So, I got the new Guitar Hero game and took a look at the playlist and was horrified to see "Losing My Religion." It dawned on me that mostly likely I was going to have to play this song at least once and my heart sank. In an attempt to pull something positive out of the horrible development, I was inspired to come up with this week's top 5, Top 5 Songs That Make You Want To Find A Sharp Object, Grip It As Tight As Possible, And Jamb It Repeatedly Into Your Ear Until The Intense Pain Drowns Out The Horrible Music. I won't include links. I wouldn't want to torture you anymore then reading this will.
5. Mr. Jones - Counting Crows
I'm not sure what it is that I hate so much about this song. I just do. I always have. From the first minute I heard it. Maybe it's Adam Durtiz's horrible singing. Maybe it's his pretentious lyrics. Maybe it was just his dreads. Anyway you look at it, I really do not like this song and will turn off any radio that attempts to play it.
4. Bills, Bills, Bills - Destiny's Child
This song is just fucking stupid, much like anything sung by Beyonce. It hurts my brain to listen to anything that she sings, but this song takes the cake.
3. Losing My Religion - REM
I hate REM and I have hated them from the moment I heard this song. It bores the piss out of me. I'm not sure what all those college kids found so enjoyable about Michael Stipe's whining. The band's "genius" was totally lost on me. There is only one of their songs I could stand, the rest could burn in hell for all I care.
2. Umbrella - Rihanna
I don't get it. Not for a second. People go on about how great her voice is and all I hear is some horrible hack making the word umbrella last as long as humanly possible by singing each syllable as many times as she can without the person recording the song coming out from the booth and punching her in the face. The only thing this song is good for is annoying the heck out of your co-workers and why anyone would choose to listen to it otherwise is beyond me.
1. Zombie - The Cranberries
Holy cow, do I hate this band!! I could have easily made this list just their songs, but I thought it would be more fun to only list one per artist. The element that adds to my hatred of almost all the songs on this list, is how popular they became. How anyone can stand hearing Dolores O'Riordan carry on like a devil possessed banshee over and over again is beyond me. It pains me to say anything bad about anything Irish, but this is not an Irish product to be proud of.
Honorable Mentions - like I said anything by REM and The Cranberries could have made the list, Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) - Beyonce, Crank That (Soulja Boy) - Soulja Boy Tell 'Em
How surprised are you that Dave Matthews appears nowhere on this post?
Wow, there is some hate there... I hate the Single Ladies Song! So much so I used to make my coworkers shut off the radio or at least turn the volume off when it played on the radio. The only time I could stomach that song was the SNL skit.
ReplyDeleteI also used to hate the Macarena and took to pissing people off by singing the Spanish parts in English. Which made that song a little more fun for me but the Macarenasses were not so appreciative.
