Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower
Anything by Oasis Nearly everything by The Velvet Underground. Sorry but their music just does absolutely nothing for me EXCEPT (Yes there is an 'except')..................Who Loves The Sun. I quite like that record |

Best Things In Life Are Free ( Janet & Luther)
Disliked that song from day one. The Beatles.... the list would be too long. |

Let us take the opportunity to add, by sheer incredulity of length at #1, that 'One Dance' bilge by Drake or Mallard or whatever it's called. Utter, unutterable bilge that completely sums up why the current generation's musical 'taste' is held in such contempt. Nursery rhymes have more prose and depth.

Every post here has mentioned the limited playlists of British radio, no wonder you are all fed up with the same stuff pumped out, many great songs boring us all to death through the corporate blare.
Also, you can hear a song (that you initially liked) so many times that you don't really listen to it any more. One I despise is 'I Don't Like Mondays' - Boomtown Rats. |

I absolutely hate "More Than Words" by Extreme.
![]() The music is dull and the singers sound insincere and whiny. |

I hate, hate, hate Bohemian Rhapsody. Don't see the appeal at all. I do think my strong feelings against it are mostly triggered by the praise it gets though, because I just don't get it!

I can't understand why Against All Odds is so popular. It's a dull song even though I like Phil Collins

The Who's My Generation and Substitute are over-rated. Others of their songs such as I Can't Explain, Magic Bus, Who Are You? and You Better You Bet are good though.
The best Queen song was I'm In Love With My Car, possibly because Roger Taylor wrote it and sang on it. |

I think almost the complete opposite of that. I like I Can't Explain and all the early singles up to The Seeker, but hated Won't Get Fooled Again (an old-fashioned rock dirge) and almost everything that came after that. Magic Bus, Who Are You? and You Better You Bet are awful. |

I think it's because of the "and you coming BACK to me!" bit. He gives it some welly and sounds like he means it, unlike many of his other ballads, which just seemed to come off a production line in the mid to late '80s.

When it comes to The Who I have to agree with this ^^.

he DID mean it, he wrote against all odds when his marriage was breaking up, for me, i can understand completely that song because i applied it to myself when i went through a painful split.

Mr Brightside by The Killers
I really don't get why the dreary monotone dirge is so popular. I really like The Killers and I like just about everything they've done, apart from this. Weirdly it seems to be everybody else's favourite Killers track. |

I know this will be anathema to many people but I really can't stand The Wall. Comfortably Numb was the one track I thought was okay but I've got sick of that through hearing it too often. I absolutely hated the single and thought the whole pretentious album was just a case of privileged public schoolboys playing at being anarchists.
