I don't know who sings it but "Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow" that freaks me out.
Personally I love "We built this city", "My heart will go on" was played at my friends funeral(he died when he was 11) so that's very special to me.

I would like to add anything by John Denver. I USED to really like his songs when I was a little kid, but about 8 years ago, I was listening to his greatest hits on a friend's stereo and thought, "my god!" "He sounds TERRIBLE!! He wails out of tune. The songs are just so... Whiny?

How about anything by megadeth? (lowercase M intended) The lead singer, (for lack of a more appropriate word) always sounded like he was forcing a bowel movement while trying to do vocals at the same time... pathetic.

"Disco Duck" comes to mind as another horrible, horrible song.

I'm not a big fan of Celine Dion or Michael Bolton, so mostly anything they do is up on my list.

I also can't stand that stupid "It's your birthday song" by 50 Cent, I think.

Anything by Cyndi Lauper, Brittany Spears (She can dance though), and Michael Bolton.

off.

I hate "Imagine" by John Lennon and that "Jack and Diane" song. "Here is a little ditty about Jack and Diane." I hate these songs. I just turn the radio off for about 10 minutes. I can do it. I refuse to listen. The same way I don't have cable and I don't watch TV. I could hook my TV up to the antenna. It is there. I was there when I bought my home. But I refuse. I now enjoy the silence. And so do my cats.

Hey hey, Cyndi Lauper is a cool 80's chick.
I like her, at least she didn't dress like a tramp or s**t like Brittany. I don't think Brittany can dance either. I can dance better than her. But, Brittany is fake anyway. She isn't real, she just gets up on stage and dances to a prerecorded sound track.
I don't listen to the radio either. To much corporate produced, forced down your throat music (Brittany, Christina, Back street boys etc.) I have a HUGE CD collection, over 500+ including, Cyndi Lauper
, so the only time on turn on the radio is for news or a traffic report on my way to work.

I've pretty much stopped listening to the radio except for a local station that plays Jazz and Classical music.

Anyone annoyed by "The Lion Sleeps Tonight?"

The funny thing is that a couple of days ago I discovered what immediately became my favorite rock song of all time: Jeff Buckley's "Lover You Should've Come". I've listened to it about seventy times since Friday and I still can't fully assimilate its' greatness. In fact, I'm listening to it right now. With my cats, of course.

But let's cry over spilt milk, shall we? For your perusal, I present non-obscure, non-Dr. Demento type songs. And no songs that are so bad that they're guilty pleasures. Definitely some half-hearted rehashes that some bands resort to, echoing a previous hit song, more often than not a ballad. Case in point, Foreigner's "I Don't Want To Live Without Your Love". If I step on any toes, sorry, it's all in the spirit of irrelevant fun. I'm aiming at the product, as opposed to art. Bon appetit!

1. "It's Hip To Be Square" by Huey Lewis and the News. Hey, psst, Huey, check this out: No it's not.
2. "Dancing In the Streets", Mick Jagger and David Bowie. Pointless and bland.
3. Don't know about you, but I lunge at the radio to change the dial the instant I detect the first chords of "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.
4. "That Don't Impress Me Much" by Shania Twain infuriates me completely.
5. "Satisfy My Love" by Elton John leaves my love completely unsatisfied.
6. "Hot Girls In Love" by Loverboy. Yuck.
7. Kenny G, anybody? No? How about Yanni? Didn't think so. Sorry.
8. Any ballad by Rod Stewart after 1982, you know, when he wasn't even pretending to try anymore.
9. I'm gonna get controversial here: "We Are The World". Smug and with a saccharine aftertaste. "Do They Know It's Christmas?" was infinitely better.
10. The theme to Robin Hood by Bryan Adams.

Guilty pleasures!!!
1. "Mr. Roboto" by Styx.
2. "Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce" by none other than The King, Elvis Presley.
3. "Dur Dur D'etre Bebe" by Jordy the french brat. Classic cringer, I can't believe I haven't seen it mentioned! How quickly we forget.

There you have it. As an antidote, may I suggest playing some Marvin Gaye at full blast.

Movin' on up!
I can't stand anything, by the Doors.

Guilty pleasures: Rhino Records' collections of non-singers covering popular tunes. William Shatner's version of "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" is priceless!
