Buzzy Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Bohemian bloody Rhapsody, I hated it the first time I heard it in 75 , then when it was number one again in 91. I guess I'll have to suffer it again as its the title of the forthcoming Queen bio-pic. Never understood why this load of drivel has such an appeal to people.

It's tuneless, derivative, poorly played and entirely lacking in emotion or creativity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No lust in Jazz Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Excluding novelty songs - I have a bigger issues with half-arsed versions of songs than disliking the songs themselves. (If I dislike a song I can zone it out - much like an annoying co-worker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big LZ fan, and never understood the Stairway fascination. That bombastic live version by Heart that did the rounds a while ago is properly hideous.

chris_b Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I usually don't join in "hate" threads. . . . but after a long time resisting. . . . I'm going to have to mention Grandad by Clive Dunn. I understand why they made it, it was the day job, but I see no redeeming features in that record at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'll find anybody arguing with you on that one, but which is worse Grandad or Grandma by St Winifred's School Choir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many other SRV songs that are better as well. I've yet to play with a drummer outside of Texas that can nail it.

Muzz Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hahahaaa...I play a lot of these songs, and though I wouldn't listen to them at home, I enjoy playing music to singing, revelling crowds who are enjoying themselves, and that elevates the song every time. Like it or not, Oasis are the anthemic band for a generation (or more). I see it every weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Group after us, opened with it. Group after them. Opened with it. To be fair, if we had been the second or third group we wouldn't have done it if the first group had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegateNaarifin Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 We Are The Champions immediately springs to mind. I like most Queen stuff, but that song in particular makes me cringe like no other. I don't think I could ever stomach rehearsing or playing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
