nilorius Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I hate - Johnny B. Goode, but with a great great passion, because it's the best song as an alarm sound in my mobile !🤪 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Happy by Pharrell Williams Girl On Fire by Alicia Keys There are many songs I dislike but these two hate with a deep passion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Dancing in the Street - The Jagger & Bowie version. They should be made to eat it, and when nature calls, open up their bowls and deposit it down the nearest available toilet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interminable Stairway to Heaven Led Zep 'ditto' And two great examples that have been overplayed on rock radio. I wonder if music artistes have a say in how often their songs get played on radio. Gotta be a trade off between royalties and engendering hate due to overkill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with the original but this possibly takes the crown for worst ever cover version, although it's the video that's really cringeworthy. Van Halen's slightly iffy version by contrast is brilliant. Edited March 28 by Barking Spiders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAlonBass Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) I played in a Covers Band, and I DESPISED "Burn" by (not really) Deep Purple. I say not really, because MY kind of Deep Purple didn't have over-stressed Cockney accents in the Vocals. It was like listening to Billy Bragg with a Rock Track playing in the back-ground. I realise Blackmore might have wanted to keep the name going, but most of the Tracks simply weren't up to scratch....Along with certain Musicians. 😁 Edited March 28 by BigAlonBass Missed a bit off the end of the post.

bass_dinger Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Saddle Up and Ride Your Pony by David Christie It's cheesy, and he may even be miming to the bass line . . .

The fasting showman Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Much as I'm not really into Northern Soul there's some songs within that style that I think are great uplifting pop songs. I cannot bear ' The Snake' though, those terrible Benny Hill ' Ernie ' key changes. Truly the Mustang Sally of Northern Soul. I've successfully avoided ever having to gig that song, always managed to have enough of a tantrum to prevent it happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StickyDBRmf Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I had fun reading this. There are a lot I agree with, and here in the "Born In The USA" (I can't believe that Stanley Clarke video), AND LIVING IN NEW JERSEY, the only songs that really make me start screaming "Ahhh..." while grabbing for the volume is Bon Jovi.

Richard R Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 There is only one song I really loath: "Imagine", by John Lennon. It really, really gets my goat! Of the rest - I can see why people dislike them, and often it seems to be over exposure that causes the problem. And the Grateful Dead used to do a mean version of "Dancing In The Street" 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super al Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 9 hours ago, LeftyJ said: "What's up" by the 4 Non-Blondes I was in a covers band for 2 years and we rehearsed weekly. Every rehearsal would start with that song, and every week the guitarist would mess up the intro lead. Now every time I hear that song I hear him playing along in my head. That's another thread right there "songs spoiled by listening to a guitarist or singer in your band making the same error every time". I can't listen to Reptilia by the Strokes without a smirk when it's just the guitar playing by itself midway through...we always said it was the jazz version 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super al Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I used to hate some music with a passion but have found myself softening up in recent years. I don't mind the Smiths, pre 80s Bowie, Abba... I can even listen to the Pet Shop Boys without kicking the radio at the wall! Maybe I'm not as serious about music as I used to be 🤔 ... I think that started when I shifted to 5 string basses 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Sorry...I can't let this thread go any further without saying the unsayable... Bob Marley's album "Legend" - totally killed his work for me. Nearly everyone I know has that album/ CD - their only venture into reggae ( well maybe "Labour of love" by UB40 too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
