That just seems so cruel!

She wants to be a donor.

FYI, I Got the donors card punched on my drivers License lest you consider me crass and without feeling. Okay I can be crass.

Krasnov, on the other hand, not welcome at all!

Didn't like the movie

Celine is okay but she has no subtlety in her interpretations.

Just my opinion.

Thanks for sharing the clip! Just hysterical.

"Oh, she's a destitute lounge singer from Quebec and Let's keep it that way, please."

Priceless.

Enjoy your week, Ilsa.

read the comments. I laughed until I cried.

A picture of All four Beatles standing around and one asks the others “any ideas on how to finish Hey Jude?”

It was so much fun back in the long ago day.

As usual, Everything Trump Touches Dies and this song will forever be connected to the Felon-in-Chief.

who loved the song. Now, it just reminds me of the Orange Menace.

Betty Davis Eyes. I hated that song and would rush to turn the radio station, anytime it played. I still loathe it. I made one of my friends at work laugh, because I said some one should send Kim Carnes four dozen crates of throat lozenges and do us all a favor. My throat hurt just listening to her. Torture on my ears.

UGH

FWIW.

I'm 0 for 2.

the reason I mentioned it was because I heard it while shopping for groceries just a few days ago and I was gritting my teeth and almost abandoned my merch to flee......I was literally saying under my breath, shut up, SHUT UP! I do admit I have misophonia so a LOT of sounds drive me nuts. As far as that OTHER song goes - it's good in the movie, NOT so good standalone. Yes INDEED.

but when everybody in the world started singing it - especially those who don't have a prayer of singing it right - they just wore it out.

I hated it the first time I heard it......treacly screeching.

The Beatles did have some monotonous songs. For me, right up there is also Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I love the Beatles and don't mean to list two, but their Yeah Yeah Yeah songs were very bland to me.

as in, soppy.

They're the one 70s act I just can't stand. There is just nothing there for me.

Steely Dan's music is extremely sophisticated and the musical performances from every musician on every track are professional and profound.

Still, I understand some people's reticence because their lyrics are so obtuse as to be somewhat incomprehensible.

Yet their orchestrations and performances demonstrate superior musicianship. For example, listen to their song "Aja.": The structure of the composition is sophisticated and the playing by the musicians is amazing. Listen to Wayne Shorter's sax solo! And Steve Gadd's drum solo at the end of this epic song is beyond description except to say he's inspired!

And yet, to each their own. We recently saw the Bob Dylan film and I hate his voice and performances. Yet many of his songs are exceptional. Timothy Chalamet was terrific and he actually plays all the guitar parts! I didn't want to see the film but my wife insisted. Chalamet won me over. (I still hate Dylan's voice and performances!)

I've been a Dan Fan since Katy Lied. The song "Doctor Wu" has an incredibly inventive piano part and it inspired some of my musical endeavors.

Enjoy whatever moves you! That's one of the many things that makes music incredible.

I was just learning about them when I saw them on a double, they were new and opened for Zappa (with Flo and Eddie). I was taken by them. Not a huge fan by any means but I do think there is a lot of talent there. Wayne Shorter, what a huge loss to music that was.

Just poking in because I wanted to put a star on Dan. I really hate judging music like this. It is such a personal love. I am a retired classical music player and the things said about that are sometimes just stupid funny.

Brilliant musicianship, inspired lyrics. Great band. My favorite Steely Dan song? Probably "Do It Again."

My favorite? Probably "Aja." Or maybe "Babylon Sisters."

Again, for me it's the musicianship and the intelligent lyrics.

...and hasn't gotten any beter. One of the worst song of all time--almost as bad as "Muskrat Love" or Danny's Dumb Song."

Steely Dan’s music is so beautiful. It is quite revolutionary in its rock, pop, jazz melding. The musicianship is awesome. I personally love the lyrics as much as the musicIt’s all so beautifully inevitable. Funny how it’s labeled “yacht rock” because to me it’s so un-yachty.

Though I think I like one of The Beach Boys songs.

I can't stand them & consider them the most overrated band in rock history.
Dire Straits I loved until Mark bought a distortion pedal. They lost their uniqueness when that guitar tone went away, and I thought he chose very poorly on his distorted tone. So, we disagree there.
As to Steely Dan, we disagree tremendously.
Bit, since the one we agree on is the Beach Boys, that's plenty good enough.
Oh, and I don't like ANY of their songs.

Agree on Steely Dan…. I don’t understand the Steely Dan hate out there.

There are loads of artists that people would hate that I love.... so I get it.

The first is easy. They're the artists I like.
The second is those bands I don't care for, but understand why others do.
The third are bands I don't like and can't understand why anybody does.
The Beach Boys are leading the parade in Category 3.

Mike Love is a horrible loathsome toad.

Hence, most people's love hate relationship with the beach boys.

Just couldn't get into their sound.

They are an act I should like. But for whatever reason they don't do anything for me. 2 great composers, but they're not a real band and thus they have no album flow is I think the reason I could never get into them.

I tried listening to them, but they really don't do much for me.

To each their own.

Just bland, light jazz/pop.

I've actually changed stations when that came on, returned ten minutes later, and the song was still playing.

Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5. I watched a co-worker kick a jukebox in when he got tired of that damn song playing on the jukebox.

their songs and recognized one title - I Think I Love You.

Which was horrible, so I will now try to forget it again.

where he brags about getting laid.

I was visiting my best friend and her sister put on a CD of his greatest hits and that's when I realized I didn't like any of his songs.

Those songs are perfect 10's.

Of the Lost Chord. Schmaltz either way.

whatever burbled in Hallelujah all over again.

Hard to imagine anyone else could have written it.

Both make one's spirit gag.

Thank you.

The repetition gives me a headache.

grade. Seems like yesterday but over 55 years ago. Sigh

Has beisbol bene berra berra gude to you?

And every song Michael Jackson and his siblings ever did. I'll stop there.

Here's a guy who's telling his woman how he was never there for her; never paid any attention to her; little things he should have said and done, he "just never took the time" but he was thinking about her. Is there really a woman out there who will say "Awwww, that's so sweet. You totally blew off all the time but you were thinking about me. That's more than enough for me; of course I'll give you another chance." Please.

Another song, and I hate to say this because I love Stevie Wonder and think he's a musical genius, is "I Just Called to Say I Love You." It's as if he just came out of anesthesia after major surgery and was told he had minute-and-a-half to write a song and that's all he could come up with.

Our joke was they only know three chords.

...uses 5 chords.
Nearly every one of them.

It was so overplayed I can't stand hearing it.

by Barry Manilow

Especially if she had a gun and it was your radio.

Back in the day, even people who absolutely HATED Barry Manilow loved that song!

True story.

I hate Culture Club. Every time the song "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" would come on I would shout out, "Yes! I really do want to hurt you!"

Now I have it my head and will be humming it to myself all day, yikes.

Free Turd.

...all of which go nowhere.
Hammer pentatonic riff 8 times, then hammer a pentatonic riff 8 times, then hammer a pentatonic riff 8 times....
For 6 minutes.
There is no good guitar playing on that song with the possible exception of the opening slide riff.
As you can tell, I'm not a fan either.

...give me Duane Allman, Ry Cooder, Lowell George and Sonny Landreth

Dave Hole has chops too...

A few more i think are excellent:
Dickie Betts
Don Felder
Billy Gibbons
Ronnie Montrose
Joe Walsh

The 5 of them all very different, but play superb stuff.

BTW: what are your go-to guitars?
For me it's a JS-1000, a MiM Strat, a MiA Tele. I have 4 more, but these are the 3 I rely on.
On acoustic my main 6 string is a Martin D-18CE, and a Carvin Cobalt as my main 12 string.
I have 4 others, in different tunings, 3 six & 2 twelve strings..

A Jackson Dinky Rev Professional (DK5) made by superb builders Chushin of Japan
their products equal the best 90's US made Jackson/Charvels

Schecter Solo 6 gold top... swapped out w/P90s

and my all-time favorite guitar is my Parker PM-20 Mappa Burl with its heel-less neck..

hmmm

here you go:



and the front:

I have a Schecter, too.
It's a C-1 Blackjack. It's the guitar is use when I just have to have humbuckers & a fixed bridge.
Still a Fender scale, so not a Les Paul substitute. But, it plays easily, sound & looks good.
Since I have all my guitars hanging in the rec room (on the walls where the piano isn't), so looking nice is a pretty big deal.

The lyrics are about liberal progressivism

The lyrics are about liberal progressivism

The ultimate nepo-baby even right down to the name check.

That song is so cringe.

But honestly, the "duo" she recorded for "Unforgettable" was the worse. Absolutely ruined a classic from an all time great.

Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond)
Take On Me (a-Ha)
Low (Flo Rida)
I Melt With You (Modern English)
Billie Jean (Michael Jackson)
A Bar Song (Tipsy) (Shaboozey)
Red Solo Cup (some Country galoot)

Whoever decided that song should be part of every sporting event should be shot.

Seemed appropriate. I didn't hate Sweet Caroline, just indifferent to it, but generally I can't stand Neil Diamond. His raspy voice makes my skin crawl. But this thread is supposed to be about specific songs that lots of people love, but you can't stand.

She makes a horrible screeching sound.

Christmas song

The torturing of rhymes is downright sadistic.

I don’t care what it’s about, I hate fucking sea shanties, and anything that sounds like sea shanties, like Boston bar songs. (I’m lookin’ at you, Billy Joel.)

I detested that song.

Country Roads

"Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. That "bustle in the hedgerow" line makes me want to flee, retching.

In fact, anything by Billie Eilish. Who told her she could sing? She's terrible.

doesn't matter which one, because they are literally the same.

I like country, but modern country is really paint by numbers song crafting. If AI were a genre, modern country is the target.

I liked the original British blues band. But then they sold out and just made a bunch of commercial garbage.

People I mention it to act like they've never even heard of it.

"There's a place down in Mexico where man can fly over mountains and hills"...

Their later stuff that everyone raved about sounded like banal pop to me.

It's a drag.

Their harmonies were like fingernails on the chalkboard.

Can't stand that one about the lights going out in Massachusetts.
