ugh motherfuck*ng les mis - more like LAME IS amirite - that show is so overdone and overwrought and horrible i'd use my time machine to erase it from existence. right after i fix the 2000 election and win myself the lottery.

i really have to finish building it.

Your like Patton Oswalt.  He wants to go back in time to kill George Lucas before he can make the prequels.

[rowboat]

Firstly....

One Week - Barenaked Ladies

The level of loathing that I hold for this song is the standard by which I measure my displeasure regarding all others.

Of course. Congratulations - you have a soul.

Then....

'black hole sun' ruined 1995 for me. and '96.

Thank you. I have had way too many friends down the years who have tried to defend that band to me. And to them I say....

Spoon Man?  What the hell was up with that.  So bad.

Elsewhere....

My #1 most-despised pop song is...

(drum roll please)....

Don't Go Chasin' Waterfalls.

I have to say that I've always had a soft for that song. When it came out I was in a pretty all-encompassing punk phase and I still thought it cooked (which probably should've been a pretty clear indication that my future would be more Belle & Sebastian and less Circle Jerks). I'm not gonna try to defend it, but I have to be honest about it; I still like it all these years later.

And....

One that I currently hate more than anything is that damn Taylor Swift song "Love Story."

Can't say that I've ever heard it, but from scanning the lyrics I can say that she could use a lesson from Mark Knopfler on the subject of incorporating that particular storyline into a pop song. He's the only one who ever did it right and he did it so right.

And finally....

....I could never get through the song Dead. It just bugged the crap out of me.

But...but those are the best lyrics they ever wrote.... You cannot be serious.

P.S.

Also, there is a terrible cover of the already terrible Toto song Africa which instantly causes me to change the station.

Ray and I could not possibly disagree with you more.

P.P.S.
I haven't been listening to the radio much so far in the 21st century, but the worst popular song that has managed to reach me against all odds in the last year or so would have to be either "I Kissed a Girl" or maybe something by that annoying, talentless little pissant Soulja Boy.

Re: Romeo and Julet

You could have just as easily linked to the actual song

[Choop]

the hell's wrong with kissed a girl? i liked it.

Oh, it's just that whole faux-lesbian "Look at me, look at me! I'm a girl kissing a girl! Isn't that hot boys!?" thing. I think I just saw too much of that in various dance clubs down the years and hearing a song that so artlessly perpetuated it was just too much.

Not to mention the fact that it's just boilerplate tripe. That doesn't help either.

[littlefallsmets]

boilerplate tripe.

Sounds like a dish on one of those "White Guy Eats Foods Not Normally in White Culture and We're Supposed to be Grossed-Out" shows on cable.

"In this episode, Chip Pilkington the Third goes to Oaxaca and eats boilerplate tripe!"

[miles]

"Look at me, look at me! I'm a girl kissing a girl! Isn't that hot boys!?"

Kind of.

[Choop]

yes it's hot. have you seen katy perry's rack. so what if it's pap, it's pop.

Oh, I forgot how good that is.

Hey, wouldn't "I forgot how good that is" make a much better thread? Why do we keep having these threads where we use music to inflict pain on one another?

[theinevitable]

there is this current popular rap song that has the creepiest backing vocals I've ever heard, but I don't know how to describe it or find it.

The lyric is something like "why would you wanna break up" in this incredibly creepy voice that makes me think of a serial killer. like the voice where you are calm, but about to murder someone.

Rent is horrible. That Toto song is something that... even as a kid I knew it was horrible, but it is catchy.

Whenever someone gives me shit about liking something poppy, I feel the need to punish them by listening to something really abrasive. It is not a good impulse.

"You think it's "gay" that I like Stevie Wonder? Fuck you. We're listening to hardcore punk for the rest of this drive. What's the matter, this is too loud for you? Gosh man, make up your mind."

Sounds like somebody misses the earworms thread!

[Lister]

Although I generally like Ben Folds (with or without the Five), the song Brick is the only song that is so depressing it made me late to work.

NO.

Yes.
