annoying, it's like artificial whimsy. 2) "Piña Colada" is another one of those songs, at least for me, that's so awful that it's just kind of a "default" awful song just resting in the back of my mind because it doesn't come up enough for me to think about it.

Really anything by the Fray, but especially how to save a life Just a poo poo song by a poo poo band enjoyed by poo poo people. It drones forever and the guys voice grates on my nerves Equally lovely is The Reason by Hoobastank. It played an uncountable number of times the summer I worked at the ice cream shop and I wanted to die every time

YeahTubaMike posted:"Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" Oh, god. Oh loving hell.. I despise that song. Back when it first came out, I heard it dozens of times a day on the preview / promo tapes we played at Blockbuster. Just the most insipid bullshit. My hatred for that song can only be challenged by "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals. Utterly trite muzak-adjacent production with self-important garbage lyrics and a matching video that makes me unreasonably angry.

Dreadfully soulless, just like "Hey Soul Sister" and "Meet Virginia". Completely soulless, and also a prime example of one of my least favorite motifs in pop music: "hey, woman who's out there doing her own thing, haven't you forgotten who REALLY matters: me, an insufferable small-minded weenie man?!" Meet Virginia might also be about this (it's at least about its close cousin, "woman who seems cool and self-actualized is actually very sad"), and while I have somehow avoided hearing Hey Soul Sister, the title gives me pause.

I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. Granted, I don't like Aerosmith in general so I wasn't inclined to like this song, but it is just overwrought garbage. (That "even when I DREEEEEEEAM of youuuu!" part will be in my head forever for all the wrong reasons.) Plus it was overplayed at time, it felt like whatever studio made Armageddon was trying to push it as the next My Heart Will Go On, and it was just as obnoxious.

Lots of people on point ITT (gently caress you to whoever made me think about Manic Monday ) but my biggest personal bugaboo is Hallelujah, because going to anything vaguely folk-ish on Pandora etc. usually means being bombarded with approximately one hundred million covers of it.

Two VASTLY different song, who's names I don't know, and who's lyrics I don't even really know so it's kind of hard to even search for the names of them. First one up is a hip-hop song from circa 2006-2009. I don't know the exact year, but it's when I was working in a couple kitchens and I remember hearing it when the radio was tuned to the Top 40 or hip-shop station. Again, I know almost none of the lyrics, BUT the chorus has a weird part that is like a fuckin' Chipmunks song. SUPER high-pitched and I THNK the lyrics are like "How low can you go? How long, can you go?!" And again...very high pitched and annoying. The second is from...IDK, maybe 8-10 years ago? Possibly a bit newer. It was part of the trend of "quirky white girl sings jazzy songs." The chorus is really upbeat and I THINK one of lines ends in the phrase "little kicks" and then the next lyrics rhymes that with "1966."

How could I have forgotten this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge4n0PYpupU Of all the songs mentioned, this might be the most godawful of them all. Hotel California is overplayed but it's listenable. Christmas Shoes is saccharine and terrible but it's not inhuman screeching that makes your ears bleed. This is not music....it's what I imagine hell to sound like.

I'm also going to through Florence and the Machine under the bus as well. Their songs are repetitive and all sound the same to me. I could have lived a full and happy life without ever having heard of them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwIe_sjKeAY Madness - "Our House" This song is usually one of those commonly played tracks you hear on variety or classic rock stations. The song is repetitive, the vocals and chorus just seem to drone on, and the cheesy key change near the end just grates my nerves.

I like Jolene but it's off-putting that the lyrics never acknowledge that if your man is that easily taken, you've got bigger problems than the existence of Jolene. My time in the retail pits gave me a special distaste for the one that goes "so stressed OUT" in the squeaky voice, and also that other one that goes "once I was seven years old my mama told me doo da doo da doo or you'll be lonely". They share a similar, sickeningly cutesy vibe with the added bonus that I associate them exclusively with lovely memories of a job I hated. Also, I know Ween is liked by music people, and maybe the point of Push the Little Daisies is that it sounds annoying, but it sounds annoying.

"Open your eyes" by Snow Patrol, and "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons. Repetitive garbage by whiny crooning bands, which I'm just not attuned for. Their incredible popularity suggest I'm way off base of course, but no, it's the children who are wrong. Shout out to "Yellow" by Coldplay (and everything else by Coldplay). Just, I dunno, cheer up mate, yeah?

It almost puts me to sleep every time I hear it. Every Coldplay song is extremely boring but Yellow is on like a cosmic level.

I get that the 'updated' We Didn't Start the Fire is trying to follow the rhythm of the original, but in trying it just namedrops stuff wherever is convenient. Motherfucker, half of what made the original song work was that events were grouped and listed chronologically!
