Songs you hate by bands you like

I will second or third "I Am The Walrus," "Crawling," and "The Trial" being awesome. On the other hand, I agree with Alucard that "Avarice" is one of Disturbed's weaker songs. "Intoxication" is another one by them I don't especially care for.

"By Myself" is probably the only Linkin Park song that usually has me reaching for the skip button, but the remix from Reanimation makes it awesome. On the other hand, the original version of "One Step Closer" is listenable if not great, while the remix makes it even worse.

I normally find the cheesiness of Rhapsody to be delicious over-the-top awesomeness, but dear sweet Odin, "Forest Of Unicorns" is just terrible.

I think I know what you're all trying to say: we need to build a space helicopter!

Hmm... "A Drug Against War" by KMFDM. I've never exactly been able to get into Angst but it's that song, specifically. I love the music video for it though.

Out of sight... out of mind... out of hope, and out of time...

Please tell me you're not serious.

"Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" by The Beatles

---

I liked that song actually. Sure it's pointless, but the melody is nice.

We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.

Ha! "Hello McFly" and "Wake Up Call" are pretty much the only songs I like by Relient K.

Well, those and their songs on the Happy Christmas compilations.

I didn't write any of that.

^ Those two were ok, but I really don't like the "college rock" sound that first album had. ESPECIALLY "Marilyn Manson Ate My Girlfriend". It just didn't fit them. The Christian/Alternative/Rock thing suits them better.

We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.

I just can't stand Julianne from Ben Folds Five.

I'd put some witty quote or hilarious reference here, but I've been treed by a velociraptor. Sorry.

Funny thing about that: I like like Intoxication a lot. Every song on that album, in fact. This is what makes Avarice such an anomaly in their discography. For me and quite possibly the entire Disturbed fanbase - I've yet to meet someone who likes it.

I like "Avarice", I pretty much enjoyed that entire album.

I hate "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana and "Creep" by Radiohead (mostly because I've heard it too many times to not hate it).

What's wrong with it?

I don't hate it, but Particle Man is overrated.

I can't stop listening to this

Creep is one of the most overrated songs I know of.

no one will notice that I changed this

I think "Smells Like Teen Spirit" tops "Creep" in term of overrated. Ironically, both bands seem to (atleast at one time) hate those songs.

Err... I'm not aware of any serious Radiohead fans who actually like "Creep" as much as they like anything off The Bends or OK Computer.

Or maybe that's just me.

Overused, maybe? I think that's the word.

Huh, I really like Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite, it's suprising so many people don't. As for me... Lady Grinning Soul by David Bowie. Not technically a band but you know.

"5-4=Unity" by Pavement kind of bugs me. While Pavement did a lot of subtle genre bending, here it feels like they bend it so far that it broke. It just strikes me as an experiment they should've left in the closet.

• "Keepers of the Garden" and the cover of "The Memory Remains" by The Kovenant. I am a bigger fan of their first two albums, but I was actually okay with most of the songs on their 4th album SETI (a New Sound Album). Except those ones. They're why I won't defend The Kovenant when they're accused of Jumping the Shark.
• "Aerials" and "Lonely Day" by System Of A Down, more because they were overplayed, and because it irritates me how only their slower songs tend to get popular, with the exception of "Chop Suey", though I've heard that one so many millions of times now it's lost all meaning.

Horrible

last.fm

Synthesizeritis on that one for sure.

FX on Volume 4 seems kinda pointless although I'm not sure it really counts as a song.

no one will notice that I changed this

Blind Guardian 's Mr. Sandman cover annoys me.

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. ~ C. S. Lewis

Although I wouldn't exactly say hate, Withered Hope is my least favorite They Might Be Giants song.

You can not go to Utah again after you have eaten Utah and have not eaten.

"Mr. Moonlight" and "Long, Long, Long" are my two least favourite Beatles songs. They're both listenable, just...dull.

"I Shall Be Free," the concluding track on Bob Dylan's otherwise excellent Blowin' in the Wind, has some of the stupidest lyrics I've ever heard (I know the song's meant to be funny; it's just...not), and a barely-existent melody (yes, even if someone with a more conventional voice than Dylan were to sing it).

As if The Soft Parade weren't already the weakest Doors album with Jim Morrison, the song "Runnin' Blue" takes the cake for the most "what the hell were they thinking" song the original lineup ever recorded. A dirge-paced soul tribute to Otis Redding, that becomes an up-tempo bluegrass number in the chorus? What.

Let's see...

Dream Theater - "You Not Me", "Take Away My Pain", and most of the songs on their Train of Thought and Black Clouds and Silver Linings albums
("You Not Me" and "Take Away My Pain" were poppy schlock and the new album indicates that Dream Theater are in danger of jumping the shark)
Iron Maiden - Most of Blaze Bayley's work plus "Quest for Fire"
(Thank God for Bruce and Adrian coming back)
Dio - "Rainbow in the Dark"
(Why is this one of his most well-known songs?)
Toxik - "Pain and Misery"
(Because a horrible Pantera-esque groove number in the middle of an album of otherwise amazing thrash is just what I always wanted.)
Forbidden - "Feel No Pain"
(Absolutely no flow to this song whatsoever.)
Overkill - "Evil Never Dies"
(The main riff barely qualifies as such, and it came after 'The Years of Decay', which is so awesome it should have been the closer)
Rage - "Can't Get Out"
(Peavy sounds like he's trying to rap or something.)

Out of Context Theater: Mike K "'Bloody Pussies' cracked me up"

I love Eminem but got bored of recovery after two listens and am Fucking sick of Fucking stan

and "Breaking the Habit" by linkin park is crap

Proveing 12 year olds are the filthist people around

Despite them being my favourite band of all time, I hate Social Distortion's cover of "Ring of Fire". This is because 1.) it's not very good and 2.) I have a deep-seated hatred of any version of that song. This stems from my time working the Saturday night shift at KFC on the notorious Bigg Market, Newcastle upon Tyne. Every Saturday groups of drunk middle-aged wankers would come in, do the "duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duuuuh-duh-duuuuuuuuuuuh" bit of the song and start being dickheads. It was how you knew the Saturday night shift had started in earnest. So yeah, over three years after I left that horrible job and I still hate the song. With a passion.

And to the bloke above me, I remember when flipping Stan was on the flipping radio all the time and I got flipping sick of it too!
