    Of songs that other people like?

    I hate Dust in the Wind, and House of the Rising Sun, and I never need to hear Stairway to Heaven again, I have used up my quota.

      One day I realized I had been hearing it at least hourly on the radio while driving delivery and some switch in my head flipped. Can’t stand it. I want to never hear it again. I’ve heard Black Hole Sun more times in my life than I want to and that amount needs to stop getting higher

    Sweet Home Alabama

    When I still listened to the radio in the car, it started on one station, so I switched to another rock station. It was playing there too, on a different part. Switched to yet another rock station and it was also playing that terrible song!

      My biggest beef with Sweet Home Alabama is, if people are ever singing along with it, or if they’re singing it at karaoke. I should mention that I live in the South, so these people singing it are from the South, and even though the song itself isn’t racist, the way these people emphasize certain lyrics, it sure sounds like they want it to be racist.

      The whole thing makes me uncomfortable.

        It is absolutely a racist song. It’s a “response” to Southern Man by Neil Young (great song btw)

      God the “Watergate does not bother me… does your conscience bother you?” line alone puts this up there for me, and that’s far from the only thing to dislike.

    Gonna go against the grain here with something classical: Pachabel’s Canon in D. I liked it when I was a kid, for at least the first 10 or 20 times I heard it, but since then I’ve probably heard it thousands of times, and I’m not even a strings player. I’m not exaggerating either; it’s in so many commercials, weddings, movies, just over loudspeakers in the grocery store… ugh it’s inescapable. Pretty the first few times, sure, but it’s so aggressively bland.

    Shake it Off by Taylor Swift.

    When it came out, I was a regular gym-goer. I would spend an hour and a half at the gym three days a week and hear that song at least three times every single time I was there. And then you’d hear it anywhere else that played music as well, like stores. It was just too much.

      Carol of the Bells kicks ass.

      Tell you what I can’t stand, is The Obligatory Christmas Release. Some musical act, band or increasingly a solo “artist” gets big and especially if they have one brand-defining hit, they are required to do a Christmas release that is the thing they’re known for with sleigh bells and a word salad of Christmas words including a refrain where they just shout “It’s Christmas!!!” Los Del Rio did a Macarena Christmas mix. And we allowed society to continue anyway.

      Oh good. There’s someone else who doesn’t see the appeal of U2.

      And you just don’t like Elevator because you missed the expertly hidden, subtle innuendos. 😂

  • Radio Ga Ga by Queen.

    I had to listen to that shit played on loop for a week straight when the cruise ship I was working on chose it to be used to constantly stress test the PA system. Any time I hear it now, I get extremely angry and want to break something.

    I Will Survive - Something about this song just makes me murderous.

    Don’t Stop Believing - By the gods, please do stop. I love Journey, but just don’t play this.

    Bohemian Rhapsody - I think I’m just really tired of it. It’s been held up at such a pinnacle for so long and played far too often and I just can’t anymore. I don’t care. Turn it off.

    All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun by Sheryl Crow, or any song where the artist is doing that annoying kind-of-singing-but-also-just-talking thing (NOT to be confused with rap, I do enjoy lots of rap and hip-hop). It’s hard to explain. I think Red Hot Chili Peppers has a song where they do it too, and it annoys the fuck outta me.

      Went to a Yankee wedding in New Orleans(where i’m from). This tune came on and those people went nuts. Knew every word and I just stared in amazement.

      I sing Sweet Child O Mine and Sweet Caroline with the other songs melodies. Confuses people nicely.

      Yeah as someone who has spent almost their whole life in the Carolinas I am sick to death of that song, especially when people do the little singalong bits.
