Music is meant to elicit emotion from its listeners. Laughter, crying, happiness, sadness, thinking, mindlessness...it seems there's something to fit every emotion. However, on rare occasions, there is a song that comes along that is so horrible, it nearly causes your brain to malfunction when you hear it. It's the one that makes you change the station, or the one that you delete from your library because you can't believe how it got there in the first place....what are the songs you just can't stand?
My bottom 5:
5. "We Built This City"-Starship. It's not so much that I hate the song, as it's pretty good to make fun of and laugh at, but I have to acknowledge just how bad a song it is with this pick. Absolutely no redeeming quality in this song, and it loses me every time at the traffic report.
4. "D'yer Maker"-Led Zeppelin. My favorite band, so you know the song must be pretty annoying. This is simply a disgrace to the name of a great band like Led Zep. Once Plant breaks into "Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you don't have to go...", nothing can save this from utter atrociousness...*shudders*
3. "Lovefool"-The Cardigans. This one goes back to the days of my youth, when it was a very popular song about the time I entered high school (grades 7-12 around here). It got well more radio play than it ever deserved, and to this day, when it comes on drives me nuts. The voice is completely bothersome and the music is just as bad.
2. "Blue (Da Ba De)"-Eiffel 65. A song that was OK the first couple times you heard it, and then just wore out its welcome fast. Repetitive and dull, with nothing going for it but catchiness. Thankfully I've personally heard nothing else from Eiffel 65 since, because I can't hear that name without thinking of this awful song.
1. "The Final Countdown"-Europe. I have to admit that I've only listened to the entirety of this song once, but it was enough for me. The synthesized, poppy sound leading up to the dramatic "it's the final countdown!!" is enough to make me
