Gosh I have to pick just one? There are so many horrible songs. Anything by Alanis Morissette makes me switch the radio station. I cant stand her, for some reason her voice is like driving nails into my ears. Anything by the Backstreet Boys or InSync is right up there too. I worked at a place that played them at least twice a day. It was horrible. There are other songs but its late and I cant think of them right now.

OK-here's one: Disco Duck

It should be pointed out, though, that Jimmy Webb is one of the great pop songwriters of all time, if sales are any indication. That, and I have a long-held, even if grudging, respect for him.

We do one of his songs in my band..."The Last Unicorn", originally performed by America for the soundtrack of the animated filim of the same name.

"Chewy, Chewy" by 1910 Fruitgum Company, the flipside of "Green Tambourine"...now *there's* a bad song.

... at the risk of being hit by anyone remotely religious... any hyms!!

Can you back that up any further than saying "they're religious, so they suck"? I'm not a big fan of religion myself, but some of those songs, properly performed, are truly works of art.

You're not going to get away with classifying an entire genre as "suck" here. You can claim all country, rap, R&B, or rock & roll sucks, but that telegraphs ignorance, not good taste.

Edit: Illustrative example: Eric Clapton performing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"

Anything by Gloria Estefan, specifically The Rhythm is Gonna Get You.

okay i can try to redeem myself here by saying, 'any hyms sung in a british local church' as that is all i have experienced, sorry for upseting anyone!

Ew, much better. I agree completely in that case. :)

True =Webb, and it should also be pointed out that because of the afforementioned math class incident the song has attained a dimension that I find priceless so I really enjoy it in a very perverse way. (well not like that) esp the version by the four tops. I think they could sing the phone book and I'd listen to it.

and in shame I drop my head and admit to owning the album with chewy chewy on it. What can I say? I was only seven and a "latch–key kid."

THERE SHOULD BE LAWS!!! :eek:

Ever heard those songs that have no tune at all, played in the whole scale? (C,D,E,F#,G#,A#,C) such as Debussy's Clair de Lune and such?

Dude...Clair de Lune, and most anything else by Mssr. Debussey, is incredible. I have like five different rendtions of just that one piece.

Wolf, tell him...tell him Tomita's version is mind bogglingly great.

Tomita's version is mind bogglingly great.

Oh, and if you value your hearing and sanit, stay WAY FAR AWAY from Schoenberg. (or anything else describing itself as "12-tone row".

Kronos Quartet - loath them! A friend of mine has every CD put out by this modern classical/jazz group and I once had to endure 6 hours in the car with her playing nothing but on her tape deck. AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGG! :greenface

Have you ever heard Kronos' version of "Purple Haze"? It is great!

I will admit that they can get avant gard to the point of noise, though.

achie breaky heart... *vomit* *wipe mouth off and laugh at mullets*
