inexplicably popular songs you can't fucking stand

[Gawdzilla Sama]

The first time I heard "Sounds of Silence" it was being blasted a full volume so we could hear it between flare-ups of gunfire. I still have an attitude about that song.

That sounds like something straight out of a Hollywood 'Nam blockbuster.

Hollywood is never, ever original.

Anything by Kylie Minogue or her equally awful sister.

[Cormac]

Anything that Stock, Aiken, Waterman, Cowell, or Walsh vomited up.

[Cormac]

Anything that Vanilla Ice did, but particularly his obscene mangling of a Queen classic.

(Rum, you are so off base about Queen. One of the greatest bands ever, with far more musical sophistication than some ungrateful wretches have recognised here).

Anything by Kylie Minogue or her equally awful sister.

Or, as she is obliquely referred to in my family :"The Diminutive Antipodean Chanteuse".

Anything that Stock, Aiken, Waterman, Cowell, or Walsh vomited up.

Thankfully, I completely control my radio and TV consumption.

I offer as evidence in support:

[tattuchu]

"Jack and Diane" by John Cougar Mellencamp

"Pinball Wizard" by The Who

"Come Together" by The Beatles

"Sympathy For The Devil" by The Rolling Stones

[JimC]

Still liking most of them, even Kylie...

Perhaps I'm a kind of anti-Audley...

I owe you another Coca-Cola KLR!

Your the Yang to his Ying.

... but until then, I'll just open one of the dozen or so cans in the fridge about two feet away.

Dammit KLR!

If you don't behave, it'll be a can of that awful shite Irn Bru or the worse Dr Pepper for you.

(Heh heh heh).

[klr]

I once drank some Dr. Pepper. It was interesting, in a hmm-do-I-really-like-cherry sort of way. As for Irn Bru

Back on topic: As time goes by I hate more and more of the shite from the 80's that I used to like. The 70's music seems more resilient though.

80s stuff like?

70s stuff like?

[Audley Strange]

Okay I am particularly fond of Queen and especially their first five albums. (Though the Prophet's Song on Night at the Opera is a terrible slog.) "You're my Best Friend" is a magnificent pop song.
