e.g I heard a snippet of Layla by Derek and the Dominos and was reminded just how much i hate that song. .. there are songs i didn't like when i was younger but now like/or don't mind but that one remains high on my list of loathed songs.

Wonderwall is always held up as a classic. I think it's a whiny dirge.

Spandau Ballet - True Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You U2 - One Ultravox - Vienna Robbie Williams - Angels Ben E King - Stand By Me Tedious dirges them all., IMHO of course! |

Does The Lady In Red count? I'm sure Chris De Burgh thinks it's a classic but it has me running out the room with my fingers in my ears every time.

Imagine for sure. There was a thread elsewhere about John Lennon and from other stuff I have read about him, he was a pretty cynical and selfish man for much of his life and the lyrics just seem too good to be true.
Eye of the Tiger, I hate boxing, and Im instantly suspicious of anyone who claims to be inspired by this song! I preferred the KYTV version 'Nose of the Leopard' ![]() American Pie, no particular reason, I just don't get what's so great about it, it sounds like a buskers song. Coming from Manchester, ANYTHING by the Stone Roses. Men my age go misty eyed for them, I do not get it at all. I kept hearing about 'Spike Island', if everyone who claims to have been there was there, Spike island must be the size of Cuba

Any of Robbie Williams' hits but especially Angels, whichs makes me want to tear my own ears off.

Not sure if it is considered a classic, but Celine Dion's-'My heart will go on' This song is probably Celine's most known song, but I can't stand it.

As a standalone, I'm not bothered about it, but when playing The Wall in full (as it should be played), it is brilliant. Fits in perfectly. |

Imagine , for me . Boring and hopelessly naive idealism , from someone who wouldn't have known the real world from an acid trip .

Wouldn't say I despise it but Hotel California is very overrated. People consider it to be one of the best songs ever but there are many better songs both by the Eagles and in general
