What "Classic" songs do you hate with a passion?

[Bluethemaway]

Shout by Lulu

 

[staffsblue]

Anything by Simply Red.
Toploader: Dancing in the Moonlight.
The Kooks: She Moves in Her Own Way. It's the definitive example of "landfill indie".

I recall another single they released called "Achilles Heal", but hate the sound of the singer's voice with a passion.

Debora by T Rex

 

[JULES]

the boys are back in town...thin lizzy, its so bad its funny

 

[andthesunshineband]

Thanks to everyone who picked Bohemian Rhapsody and Bat Out Of Hell. Not sure if it qualifies as a classic but Walk Of Life by Dire Straits never failed to piss me off. Especially at wedding discos watching the rhythmically challenged trying to wrap their limbs around that opening keyboard dirge.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix.
In fact anything by Hendrix.

 

[blue for life]

the boys are back in town...thin lizzy, its so bad its funny

[JRockBlues]

Nights in White Satin
All Right Now
Black Betty

All played far too much on the radio during my formative years of music listening.

 

[beehive_bob]

American Pie - Don McLean. Aaaaaaaaaargh...

 

[Robanompivenov]

Sweet fucking Carobastardline.

Why has it turned into the sing along anthem at every live event in this country?

Stop singing it!!!!

Just had another couple on the radio that I despise

Thorn in my side - Eurythmics
I don't want to miss a thing - Aerosmith

Absolute shite

Thorn in my Side isn’t a favourite of mine but it reminds me of a friend of one of my sister’s. Her friend‘s name is Helen and she had a brother who was an alcoholic by the time he was in his thirties. She adored him when they were children as he was her only sibling. That is the song Helen says represents the legacy of their relationship due to his problem with drink. It is so sad. I will never forget the description of his flat when Helen went to clear it after he passed away.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Stairway to fucking heaven
Bohemian fucking rhapsody
Sultans of fucking swing

There's loads more but those three take the fucking biscuit.

 

[When The Levee Breaks]

Toto - Africa. Lyrics make zero sense. Melody is shit. Not even sure why it's considered a classic.

 

[Blue Mist]

Shout by Lulu

Yes, yes, and yes a fuckin gain.

As a young lad that was the only version I knew but I knew it was shite. Then I heard the original version, done properly, done with soul, done with passion and funny enough the one thing it didn't do, are you LISTENING Lu fuckin' Lu is SHOUT.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Candle in the wind. Fucking nauseating.

 

[Keeper!]

Hotel California and anything by Abba

 

[Keeper!]

The Beatles are the greatest band ever but I can't stand Can't Buy Me Love.

Yellow Submarine ..........WTF!!!!!!

 

[JULES]
