My all time, of all time, most HATED person in music. Gene Simmons. One of the most arrogant, self-centered piece of crap to ever walk the earth. (Yes, met him in person once, didn't change my opinion of him). I refuse to put a single penny into his pocket by buying anything KISS. :mad:

I don't really have an opinion of GS as a person... mostly because I change the channel whenever any member of Kiss comes on or whenever anyone talks about the band. Likewise I won't read any magazine articles about them simply because I think their music is utter sh*t.

I have agreed with many of the choices listed here. I've been astounded at others that are some of my favorites. I've never even heard of many. I'm sure I have a long list, but for now:

ANY of the many newer country songs that written with the sole intention of trying to make someone cry...forget it.

Rap.

And to me, the all time worst song ever is Walking on Sunshine. I have never heard anything that annoys be so badly.

Kelly :)

I think most of Kiss' songs fall into the "gaghurlpuke" category.

The songs themselves or just him doing them?

- Jake

From what I've heard, Cyndi is a much better singer.

- Jake

New song I absolutely cannot stand -- the Listen To Your Heart remake that's playing every twenty minutes :rolleyes:

Oh, my, I heard that. But even worse, yesterday I heard a remake of Refugee. Oh. Oh, noyoudidn't!

Also, I'd like to add that you're all wrong about Gwen. She wasn't stick thin when trapped in a box and spiderwebs came out, and don't speak, too. She's only gotten that thin pretty recently. And I don't think she's just "quircky", I think she's very talented. mmmkay.

Sometimes I like this song, sometimes its annoying.

And I STILL don't understand what the hell it means!

1. What is a hollaback girl?

2. What the hell does bananas have to do with anything?

Maybe if I understood what the heck she is saying I would like it more - I just don't know . . .

It's not the kind of song that has deep meaning, so just let it go, stomp your feet, shake your booty, feel the beat, and yell along with it :woohoo:

No, I know that she wasn't but note her popularity didn't skyrocket until she got herself incredibly skinny (now).

Her popularity skyrocketed first, IMO, with Don't Speak. And actually, she's had a pretty nice plateu all along, as far as popularity goes. :shrug: She's just a little more naked now than she used to be.

See, now, I think people started to take notice to her when Don't Speak came out. Then, there was a period of time when you didn't hear anything from No Doubt. Then came Return To Saturn, etc. There was a bit of a lull where Gwen wasn't really heard from. She is far more popular now since she's married her husband, put out a clothing line, made a cameo in a major motion picture, and released her solo album. Why? because the label had a lot invested in her as a solo artist so they're going to whore her out. Her album has sold well and she's incredibly successful, IMO.

Okay. There was a tiny lull, but I don't think people just "took notice" of her during Don't Speak time. That album was a huge smash, and there were like, 4 videos out from it. She may be even more popular now, but I think it's from the material and the media saturation - her label and she are promoting the sh** out of her. Which I think is fine. But I don't think it's because she is "skinnier". It's not like she was fat before. Not at all. Not even a smidge. And remember, Rock Steady, with her band, was pretty smashariffic, too. :woohoo:

No, but clearly she keeps getting thinner because she feels the pressure to stay in the spotlight. I read an interview with her a month or so ago and she spoke about how she starves herself to be thin. And yes, it wasn't until Don't Speak and that album that people began to take notice of her and the band started to develop a larger following. However, this is a different type of music -- she's crossing over genres (partly because of who she works with as well) and gaining pop fans, rap fans, rock fans, etc. -- people that normally wouldn't buy a No Doubt album.
