Ever had a song you really hate that happened to become widely popular and then you got stuck listening to it everywhere you went?


- The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love
- Outkast - Hey Ya
- Coldplay - Yellow
- The Beatles - Let It Be (or pretty much anything by them, but especially this one!)

All the prism in the world couldn't make hue.

Anything Rap, Country, or Pop. I can't stand anything from any of those three genres.

Anything by Coldplay, Dave Matthews, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, hell, the list goes on for quite a long while.

Specific songs? I give a song I'm not liking three chances. Usually the first time, I change stations. The second time, I try to listen all the way through. Normally I make it half way. Third time, I try to listen all the way again, if I don't make it this time, the song is bad in my opinion. The few times I do end up making it, it's usually still a very slim chance I'll like it. So pretty much, If I don't like it by the second time, yea...

Back to the specific songs thing... I can't and won't even try to name them all.

A lot of hip-hop stuff, though I generally like the stuff by Outkast, Eminem, and newer Snoop that I hear, in addition to D12's "My Band" and "Purple Pills."

As was said above, The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love.

I dislike most alternative, or rock plus or minus a few things ie. Incubus, Benjy Davis and some underground **** my friend listens too.

Anything that's a fad and everyone admits is highly annoying, but far too many people go out and buy anyways.

Milkshake is the most recent example. The list goes back through the ages with such ageless classics as Who Let the Dogs Out, Macarena, The Ketchup Song, The Hamster Dance, and that god-awful Bob the Builder monstrosity..

Oh and for the record, I like Coldplay, The Beatles, and I dont mind The Darkness or Outkast

The Massassi-Map
There is no spoon.

I only listen to the radio when I'm in the bathroom to shower or whatever, and only listen to two stations (an oldies one and a "modern rock" one, which, incidentally, plays almost no rock).

Anything by "Jet". God, they suck so hard they make a black hole look like an Amish virgin.

Additionally: The White Stripes, Coldplay, Eminem.

Further, I have the "Unholy Trinity" of songs:

* "Blisterin' in the Sun" by the Violent Femmes. Utterly irredeemable. Even the New Testament God could not forgive this monstrosity. But no one seems to agree with me.
* "Feva 4 da Flava" (or some equally incomprehesible spelling) by Hot Action Cop. It's a Red Hot Chili Peppers rip-off (who are mostly crap themselves) all about various sex acts. High art!
* "Hey ya" by Outkast. This song single handedly proves that if there is a God, He does not exist, or if He does, He is not benevolent.

With the fad of the last song over, however, a song by Jet seems likely to take over its spot...

Staind - It's Been Awhile: Working doing a painting job the week the song game out. It was on at least once an hour.

Nelly - Hot In Here: Never really liked the song, but same deal as above. Heard it way too much a the summer in came out. Now I dispise it.

Nothing that's on the charts today though, as I only listen ot the radio while I'm driving (don't own a car) or am listening to a sports game.

------------------
I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

It sucks.

I cant stand Evanesence - That "wake me up inside" song, their first major hit. reminds me of someone I'd rather forget.
I can get pretty violent if I hear the song. I HATE it!

<landfish> FastGamerr > Satan

Most Evanescence songs, anything by Eminem, Coldplay, or the Darkness, and lately, Usher with "Yeah". God, how much I hate that song..

wow, you people have so much hate.

Ha ha ha. You don't know me at all. I've been raised on everything from classical to blues to rock to jazz. The list can go on.

Now, I'm VERY open-minded about music, I have my reasons for disliking those genres.

I personally strongly dislike rap because of its repeatitiveness. The actual music to rap is virtually non-existant, it's made up for by the rapper, whom I usually find is doing nothing more that shouting.

Country? I'm sorry, but to me, they always sound like dying animals whining about their love lives or something. That, and I don't have a strong affinity for the music they play behind the lyrics.

Pop? I view it as a poor attempt to suit everyone's musical tastes. To me, it tries to combine Rap, Rock, and usually one other genre. It fails. Does it sell? Sure, but it isn't good. I also find most of the artists to be very highly overrated, most of their songs sound the same, and all have the unique ability to grind my nerves after a short amount of time.

For those three, that's probably only scratching the surface. Am I biased by what I see on TV and hear on the Radio? Hell yes. But what exactly would you LEGALLY suggest I do to become un-biased, eh? I don't buy CDs if I know nothing about what I'm purchasing. That is very, very stupid. If downloading was legal, I doubt I'd want to bother with it. On my nice little modem, an average song can take about 15 to 25 minutes to get. Imagine my annoyance if, once again, I don't know what I'm getting and when I go to listen find that I've spent 25 minutes downloading something I completely hate. That kind of limits my options a bit now doesn't it?

I don't pretend to listen to the best music ever. Every person has different tastes. My tastes involve my dislike of those genres. If I'm biased or close minded towards those genres, it isn't necessarily my fault. It's the fault of the radio and the TV showing me very selective things.

You shouldn't judge what you don't understand. Rap - like many other genres - isn't about melody. It's focused around the lyrics, which are usually composed in a similar fashion to modern poetry (of course, with street slang). Some of these genres which focus less on melody would actually sound very bad otherwise.



Another argument I've heard far too often. As you've mentioned, if most of the music you know is from the radio, then I can see why you dislike this genre, but there is good country out there - despite what everyone here seems to think. As for the whining about love lives, well that's what all love songs are about.

Try Keith Urban or Lonestar.



Pop is simply too vague to describe. There's just so much diversity, you simply can't say "I hate all pop" unless you've heard every single song by every single artist out there. Some artists (britney spears comes to mind) stick to the same style, while most tend to vary and classify into several genres - some very different from one another. In fact, pop isn't really a genre by itself - but a name given to a set of styles that are currently in fashion. Take two very different artists - say, blink182 and britney. Their music sounds nothing alike, and yet, they're both what you could call 'pop artists'.

Yep, you should listen to Flexor this time.
If you have no qualms about downloading music off p2p, you could always check out one song at a time.
I don't care if you like this kind of music, but you should at least respect some of it and not dismiss the entire genres.

Rap- There is a lot of good stuff here. I personally favor trip-hop, where I'd recommend Massive Attack, but my favorite hip-hop band is Atmosphere.

Country- Country music, or folk, used to be the music of the people. In some ways, it's closest genre is punk because there are several similar attitudes between the two. Country radio is horrible, but it's not a representation of the whole genre. For music there's of course Johnny Cash, and some recent bands are Uncle Tupelo and Wilco.

Pop- It doesn't have to be the junk on mainstream pop radio. It can also go for really catchy rock songs. You might not like pop-punk, but that's a good illustration. The Beatles were also pop.

Die Now

"This thread is still alive? Someone should kill it."

I'm going to go through and address Flexor's points and then dry gear's.



You're absolutely right, I shouldn't judge what I don't understand, but this is a major flaw among all human beings. Government is an excellent example, at least in America. I tend to be a person, who if turned off by a type of music over and over again, doesn't even want to begin to try and understand it. As I've pointed out, exposure from TV and radio has greatly effected this. I didn't quite follow the last bit of this part, but I happen to like melodies in the music I listen to. Rap and others in this category never seem to have anything descent in the melody department to me. Again, radio and TV come into play.



Oh I know there is good country out there. There is probably good music from every genre I've said that I strongly dislike. The problem is that this good music is never played or played infrequently. In terms of love songs, I don't like them at all. This could also partly explain why I don't find Country very appealing. You've suggested two artists to look into. This draws me back to my last points. Just how do I go about getting this to listen to? Buying a CD of a person I've never heard of is rather stupid in my opinion. If I hate it, I can't take it back without having to speak with the store's manager. Downloading? Well in Canada this isn't a problem, in America (what a wonderful country ) it is. Now, I have NO problems with downloading music, I'm all for it. But for the sake of argument, let's say I'm not. How do I go about seeing if I like those artists or not?



As I said before, I have no problems with it, but for the sake of an argument, if I did, then what? I never said I didn't respect it. Hell, these people make more money than I do and their music is far superior to anything I could do. Even the Rap that I find very unappealing I don't doubt is better than anything I can do. I have respect for these people. At this point I think I'll clarify and modify my initial points. I'm not saying I totally hate, despise, loathe, and dismiss these three genres. I'm saying that I find the vast majority of it intolerable to listen to, which was the purpose of this thread. For people to tell what songs/music they dislike.

Rap, Hip-hop, I'm not into any of it. I don't doubt some of it can be good, but you have to trust me on this. I know my musical tastes. Virtually everything in this genre consists of types and styles of music I just don't like. It's one of these cases where you just can't change a person's mind. I haven't heard all of it by far, but I have a friend who loves it. What I've heard him play (and he does listen to some of what has been mentioned) just doesn't appeal or strike a chord anywhere inside me.

I'll re-phrase me stand on Country now that you've mention Johnny Cash (whom I ALWAYS forget and kick myself in the *** over later). I don't like the newer stuff. Anything older though I can pretty much tolerate and listen to. It isn't anything I'd want to listen to all the time, but as a deviation from the norm every so often I'll listen to it.

For Pop, you're going by the strictest definition. In my argument, I'm aiming at what falls into the pop genre and is played as pop music. As Flexor said, this is the stuff that is based upon styles currently in fashion. I'm not sure what rock songs you are refering to, but in my listening to the local pop music station I rarely hear any rock songs that are played by the local rock station. You mentioned the Beatles. The Beatles were probably considered pop back when they were all the rage, yes. Now? Not at all. Going back to Flexor's statement, pop changes with time. So, while I'll agree that they were once pop, I wouldn't even dare to try and place them in that same category today.

I think I'm beginning to not make sense anymore and ramble, so I'm going to end this here.

Tbh i don't really have any real hate for any piece of music. I may not like some of them - but never to the extent of hate.

------------------


Sweet irony...

*heart attack*
Well, I admit, most of their newer songs (ESPECIALLY on the Reload cd) are just not my taste.
Here's my grading.
Master of Puppets ('86) = AWESOME!
Metallica (aka. "Black Album") ('91)(?) = Ok, but not too impressive.
Reload ('96)(?) = Ugh!

Okay, I understand you now Phoenix_9286, now that you've clarified your position. Sorry.
What would happen if you didn't, and you really did just dismiss those genres? Well, you wouldn't have any right to say that you aren't open minded about music.
