What songs make you physically ill?

[Knox The Hatter]

What songs do you really hate, ones that make you wanna throw up into your car wastepaper basket when it comes on the radio?

First of all, for me, it's anything by Macy Gray. Her voice sounds kind of like Mary J. Blige after she's accidentally swallowed a lugnut.
There was a single back in the late '80s, "When I'm With You" by Sheriff. The record is so awful that it has to be heard to be believed. Near the end of the song, the guy singing actually sounds like he's trying to be his own Mariah Carey and hit a high note that he can't possibly reach. Either that, or he's doing Tiny Tim.
All of Barry Manilow's recorded work falls into this category for me, but especially "I Write The Songs", which doesn't quite make me sick as it does make me laugh for long periods of time.

Anyone want to add to this?

[ticklishbbw]

Anything in the country music category makes me ill :xlime: , and don't even get me started about Shania Twain...Ugh!!!!! :ranty:

tbbw

[MrMacphisto]

I second country and most rap... Most of what's on pop radio stations these days makes me ill, so I don't even listen to the radio anymore for music. I only listen to NPR occasionally...

[Ticklebell]

J-Lo. street rap (there are maybe 2-3 songs INVOLVING rap that I like, i.e. Erykah Bahdu's "plenty"). Don't hurt me. but
the Outkast song Heya or whatever. there is something about that song that makes me feel spastically angry.

[Mitchell]

There's a song by a guy named Josh Grobin that
s played often on the radio. I cant recall the name of it off hand, but every time I hear it on the radio, I cringe.

[giggleygirl25]

Josh Groban yep definitely....J.Lo (but the again i disliked the media hype surrounding her anyway),Britney is nauseating

[milagros317]

From two different eras, songs that made me ill when they were played on the radio:

"Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car"

and even worse was,

"Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got Love In My Tummy"

[TklDuo-Drew]

"Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton.

This guy was in The Yardbirds, Cream, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Derek and the Dominoes, and Blind Faith.
And comes up with worthless, sugary, dreck as "Wonderful Tonight"?????


and:

"Turn the Page" by Bob Seger and Metallica's version
"Open Arms" and "Faithfully" by Journey
"Crying", "Amazing", "Crazy", "Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith


I'll take "Hey Ya" from Outcast any day over the above confectionary crap.


Drew

[giantfan121262]

Almost any kind of rap. I can yell into a microphone like those guys. What makes me sick is they actually make money doing that crap!

[kis123]

Anything from Norah Jones. She is absolutely horrible and sounds like she's on drugs or something! Maybe she should consider Prozac therapy!

A song called "Always and Forever" and I don't remember the original group, but Luther Vandross did a remake (one of his many remakes) and it sounded almost tolerable. But, that is my least favorite song in the world. It sounds like it was recorded at a funeral! Don't talk to any of my fellow African Americans about this song, they think it's the all-time bomb! So do I, just not the same type of bomb!

As for some of the group's other choices:

Josh Groban, what's wrong with him? He's a great singer!
I happen to like Hey Ya from Outkast!
And who said bad words about Shania?

Raspberries to all of you poopers!:p

But I agree with JLo and almost everything that's going on in pop and rap right now. It's enough to make you hang your head out the car window and puke!

[Krokus]

Anything country makes me seriously ill.

[AphxA]

my brothers daughter keep playing this album from some kid called aron carter or something like that. That album makes me want to bang my head into a wall. I guess they give recording contracts to anyone these days.

[dskodj]

Mostly everything and anything from 1990 - present with the acceptions of a few artists and albums here and there

[Amnesiac]

That motherfuckin' "Evanescence" song who's name I can't remember but was everywhere after Daredevil opened! STOP PLAYING IT!! If the lead singer can actually do that stuff with her voice, what is she doing singing for this shitty NuRock genre instead of becoming the female Maynard James Keenan?

Anything by Nickelback...the band should have a bag of nickels slung upside their collective heads.

That Eve 6 song that starts out like "I would swallow my pride/I would choke on the rinds"...I will beat this entire band down like I was its daddy for making this shit.

and the worst offender of all time...

..."LOCOMOTION"...I...HATE...THIS...MUTHERFUCKING....SONG. I will burn every tape it's on, every record, CD, I will even burn the original fucking recording if I ever get my hands on it. The worst song ever written in history.

[the_Baron]

practically all motown music.

anything by michael jackson - especially the later works.

and justin timberlake, that sleazoid hypocrite.


oh kis - always and forever was performed by Heatwave. that was a biggie at the couples only portion at the roller disco.

[Sadistictickler]

all computerized crap
and especially avril lavigne

[Mimi]

Okay, Knoxxie and Clammy have both officially made my "HMPH!" list. Blah to you both! I love Sheriff (and he hits that note beautifully, thank you very much!), Nickelback is my FAVORITE GROUP, that 'damn song' My Immortal by Evanescence is gorgeous (hell, all their music rocks), and Inside Out by Eve 6 is a lyrical gift from God. *smacks Clammy* Develope some taste! :p :p :p :p

My list...hmmm...I'd agree with that song by Josh Groban, Hey Ya by Outkast (argh), and I don't much care for Norah Jones. Others I would add would be damn near anything by the Dave Matthews Band (I can not tolerate the sound of his voice), that damn "Your Body Is A Wonderland" song, anything grunge rock, anything from the Talking Heads, 80's fluff like Belinda Carlisle and Wilson Phillips, "Ray Of Light" by Madonna, and even though I like 3 Doors Down, if I hear that damn "Here Without You" song one more time I am gonna burn down the radio station. There comes a time when a song gets played TOO DAMN MUCH and it's time to shuffle it back into the friggin pile!

Mimi

[TicklishSinner]

BOY BANDS!!!! god damn if i hear one more thing about how they are back and so toxic with a genie in the bottle i will scream

[natural tickler]

Here's my list:

Anything from any boy bands and Britney Spears
You Light up my Life by Debby Boone
Country music
Norah Jones
Cher

hey kis, Always and Forever will be an all time classic, and don't act like you never started dancing once you heard it:D

Hey Ya was a great song. Anyone can sing it

And if anyone, and The Rock means anyone sings Don't Worry be Happy, I'll cut their head off and mail it to you:sowrong:

btw Smurfie, N'Sync and Backstreet Boys will have albums out later this year, so go out and buy one:D

[kis123]

Isn't she the grungiest looking little thing? She looks like she doesn't bathe daily. And she's too young to make such angry sounding music. Cheer up! You're rich, aren't ya'?;)

[natural tickler]

I forgot one

Achy Breaky heart damn, that was cheesy:D

[the_Baron]

TS -

i would enjoy hearing you scream!


;)

[Ticklebell]

Thank you Mimi! I forgot about that Your Body is a Wonderland song. I haaaaaate that thing. That dude bothers me. He seems very impressed with himself. "Bubblegum tongue"? Eeew.

And Dave Matthews. Being the Ben Folds fan that I am, everyone expects me tolove DMB, but ack! His tone is so weird and whiny, and he NEVER enunciates. I never have a clue what he's singing about.

[crydun]

Anything by Mariah Carey

Anything by Britany Spears(she sounds like a robot)

Any rap

Any Willie Nelson

Any Hank Williams Sr.

Most Heavy Metal

I love Norah Jones!

I'll go with the Shania and J.Lo comments though. I'm sick of both of them.

[Limeoutsider]

Most all of you listed my entire CD collection :wow:

[Sadistictickler]

she's absolutely the fakest piece of crap produced by some manager wantin to make a shitload of money on her

comments like "i sit down with my guitar and write my own songs", while she can't even play guitar and has merely co-written her songs, and well, the neighbour's cat after it's been given a severe beating makes better noise than avril trying to perform live on stage...

complete crap that makes the grunge-scene look like shit

[TklDuo-Drew]

These 3 probably don't qualify, as they're lost 70s one hit wonders, and I don't know their actual titles, but....

"Billy, Don't Be a Hero"
"My Name is Micheal" (I got a Nickel)
"How Do You Do?" (nana,nana,nananananana, and you can sing nana nana)

These belong in the jukebox from hell

Drew

[The Sean Man]

We Are The World. Not only do we copy the british in saving others, but we release the crappiest song ever written. Of course, that's no surprise seeing as it was written by Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson. Even Quincy Jones couldn't polish THAT doo doo.

The Sean Man

[Flatfoot]

I know I'm gonna upset someone when I say this, but I'm pretty much sick of Creed, and any of the other bands that basically mimic that Eddie Vedder voice. I liked "My Sacrifice" when they started to play it on RAW commercials, because it was nice to hear a NEW Creed song, and it seemed to fit the commercials. Then it was overplayed on the radio, like every other Creed song, and now I can't tolerate it.

[TicklishSinner]

you can hear me scream anytime Baron as long as ya make me..LOL...and I agree Creed is annoying!!! but then again i am also tired of Jet their songs are so over played

[JPie1]

any of those constantly played wedding or function songs, ya know the

Electric Slide
Mony Mony

I get sick at Britney Spears, Chritina Aguilera and Mariah Carey...they just make me sick already..

Almost all rap

Alot of 90's music


Bring back the 70's and 80's

[Knox The Hatter]

Got a few more...
before I go into it, I just wanna say that I still hate that song. I love Mimi...but I hate that song, the Sheriff one. I'll never forget the first time I heard it. We were late finishing a beer league game, and my friend and I were sitting in a diner on Route 22 in Scotch Plains. The song came on the jukebox. We didn't know what it was, but pretty soon, my friend and I started beating up the jukebox. I have to admit though, the song that followed it on someone else's quarter really sucked...Donny Osmond's "Soldier of Love". The waitress gave us a "serves you right" look!

One of the most overrated acts out there's Sheryl Crow. Lately, I don't even give her the opportunity to finish...I hit the button on the truck radio.
The fact that John Tesh could have the nerve, the unmitigated gall to record music pretty much says it all.
Boy Bands to me are nothing but formulated dog doo doo, and have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. They are nothing but cash cows for a bunch of baldheaded, ill-mannered men in suits.
Know what I REALLY hate? Songs with digitally sampled bits from songs from thirty years ago. I guess this covers Hip Hop, et al. If you can't come up with your own shit, what good are you?

[Knox The Hatter]

Actually, it's as JPie said about wedding fare. This is part of the reason I hate going to affairs of any kind anymore. I'm sick to death of the Macarena and the friggin' Italian Chicken Dance...

[TklDuo-Drew]

Well....I'm probably gonna get rocks thrown at me for adding my next couple.....

"Mr. Roboto" by Styx. I absolutley cannot STAND this song! I don't know if the stupid video made me hate it or Dennis DeYoung's sissy scream after singing "Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto"!

"157 Riverside Ave" by REO Speedwagon (live version)
Totally annoying! After Kevin Cronin's extended blabbering about talking to his guitarist on the phone, he shares his conversation with us: "ditditditdit, dididditditdidditiditdidditdit, didididididididitdit"
SHUT THE HELL UP, ALREADY!!!

I used to hear these a lot when I worked third shift in the 80s

Drew

[giantfan121262]

I think somebody mentioned Michael Jackson and I agree 1 million percent. The only exception I will make is the Thriller album. There were some pretty decent songs there.

Another song that kills me is the song by Tom Petty "Stop dragging my Heart Around". It sounds like the guy wants to go to sleep. If I blew the title, y all know what I mean.

[kis123]

I don't even want this song played at my funeral, that's how much I hate it! I hated it from the first day I heard it played, and I will hate it into eternity!!!!!!! The only thing classic about it is the level of nausea it creates in the pit of my stomach and the fact anyone would even consider it good music. Luther Vandross tried to clean it up, but I simply just hate the song. It's like nails over a chalkboard! It sounds like it was recorded during a funeral, and people have turned it into some sort of love ballad. None of my babies were made with that song in the background, I guarantee you!

I don't think I left anything out, do you?:rolleyes:

Did you not remember the "Off the Wall" album? That was some of his best work including Thriller. Michael is the king of the video, and the only reason African American videos ever ended getting play on MTV.

But you're right! Not much more since the 80s that was worth mentioning.

Knox, I want you to take your time and tell us all what you really think. And don't hold anything back!!!!!:D

Yeah, I guess when you look up opinionated in Webster's, my pictures' right next to it. With a cigar in my face. Seated next to Steve Areacttooemotionally.

That was the album I was referring to. If I got the name wrong, sorry for the confusion.

[areenactor]

he was asked what would make him scream in pain... he answered "rap music".
gotta go with bruce. rap makes me scream in pain, and get sick!

steve
p.s. i liked yummy yummy!

Yeah, I knew Michael did a great job on that one when my mother bought it and played it constantly for over a week!:D As much as it got on my nerves then, I sure wish she was still here to play it now. Maybe it's why I liked the album as much as I did.:cool:

[Limeoutsider]

Spears and Spice Girls

[AphxA]

oh god yes, anything that miss britney throws our way. Its not even music. I would use her cd's as paper weights or a nice coffee mug place mat.:D

[Double T]

"Sweet Dreams" by the Eurhythmics! I cannot tolerate that boring, monotonal song! Arrrrrggggghhhh!

Most rap, hip-hop. What the devil are they saying? One exception. Will Smith, because I can understand his lyrics, and it not about "Bustin' a cap in some mofo's @$$"

Acid rock, new wave, techno, and most disco.

"Honey" by that guy, what was his name?

Practically anything by the Osmonds.

"The Lonesome Loser (beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time)". Used to play that at a job I had, every half hour!

"Oooooh, child" Back! Back, I say!

And probably a dozen once decent songs (but none of the above) that were just overplayd by some radio stations. Ahhh, to be lost in the Sixties tonight!


(My 500th post was a rant! Not too shabby!)

Just for the record, yes Amy Lee CAN do that with her voice live, on stage, after moshing around for an hour plus. Been there, seen it, so impressed I'm going back in about a month (and plan to be down the front if I can barge through the crowd. Now if she'd only go front for Queen I'd be a very happy man (hey I have odd musical tastes, 'kay?)

As for music to puke to I think the following covers it:

Boy Bands
Girl Bands
Boy and Girl Bands
Girl Bands with a couple of Boys that look like Girls
Anyone that ever competed in a TV 'Talent' Show to get their recording deal.

[Ghost2004]

Amy Lee has an incredible range and soemthing in sher vocie reaches inside to twist @ your very soul.


I';d give my vote to ANY Britney Spears song! :rolleyes:
as well as N sync
Appologies to those who like that type of music, but to me it's jut over sexualized yet juvinile whining

Thostie

[tklgal226]

I would normally say anything that Brittney Spears sings...but that would be a lie because she CANT SING!!!!!

(for those of u who are questioning it, yes, i stole that from Lewis Black ;))

~clair :D

Both Evanescence songs make me physically ill. I guarantee I could find at least five voice majors at my school that have the same vocal range and talent of Amy Lee. She's an "above average" singer, but certainly not outstanding. Go to an opera sometime if you really want to be impressed by a mezzo soprano.

We're all entitled to our opinions, but I think Christina is an awesome singer with a beautiful voice. Many of the songs she sings encourage female self-confidence and empowerment. The rest of them I think were written for the pop music machine. I don't think she should be wasting that voice as a pop singer. I've seen her do smaller venues and give real performances that actually require talent. Too bad she gave way to the dollars. There's nothing wrong with getting paid, but one day she may wake up and find out she sold herself and her talent out.

The first Evanescence song was unique in the beginning, but was way too overplayed. That's the main reason why those that hate it feel so strongly. The second song does nothing for me at all. I hope she doesn't end up a one-hit-wonder. Maybe she should go front for Queen since she likes rock.

[Knox The Hatter]

Here's someone! Now, be honest with me...is there anything more ridiculous than a sixty something year old Tom Jones doing club music?

[kis123]

I'm sorry Knox, but I think Tom Jones has only gotten better with age. I was practically raised on his music as a young kid. When he made his comeback, I thought he was crazy at first. But no one said anything to Tina Turner (over sixty),Cher (real close to sixty) or Wayne Newton (world's oldest lounge lizard). In fact, no one's saying anything to Aretha Franklin either when she can barely breathe and her chest is hanging out over her clothes. Tom is hanging in there with the rest of them. As long as there is a market for retro performances, he'll have a job!;)

[TklDuo-Drew]

No more ridiculous than the 60-something Rolling Stones coming out to sing "I can't get no satisfaction". More like: "I can't get no medication". Same with the upcoming Van Halen tour, I don't know if I want to see a 57 year old Sammy Hagar singing VH's 80s hits.

I'm sorry. Van Halen w/o David Lee Roth is not Van Halen. You can call me a purist at heart but he is the image of that group.

I forgot about these examples! Thanks Drew!

Giantfan, I agree with the David Lee Roth v. Sammy Hagar. Sammy just never got it for me.

[maniactickler]

one of the worst songs of all time....."dont worry, be happy" i hate it!!!
