I was reading another blog and someone listed the songs that in his opinion were torture. Some I would definitely agree with. For example, anything from Brittney Spears or Meatloaf would be torture. For some reason there are people in this World who like that crap. I cannot even begin to imagine being locked up in a room with nothing but Brittney Spears and Meatloaf running constantly, day after day, with no way to turn it off!! That would be my worst nightmare come true!!! Well, this person listed his top 10 list of worst songs in history. I'm pretty much a music lover, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to music. I can listen to anything from almost any band (though I've proven more than once that INXS tops the list as my favorite band), so for me to say a song is like a needle sticking in my ears, that's pretty darned bad! I cannot promise there will be a full list of 10 songs, but some of the worst songs I've ever heard are (in no particular order):
Elmo's Song - from Sesame Street's little red fiend, Elmo. OK, this guy listed a couple of kiddie songs, the Sesame Street Theme Song and Barney's "I Love You". At first I thought he was jerking everyone around and trying to fill up space in the most desperate way by listing songs for children, which it would not really be fair for an adult to rate. While I agree Barney's song is indeed worthy of the title of being one of the worst, I believe Elmo's Song is even more annoying! Not only is Elmo ugly, stupid and annoying in every conceivable way, his song is everything he is and more!! Making it one of the worst and stupidest songs I've ever heard.
I Ran - by Flock of Seagulls. The song really SUCKS!!! It has no rhythm, not much of a melody, and the idiots who croak out the words can't even sing for shit!!! This is one song you will NEVER hear from my ipod!!
She Blinded Me With Science - by Thomas Dolby. I've been blinded by science before, but Dolby was a jerk to come out with this song!! Like a lot of songs from the 1982-83 era, it's simply cheesy!! Too stupid to exist! Thank GOD those years are long over with!
Hungry Like the Wolf - by Duran Duran. I have often admitted to not liking Duran in the 1980s and took pains to avoid hearing them. IMO, a lot of their songs from the 80s were stupid, but this one tops them all off! When I hear this song on the radio, I remember why I didn't like this group in the 80s and turn it off to listen to some of their 90s stuff, which is 1000 million times better than this crap of a song!!
I Don't Want to Fall In Love - by Jane Child. Among the ultimate in stupidity of songs. When I first heard this parrot squawking on the radio, I wanted to punch her in the face and turn off the music. This song has about as much personality as a test pattern on television. It SUCKS!!!
Tempted - by Squeeze. Just the first couple of bars from this song makes me want to do nothing but turn it off! It reminds me a lot of what Metalraptor says about most peoples' blogs, the kind of blogs that say "I got up this morning, pulled the covers from over my head, marched to the bathroom, took a dump...etc" you get the picture. This song was a lousy way to start off the 80s, and no doubt led to the endless line of cheesy music that followed in the earliest years of the decade.
This is not even the last of it. I also hate specific groups (bands), and these groups I would never even give a listen to no matter how popular they are with other people:
Oasis - The first on my list of crap bands! Their songs are too dark and creepy. Besides the fact that these morons bad-mouthed INXS, even after Michael was so nice and kind to them and even handed them their aria award.
Brittney Spears - This bitch I just want to knock out with a good, swift arm-bludgeon to the head! She annoys me every time she opens the crack in her face!!! The same crack she probably stole from her ass. As many plastic surgeries as she's had, I wouldn't doubt it!
Meatloaf - As I said at the beginning of this blog, Meatloaf SUCKS!!! Anyone who puts anything Meatloaf on their list of worst songs, I can say for sure it is very well deserved! The man can't carry a tune without his damn voice cracking. Makes his music sound more like a cross between R&B and country, with far too much emphasis on the country side.
The Doors - I remember back in the early days of INXS forums, people shunned me because I hated the Doors! I guess they thought the only way to get me to like the Doors was to shit-talk me as a person. Too bad it didn't work! I still hate the Doors!!! Their music is like that of Oasis. Too dark and creepy for me.
Then, there is the genre thing. These are types of music where I don't like most of the bands or most of the songs. Again, I don't care how popular they are with most people, I still can't stand this shit:
Anything rap - I hate rap music with a burning passion!!! Especially when they started ripping off the classics, like that one song that mimicks the Bee Gees's "Staying Alive".
Anything R&B - I like the old-style R&B. My sis Anna listens to this crap today, but it is too slow and too wimpy for me to boogie to.
Most country songs - Though there are some that sound OK, most country music is too whiny and wimpy for me. Like Meatloaf's music! But for some of the faster country songs with less whining, that sound more like rock n roll (and there are some of those), they're OK.
Well, those are the worst things in music, keep in mind, it's only my own opinion. There are undoubtedly others who would disagree with me, and probably have their own list of worst songs in history.
***********EDIT TO ADD*************
2 more worsts in music, IMO:
Alannis Morrisette - I hate this woman! Normally, I don't take to female singers at all. I'm not saying women cannot be good singers, I just don't normally take to them as well as I do to male singers. But this woman does not even sing! She screeches! I can't stand her! Her "singing" is like a needle in my ear!!
Sinead O'Connor - I cannot even believe I forgot this woman! How could I? She was horrible!! I don't even know why her song became so popular. She whines too much!

My response: If you were a three year old, maybe these views would be different. Although these kids shows are a bit too much. My sis' kids grew up on Elmo and Barney.
I Ran - by Flock of Seagulls. The song really SUCKS!!! It has no rhythm, not much of a melody, and the idiots who croak out the words can't even sing for shit!!! This is one song you will NEVER hear from my ipod!!
my response: I cant really say too much about this song because there was a time that I actually listened to this song. Fortunately, the period was brief and I never heard it again. That was when I was young and I was commenting on the bands' hairdos.
She Blinded Me With Science - by Thomas Dolby. I've been blinded by science before, but Dolby was a jerk to come out with this song!! Like a lot of songs from the 1982-83 era, it's simply cheesy!! Too stupid to exist! Thank GOD those years are long over with!
my response: Now here is one song that I NEVER liked. I used to hear it all the time on the radio and it always made me throw up. I cant say too much about the era though. I have even found myself bringing back songs that I knew then just to fill up CD space. Do I listen to it? sometimes.
Hungry Like the Wolf - by Duran Duran. I have often admitted to not liking Duran in the 1980s and took pains to avoid hearing them. IMO, a lot of their songs from the 80s were stupid, but this one tops them all off! When I hear this song on the radio, I remember why I didn't like this group in the 80s and turn it off to listen to some of their 90s stuff, which is 1000 million times better than this crap of a song!!
my response: I can say that Duran Duran really stank in their early days. Most of my friends at school listened to them all the time, but i didnt at that time. They actually got a little better in the late 80s and I was actually buying their albums. Their 90s stuff was much better.
I heard Duran Duran recently just last year. I only heard their song just a few times on the radio. It sounds like a combination of the 80s and 90s all rolled into one.
I Don't Want to Fall In Love - by Jane Child. Among the ultimate in stupidity of songs. When I first heard this parrot squawking on the radio, I wanted to punch her in the face and turn off the music. This song has about as much personality as a test pattern on television. It SUCKS!!!
my response: I am suprised you even remember this song or even who sings it. For years I have forgotten the name of this person and nobody even knows it anymore....I emphasize the word nobody. It very RARELY comes on the radio. I will admit it was popular once and I used to listen to it at that time. But the popularity of this song didnt last and I never heard anything from this person again. Now its one of those lost and forgotten songs.
Tempted - by Squeeze. Just the first couple of bars from this song makes me want to do nothing but turn it off! It reminds me a lot of what Metalraptor says about most peoples' blogs, the kind of blogs that say "I got up this morning, pulled the covers from over my head, marched to the bathroom, took a dump...etc" you get the picture. This song was a lousy way to start off the 80s, and no doubt led to the endless line of cheesy music that followed in the earliest years of the decade.
my response: I have to be honest, I never actually heard this song, so how will I know whether I like it or not? I only heard a small portion of it during a Denny's commercial (or was it I-HOP). I dont know how you knew it and I was the one who listened to the radio all through the 80s. This must be one of those one hit wonder bands that came out once and was never heard from again. I can say that.
This is not even the last of it. I also hate specific groups (bands), and these groups I would never even give a listen to no matter how popular they are with other people:
Oasis - The first on my list of crap bands! Their songs are too dark and creepy. Besides the fact that these morons bad-mouthed INXS, even after Michael was so nice and kind to them and even handed them their aria award.
my response: I heard a lot of bad things about this group, especially from a friend of mine who attended one of their concerts and went backstage to meet them. These dumbasses have such bad attitudes and their always fighting. I dont think anyone listens to them anymore.
Brittney Spears - This bitch I just want to knock out with a good, swift arm-bludgeon to the head! She annoys me every time she opens the crack in her face!!! The same crack she probably stole from her ass. As many plastic surgeries as she's had, I wouldn't doubt it!
my response: OH BOY!!!!!!!! The things I can tell you abou this shitface. I can tell you the number of people that want to beat the crap out of her. She has no talent, no brains, and the fact that she hasnt got the sense that God gave the human butt. The bitch gets into sooooooo much trouble, shaves her head, gets sent into an asylum, and has the nerve to make a comeback. I hope that by the time she gets to be my age, she will actually "grow up."
Meatloaf - As I said at the beginning of this blog, Meatloaf SUCKS!!! Anyone who puts anything Meatloaf on their list of worst songs, I can say for sure it is very well deserved! The man can't carry a tune without his damn voice cracking. Makes his music sound more like a cross between R&B and country, with far too much emphasis on the country side.
my response: I saw this guy on the Rocky Horror Picture Show. He certainly cannot sing I can say that. When he shows up in the movie, I turn on the mute. He comes in on a motorcycle, sings a song, acts out a few parts, and gets shot. In my opinion, he would make a better actor than a singer.
The Doors - I remember back in the early days of INXS forums, people shunned me because I hated the Doors! I guess they thought the only way to get me to like the Doors was to shit-talk me as a person. Too bad it didn't work! I still hate the Doors!!! Their music is like that of Oasis. Too dark and creepy for me.
my response: I am suprised on how many people STILL listen to them. This group will never make another album, their extinct just like Nirvana. The only difference is that I will listen to Nirvana, but I will not listen to the Doors. I heard their stuff, and they really suck.
Then, there is the genre thing. These are types of music where I don't like most of the bands or most of the songs. Again, I don't care how popular they are with most people, I still can't stand this shit:
Anything rap - I hate rap music with a burning passion!!! Especially when they started ripping off the classics, like that one song that mimicks the Bee Gees's "Staying Alive".
my response: I still listen to rap, but I will never forget the old school rap of my time. I still love old school rap. As for todays rap, well....I have gotten to the point where I am use to it and there are some rap songs that are my favorites. But now that I am older, I choose them more carefully. I dont listen to rap songs that talk about killing police and being proud of it. I mean I know that police can get on your nerves when they give you a ticket for no reason, but I never want to kill them. I am too old for that gangster shit.
Although I think that was more of a theme for rap music in the 90s when they invented gangster rap, and I will not listen to gangster rap.
Anything R&B - I like the old-style R&B. My sis Anna listens to this crap today, but it is too slow and too wimpy for me to boogie to.
my response: I have been listening to R&B since before the disco era, so its kind of something that will never go away. I still like old style too, I can even go as far back as to the Motown days. I gotten use to todays music just by thinking of other ways to boogie to it. It depends on the person. but i have been doing it all my life.
Most country songs - Though there are some that sound OK, most country music is too whiny and wimpy for me. Like Meatloaf's music! But for some of the faster country songs with less whining, that sound more like rock n roll (and there are some of those), they're OK.
My response: I never like country music anyway. I cant stand people wining, and every time I have a job, somebody somewhere is always playing country music, YUCK!!!! I can tolerate country rock, but unfortunately I have no favorites.
Another singer I forgot to add, Sinead O'connor. That woman is nothing less than depressing. She's so annoying, she's always crying in her videos.
Alannis Morrisette - I hate this woman! Normally, I don't take to female singers at all. I'm not saying women cannot be good singers, I just don't normally take to them as well as I do to male singers. But this woman does not even sing! She screeches! I can't stand her! Her "singing" is like a needle in my ear!!
my response: Go on and on and on. I never could stand this bitch's singing in the first place. She is worse than Britney Spears and Elmo put together. Her songs totally sucked and I always wondered how is it that anyone could stand listening to this screaching bitch. A few years ago, she had the nerve to come back. Believe me, if I met her in person, I would say to her face that she sucked. I am suprised she still has fans.
Sinead O'Connor - I cannot even believe I forgot this woman! How could I? She was horrible!! I don't even know why her song became so popular. She whines too much!
my response: I think everybody forgot Sinead O'Conner. She obviously doesnt have any more fans left. She lost her respect years ago when she slapped the Pope on a late night show once. Millions of people saw that. You are right about her music being too depressing. I dont want to hear music like that unless I feel I got nothing to live for. And the fact that the woman has no hair....Yuck!!!
Another person I would like to add is Eminem. Not only is he buttface ugly (he is so pale looking and has those enormous bugged out eyes),but his voice sounds like a toilet flushing. Plus the dude is a real troublemaker. I would go on to say that about all the rap stars of today, but Eminem is the tops on that. There is a reason why white people should not do rap music: Does the name Vanilla Ice ring a bell?
Yup, Eminem SUCKS!! But that goes for me without saying, as I've already mentioned I hate rap!
I finally got to hear that song by Squeeze that you mentioned on here the other day, and you are right, its really bad. It sounds like this dude is reading his diary and turned it into a song, and then in the middle of the song, some other guy comes on with a very low voice and you cant make out what he's saying. He sounds like Elvis. Plus the lyrics dont make sense. I coulndnt make out what they were singing about. Do you have any idea as to when this song came out? It barely sounds like an 80s song. I think the way it sounds, I would guess it sounds like those 90s alternative songs. Thats another reason why this song stinks, its too far ahead of its time.
But then I never could stand the songs they play on that "Reality Bites" soundtrack. One in particular that came from that movie whose name I cant remember at this time, I never really cared for it at all. And I use to hear it all the time on the radio back in the 90s.
Anna, Tempted came out in 1981. It's got to be the worst song there ever was back then.
