MasterT Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Anything from The Who makes me want to pound nails into my skull just to escape the pain in my ears! Pinball Wizard has to be the worst song ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Darkness" is definitly one of those acts that I just simply didn't "get". Radio DJ's, both on the local FM stations as well as on XM Radio's XM-41 station kept talking this up as this cool new band with a great '80s sound. I listened to them, and frankly, I thought they sucked. That voice annoyed me to no end, to the point I flipped to another station whenever that song came on. Interestingly, it seems that XM-41 "Boneyard" station does not play them anymore, at least I have not heard them recently. I don't know if the local FM stations still play them, though, as I hardly ever listen to the local station anymore, prefering to listen to XM Radio or to my CDs.

You probably have to listen to lots of FM for this to apply, otherwise you would never buy it. I believe there are two styles of music that make you cringe. The first is when you are overexposed to something that has some intrinsic worth. First time you hear it, the reaction is 'wow - who was that? ' You run out and buy the CD or album and play it to death. Days, weeks or months later, you don't care if you ever hear it again, and finally, years later when you hear it on the golden oldies, it sounds tired and stale. I also have this reaction with the more popular Eagles and Pink Floyd tunes that have run their course and are worn out. However, if you get into earlier or less popular releases like Eagles - 'On the Border' or Pink Floyd's 'Animals' or 'Atom Heart Mother', there is still enough novelty to the music to make it enjoyable. Then, there's tunes that make you gag from the word go. A classic example of this is the fortunately almost forgotten ditty 'Norman' by Sue Thompson in 1961. I'm listening to it now as I type this. Infantile baby doll voice, banal humming and cooing, and an insipid brass section with percussion that sounds like babies sifting broken glass. Then there's the lyrics.....arggghhhh! In the spirit of this thread, let me share them with you. Norman , ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Norman, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Norman, Norman, my love Jimmy called me on the phone but I was gone, not at home Cuz I was out parked all alone with darlin' Norman Bill invited me to a show but I said no, cannot go There's a dress that I've got to sew and wear for Norman Norman holds me close to him, Norman kisses me and then Norman knows my heart belongs to him and him and only him, oh Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ohh, ooh, ooh, ooh Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ohh, ooh, ooh, ooh Norman, Norman, my love Joey asked me for a date, he wanted to take me out to skate But I told Joey he would have to make 'rangements with Norman Norman is my only love, Norman's all I'm thinking of Norman gives me all his lovin', kissin', huggin', lovey-dovin' Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Norman, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Norman, Norman, my love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvencius Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hearing even two notes of any Celine Dion song has me looking for some knitting needles to pound into my ears in hopes that the agony will go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignorance_is_not_bliss Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Agreed, Celine Dion needs to be sat upon, forcefed cake, and given singing lessons. (chewing on antacids while typing this) Whitney Houston ANY remake of a 70's song done after 1979 Pictures -Sheryl Crow and whatshisnuts Hank Wiliams Sr. "Don't Go breaking my heart" Anything by Billy Ocean Being a karaoke singer (sometimes) if I EVER have to hear "Friends in Low Places" (Garth Brooks) or "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" (David Allen Coe) again, it will be too soon.

dblue Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Anything by Nickelback, Godsmack, Creed, 3 Doors Down, Staind, or any of these other butt-rock, no-talent, pop masked in heavy guitar hacks. If I have to hear one more song about how their girlfriend's a Wh*!&, or she dumped them, or about how their parent's mistreated their suburban spoiled asses, I'll puke. Some of the worst music I've heard in my life is now on the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Strange how a killer recording can make you reconsider a particular song that previously made you cringe. Smilin sent me a copy of one of the new Elton John SACDs and the recording is so good, I've listened to it 2 or 3 times already without cringing! Tiny Dancer and Levon both used to make me cringe when they came on the radio. Now they ain't so bad! BTW - ALL of the recent EJ SACD releases are amazing. They BLOW AWAY GBYBR! Honky Chateau kicks a$$! Now it doesn't bother me so much that I sold all my EJ LPs (not that it ever really did!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Jimmy Buffet. Saw him open for Bob Seger once back in the 70's and wasn't impressed. I was drunk, but not drunk enough I guess. What makes it worse is we have "parrot heads" at work who will listen to absolutely NOTHTHING else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dblue Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Maybe I was a bit harsh...no talent...I was referring to their cookie-cutter, derivative, color-by-numbers song writing. I will not deny that they're 'good' musicians, as far as technical prowess goes. But the same can be said about Christina Aguilera....
