The 20 Most Annoying Songs according to Rolling Stone

[TheVrolok]

While some of those songs are very annoying, I could give 20 songs that came out in just the last 2 years that I find equally as annoying as most, and more annoying than some on that list.

Rolling Stone has a very short memory.

OUCH!

I haven't thought of Patches in a long time. I HATE HATE HATE you for reminding me.

Yup, that one was annoying from the very first time I heard it.

Now, how to get it out of my head?

They got crappier with every new iteration. Jefferson Airplane was pretty decent. Jefferson Starship sucked. They managed to out do themselves with Starship, and proved that they really could suck more.

The first Jefferson Starship album was brilliant; Blows Against the Empire is an absolute classic. I have to agree on the '80s iteration of Starship, though. Bloated pretentious Pop Music dreck.

journey - don't stop believing
bon jovi - living on a prayer

because they are decent songs?

I'll give you some slack on Bongiovi, but I maintain that Steve Perry has the most annoying voice in "Classic Rock".

When I was in college, some friends and I went to this party. We got drunk and ended up crashing at the apartment. I got so drunk, I passed out on the floor in a bedroom. I woke up in the middle of the night, still drunk, and sat up on the floor....I glanced over the room and saw my friend having sex with some girl.

I sat there and looked at them for a few seconds. Keep in mind that I was still drunk. Now I'm not sure why I did this, or where it came from, but as they were going at it (not knowing I was awake and staring at them) I started shouting "WHO LET THE DOGS OUT, WHO WHO WHO!!!". They both screamed and I left the room.

It was really bizarre.

dude, this is the best thing you have ever posted

:thumbsup:

No Journey? That list is bogus.

1. Stay on your phone and keep driving really, really fast and your whole problem will resolve itself with your fiery one-car crash.

2. With all due respect to weird, weird dennil, how can Celine Dion be on there only once?

3. And finally, one kickass song named Closing Time. :thumbsup:

Ah we're drinking and we're dancing
and the band is really happening
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
And my very sweet companion
she's the Angel of Compassion
she's rubbing half the world against her thigh
And every drinker every dancer
lifts a happy face to thank her
the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
all the women tear their blouses off
and the men they dance on the polka-dots
and it's partner found, it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
it's CLOSING TIME

The smell of wine and cheap perfume...

I had to look it up, but I remembered it as soon as it started playing. Here you go, just in case you forgot some of it too :^P

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems
Better put them in quotations

Say what you need to say (8x)

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you?d be better off instead
If you could only

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You better know that in the end
It?s better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to
Say what you need to

Chumbawumba - Tub Thumper
Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Semisonic - Closing Time

Overplayed, perhaps. But that's just me.

That's one I have and think it's a great song. Kind of a different view of a cultural icon.

I agree, it's a great song. I'm also a big fan of "Swimming in Your Ocean" and "Afternoons And Coffeespoons".

Fixed.

Mayer is a great guitar player, and terrible songwriter.

No. It's a cash-in on sentimentality. It's not honest. It's pseudo-sentimentalism.

 

[alkemyst]

sort of odd how many of those songs are the ones people get up to dance too.

Of course I had to click the link. What is up with the random pictures?? A double tornado? That song is wide open for some much better (funnier) illustrations.

That 99 luft fucking balloons song should definitely crack that list...in fact, it should be #1.

I HATE that song. All my friends sang it nearly non-stop a few years back. I kinda like the lyrics, but the song itself really isn't that good.


And Mambo No. 5 is an awesome song.

The Goldfinger version of 99 luft balloons is 1000x better than the original - one of the few remakes of a crappy song that made it awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8R9PQsPpvA = awesome
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...DnEPR4&feature=related = annoying

That one is awesome. Another song that got better as a remake is Video Killed the Radio Star by Presidents of the USA.

Jeebus, Nik, you're just pathetically proud of your pinhead ignorance, aren't you?

It's from the same guy who also wrote and performed this song, stupe; he's only one of the most celebrated and deeply talented songwriters of our time.

Too bad he's over your head, son. :roll:

Ignore this post. Posting again is the only way I can advance the page on my stupid iPhone (can't "click" the page numbers/buttons).

Dammit. The quick-reply "reply" button opens a blank reply form. :| At least the iPhone has copy/paste now...

DAMMIT! Which only results in a double-post and me STILL staring at a blank submission form. WTF, Apple? Well, Now I'm at home back on a proper PC cleaning up this mess. I never got to see page two on my POS phone.
