The song's horribleness is only exceeded by the maenads there who actually know the lyrics and proudly display their knowledge. I'm all for animal rights under most circumstances, but here I'd just say you have to put them all down for the good of the species.

By visiting public spaces you put yourself in the position of having to endure horrible music.  ...That is, if you have good taste in music.  I guess the multitudes either don't mind it or they actually like it, God help their poor souls.  I've learned to block it out for the most part, but once in a while it gets in.  These next examples are songs I've heard recently that made me want to inflict physical damage on my immediate surroundings, including my own person.  I feel like I'm going against some fundamental law of human nature by even posting this stuff on here. 

I've been unfortunate enough to encounter these two songs TWICE in one week!!

This is apparently a really hot fucking number at the moment.  The retro '50s rock and roll treatment really bugs me, in much the same way "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Crocodile Rock" really get under my skin.

This next song may be some of the worst garbage I've ever heard.  The lyrics are abhorrent.  I can't fucking take it!!
Hot Chelle Rae - Tonight Tonight

Journey - Who's Crying Now

... the answer is: me, whenever I hear that thing .........

f*ing Journey

It was 25 years ago today that Sit Down by James was recorded (or released - I can't remember even though I only saw it a few seconds ago). One of the most annoying tunes ever recorded, and completely ubiquitous in the late 80s and early 90s. Plus loads of people - or rather loads of students - used to wear horrendous James t shirts. I still feel ill thinking about it. The depths that humanity sinks to.

I didn't realise you had to suffer that crap over in the US as well. At least Robbie Williams has never made it big over there - over here for many years loads of people, even including hot women, thought he was great. Of course his music is complete and utter shite - and that is the possibly the biggest understatement of all time. In fact I'd rather listen to Sit Down twice than Angels or any other Robbie Williams track.

(Fortunately I've been able to avoid either for some time.)

Genesis

/\  Patrick, haha No New York ... they couldn't give that record away ..... did you have to pay more than 50¢ for it?  I'm sorry you had to hear it .......

I felt the same way rereading "On the Road" as I did rehearing "No New York."

I'm glad to have it in the collection, though. A good record collection should have some super-weird items.

Madonna's Give Me All Your Luvin' is the definition of vacuous

Regarding songs I hate:

My dear brother has been posting his phone-camera vids from the Bruuuuce concert he went to last week in Denver. He loves the boss. I watch the videos because they're like watching the proverbial train wreck.

Now I have to say I don't begrudge anybody's taste in anything. There is no accounting, right? Glass houses and all that. But this guy just continues to creep me out. And the audience--good grief. As white as white can get. A bunch of post-frat balding dudes and post-sorority white babes. And weirdly it seems all through the show the house lights never dimmed. Maybe they keep the lights on to keep all the fogey fans awake?
