That falls into the "Played so dang much we all are sick of it" category.

I can't stand that stupid U2 song where Bono starts off by saying "Uno, dos, tres, catorce."


I dropped out of Spanish class but I still know that catorce means FOURTEEN and it annoys the sh*t out of me everytime I hear it.

Other songs I can't stand (off the top of my head):

"Landslide" (in any form - but most especially as performed by the Dixie B*tches)

"Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani

"How Sweet It Is" by James Taylor (Pure sap! As far as I'm concerned, only one man can get away with singing sappy songs and not totally nauseate me... and I'm sure you can guess who that is )

"Go Your Own Way" as performed by Wilson Phillips. (OMFG they totally raped that song of everything that made it great.)

"Pinball Wizard" by The Who (I think, anyways)

"Levon" by Elton John (something about the way he pronounces "garage" just irritates me)

That's all for now...

I think these are my ten worst, in order:

1) Electric Avenue - Eddie Grant
2) Just A Friend - Biz Markie (I had to look up this guy's name )
3) Batdance - Prince
4) Walking On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves
5) One More Night - Phil Collins
6) Macarena
7) She's Like The Wind - Patrick Swayze
8) On My Own - Patti Labelle & Michael McDonald
9) Lucky Star - Madonna
10) All Night Long - Lionel Ritchie

I actually love these songs

(That's right.... I LIKE PHIL COLLINS and I'm not ashamed to admit it.)

No problem.
I like Landslide, Levon, How Sweet It Is, and Pinball Wizard.
So we'll just agree that my taste is better than yours and call it even.

You like "How Sweet It Is"???????

That song seriously makes me want to vomit everytime I hear it (which is just about every day because it plays on the sound system at work).

James Taylor's voice is usually a downer IMO, but on that one he actually sounds happy, and I like it.
And I'd be willing to stuff vomit into my ears if it meant never hearing another Lionel Ritchie or Phil Collins song, speaking of sappy songs.

I'm certainly not going to argue with you about James Taylor's voice or Lionel Ritchie (for the record "All Night Long" is the ONLY Ritchie song I like or can even tolerate). We can at least agree on that much.

Phil Collins always came across to me as being more silly than sappy. Anyway, one of the first albums (the second one, to be exact) I ever owned was Genesis' "We Can't Dance." I think I was like 11 when that came out. I pretty much grew up on Phil/Genesis so I guess it's kind of a sentimental attachment.

I'm not knocking it - Genesis was huge when I was in high school, and I liked the That's All song/video when it came out, before it was played to death and through the grave. But since then, for me, too many of Phil's songs sound like the slowest and most repetitious of Christine McVie's - Only Over You, One More Lonely Night, etc. Phil's One More Night (and other hits) fit right in with this style. Don't get me wrong, I like Chris, and I even like her songs that I listed, but I guess I feel more variety in her music, and I like her voice more, if you follow.

IMO, genesis is a whole different story than just "Phil Collins." Genesis is good.
um...just real quick...

That song & MJ's Billie Jean just missed my list.

I will say that I used to like the Land Of Confusion video when it came out. But I guess you're right, that was Genesis if I remember.

Someday...the blind will see the truth. And "Hollaback Girrrlll" (Ain't No)....

will be recognized as the masterpiece that it is.

Billie Jean is my favorite MJ song (did a tumbling routine to it. BJ rawks!)
But, I agree about Land of Confusion. Still I didn't love the notes chosen, though.

In all seriousness, and I mean no insult, would somebody please explain the whole Gwen Stefani fascination? She's nice looking & half naked (like half the women on the charts these days). She can sing okay from what I've heard (and I know only what I've heard here & there) but her lyrics don't seem too deep. She has some seriously noticeable lips, but otherwise I wouldn't pick her out of a pop lineup. Please tell me why she's seen as so special that she's all over the place all the time. (Again, I'm not asking anybody to defend, just to explain.)

I can honestly say that I never liked any MJ song. Don't like the music, hate his voice & his "hah"-squeaks. His Jackson Five vocals were fine, it's his solo stuff that I never liked, even when he was the hottest thing going. I did like the Leave Me Alone video, but that's really it.
But hey, I'm no tumbler.
