What are some songs that you just absolutely cannot stand? Songs so putrid they make you want to punch the artists’ mother for allowing such grotesqeness to even be possible? Here’s a few of mine in no particular order save for the first one. Note, in most of these cases I can’t stand the artist as a whole and the song I picked is just a representation of their entire body of work.
Shiny Happy People - R.E.M. Superman - 3 Doors Down Janie’s Got a Gun - Aerosmith The Unforgiven - Metallica Pink Houses - John Cougar Mellencamp Peaceful Easy Feeling - The Eagles Truckin’ - Grateful Dead American Woman - the Lenny Kravitz version

FYI The Unforgiven is a great song. I would say that Thunder song on all the time now. That song sucks and is played 20 times a day on the radio. I hate 90% of modern music though.

How Deep Is Your Love
It caused me a headache the first time I heard it. The next time I heard it was in a friend's friend's car and I immediately got out of the car on some pretext. I didn't even ask him to stop playing that song because I didn't want to even talk about it. I just got out. It disgusts me.

I agree about the Thunder one, assume you’re talking about Imagine Dragons, a band way more popular than they deserve to be. As for Metallica, I like them, or at least liked them, but that song is god-awful. The entire Black Album sucks as a whole except for Enter Sandman.

Four Non Blondes - What’s going on ? I refuse to listen to that steaming pile of garbage. It stands head and shoulders above all other pop songs as the one I detest the most. There are a few others that regularly get me changing stations mostly due to not liking them in the first place, plus having to hear them over and over again : Love her madly - The doors Light my fire - the doors Hotel California - Eagles Spirit in the sky - (unknown) That God on a bus song

The other one is by Joan Osborne and called One of Us, written by Philly’s own Eric Bazilian of The Hooters. Despite that the song still kinda sucks.

Terrible in every way, especially to me as a musician. No skill put into the song in the slightest. I prefer Unforgiven to Enter Sandman. I like Enter Sandman, but I have heard that song so many times I can never listen to it again. I am just tired of Metallica, but Master of Puppets will still be one of the greatest metal albums ever.

I liked the black album when it came out but the entire thing got so much radio play I never want to hear any of those songs again for the rest of eternity. Anything after that album is pure garbage.

REM has a few songs I enjoy, but they also have some of the worst songs imaginable. I honestly don't know which song is worse, Shiny Happy People or E verybody Hurts. Ironic how these two songs convey completely opposite messages but are both absolutely terrible.

The bitch can’t sing, it’s got a shit melody, and the lyrics make no fucking sense.

Fun fact: I hate Pearl Jam. Hate them. Any or all of their songs would make a 'worst songs' list if I bothered to make one. I don't think about songs I hate unless I hear them, and since I listen to XM and personal playlists almost exclusively, I'm mercifully not subjected to music I detest very often anymore.

As for the Metallica conversation - still one the best metal bands out there. Especially considering the amount of bullshit Nu-Metal and post grunge, wannabe punk rock shit that gets dished up nowadays. At least Metallica do their own shit, their own way. Green Day is in the same boat. The problem I always think Metallica have is that they released 4 albums in a row that were so good, they cannot live up to their own hype. Imagine if Master of Puppets were released today ? Holy fuck it would be breaking records left and right.......

Imagine Dragons aren't even a band; they're more like an advertisement agency disguised as a band. Ever notice how all of their songs get used in 1,058 commercials, promos, etc.? Ever try to actually listen to the lyrics? It's all babble. They have a catchy hook and a chorus that gets drilled into your brain through repetition, but the rest of the lyrics to any of their songs are just incoherent babbling that usually has nothing to do with the chorus. They write those songs for the expressed purpose of being used in ads; there's no substance to their music at all.

It comes down to Peak vs. Longevity. Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets are legendary albums. And Justice For All is a very good album but is the worst produced album ever for a major band. Nearly everything else after that sucks. Megadeth on the other hand doesn’t have a run like those first three Metallica albums but consistently put out great metal throughout their career. The Friedman / Menza era was more talented than any Metallica lineup. So who do you pick?

Insert any C/W song here ______________________ . Insert any Rap song here ______________________ . Insert any Hip/Hop song here _______________________ .
I assume you hate the Grateful Dead altogether. I did too until I went to see a Dead show in 1983 or 1984. A big Deadhead wanted me to take her and led me to believe she would shower sexual favors if I did (and she did, but I never drank the Kool-Aid). I walked away a Dead fan. Incredible musicians. I do realize that their style isn't for everyone (another is Frank Zappa) but it was a hell of a show. And it was the only band to care more for their fans than money.
And how can you hate a song that has the line "Truckin' up to Buffalo" in it.

They’re too noodly for me, never got into the whole deadhead thing.

Their music is just more interesting and dynamic to me. I LOVED Dystopia too and that is their newest one. Megadeth still puts out quality. Metallica is just too generic. Even though I loved them back in the day, all their songs start to sound the same after a while. Lars can only play one beat and Kirk is an average guitarist who never met a song that couldn't use the wah pedal. Megadeth has so many different albums with different sounds and their music is just more technical and interesting to me.
