Tracks that make you cringe and/or change the station
« on: March 07, 2013, 05:16:08 AM »
Hey, folks, are there any songs that whenever you hear the opening notes and/or stumble across them while changing a station on the radio, that you just grind your teeth and growl and just reach for the scan/seek button? (In short what tracks do you dislike that badly?) I'll start mine:

1. "My Heart will go on" by Celine Dion (I like Celine, but the song is/was overplayed, and I didn't like the Titanic movie anyway)
2. "Fly like a bird" by Mariah Carey (that was the song that was playing on the radio when I received the news of my dad's passing, and given I didn't care for it even before that, that song became a painful reminder)
3. "Barbie Girl" by Aqua....Just irritating.....sounds like a bunch of little girls and has some suggestive lines that some may deem offensive.

I'll add more if this thread gets some more responses.....Thoughts?

Anything from Train.  Can't put my finger on it but their songs make me think of people who don't shower regularly.

Rap....you can't say/write "crap" without rap.


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

Wow, another Nicki Minaj non-fan ;D.....I'll admit that her music leaves a lot to be desired, and she reminds me of Janice the Muppet, but anyone who has the guts to try to put that diva Mariah Carey in her place earns a few brownie points with me IMO.

Anything by Taylor Swift.

I'm sure Kanye West would agree  ;D ;D (the guy who messed up Taylor's Music Awards Speech)
To add to my list: Any song with Lil Wayne in it whether he's the featured artist or not @c3

Anything by Elton John, the Dixie Chicks, or Bruce Springsteen.

I do NOT like celebrities who try to use their celebrity to influence voters. Notice anything in common about all three that I mentioned??

Anything by Whitney Houston, Rihanna and Mary J Blige. Had to listen to them over and over (the same 12 damn songs too) at work for a month straight on account of my boss being too lazy to update his playlist, until we all threatened to walk out and lock him in.
Plasticy, overproduced R'n'b in general is a dealbreaker for me.

The way you feel about Lil Wayne is probably how I feel about Nicki Minaj.

Every Rihanna song sounds the same anyway
