Technically, "LoveGame" without the space.

I actually have never met a single person who likes that song.

I hate, hate, hate HATE "Time" by The Alan Parsons Project.

I hate the melody, I hate the beat, I hate the singing, I hate the lyrics, I hate the fact that it's a stain mark on what would be my favourite APP album if it wasn't for it's existance and I hate the fact that some people consider it one of the best tracks on the Album.

HATE, HATE, HATE!

I love the Beatles. But I absolutely HATE "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and especially "Yellow Submarine".

I strongly dislike the "silly", childish kind of psychedelic music in general. Add to that that these songs - again, especially "Yellow Submarine" - have become incredibly chewed-out clichés and are enjoyed by all the wrong people for all the wrong reasons... Argh! Listening to these two songs is torture!

Heh, I don't dislike those songs, but my friend and I have an in-joke about certain people who call themselves Beatles fans and then proceed to say how much they like "Yellow Submarine".

Personally, I don't understand how someone can know of The Beatles but only have heard "Yellow Submarine" before. If anything, I'd think that the big song that non-fans would know is "I Want to Hold Your Hand" or "She Loves You", with maybe "All You Need is Love" and (being generous) "Come Together".

I've never understood people's hatred of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", though. Sure, it's a bit silly, but we don't toss out the Jackson 5's hits or countless 50s and 60s pop that is now considered classic.

I don't like Let It Be by the Beatles. I'm not much of a McCartney fan in the first place, and that song is him at his most self-indulgent.

I also hate You and I by Lady Gaga.

Destroy Everything You Touch by Ladytron, too.

That song. I will never understand why they cut out the "All I want is—" from the beginning and end of that song in the album. I love it, but the album version, I just can't stand that they did that to it. Even the Let it Be...Naked version cuts that out of there. For no real reason at all.

''Encore'' and ''Relapse'' are both terrible albums, in my opinion.

I like Eminem, but this is how he goes for me:

  • Slim Shady LP - Amazing.
  • Marshall Mathers LP - Amazing.
  • The Eminem Show - Solid album, but not my favorite. It has a problem with filler.
  • Encore - Terrible shit.
  • Relapse - Even worse terrible shit.
  • Recovery - The cheesiest, safest, "inspiring" terrible shit ever.

Believe it or not, I don't think I've heard any Beatles song in full except "Love Me Do" in a dentist's office once, and a humorous You Tube vid that had "Help!" set to a bunch of Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket footage from commercials. I've heard bits and pieces of others, plus the occasional cover, but that's it.

Bleh, never liked Eminem in the first place. And that's all I'll say.

"November Has Come" From Gorillaz's Demon Days. Imagine, if you will, the album being mixed with a genre roulette machine, smooshing together a whole bunch of musical styles. I imagine this song to be the result of this machine breaking halfway through the process. The whole thing is dragged down by painful rhymes, and it's simply too slow.

Aw, I like "November Has Come". Then again, I kind of like MF Doom, the featured rapper, and those "painful rhymes" are basically his whole schtick.

Jimmy Jazz by The Clash is just… bland. It gets a bit of momentum, but never really gets off anything exciting. The instrumentation is decent at best and jarring at worst.

Oh, and agreeing on Disco Stick. It's got a decent bridge, but that's about it. It's just annoying.

[up] I'm actually quite fond of that song, mostly because of the melody.

Speaking of melodies, Hunter Hayes is extremely talented (he's 21 and played literally EVERY instrument on his album — he's been entering major contests since he was 4). However, "Wanted" has a very, very, VERY boring melody that just saps all the energy out of it. It's got good lyrics, but it's just so painfully dull to listen to with its monotonous piano riff and insultingly simple melody.

I like Rival Sons, They're a great blues rock band. But their song "White Noise" is rather weak. The melody is lacking, and the lyrics are rather Anvilicious.

I'm like the only person who can stand LoveGame/Disco Stick.

Let's have some fun/this beat is sick/I wanna take a ride on your disco stick/don't think too much/just bust that dick/I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.

Mainly for that line. The rest of the song is pretty average.

That refrain is the very reason most people tend to hate it. Myself included. I can't tell if it screams "trying too hard" or "not trying hard enough," though...

She jazz hands down a subway staircase with half-dressed, leather cladded men in the video.

On the try-scale: electropop wasn't popular when she was recording the music for that album in 2008. I'm going out on a whim and saying she didn't give a fuck about LoveGame.

The song has a nice instrumental, though, I'll give it that.

I'm not gonna lie, I find Taylor Swift a really enjoyable guilty pleasure, especially "Fearless" and "Sparks Fly", but "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is completely horrible. I can barely even handle it on the radio or playing in a store. It's like they took "Mean" which at least had some Woobie/Narm Charm, and sucked all that out.

It's really jarring when her "counterpart" Carrie Underwood is releasing somewhat more mature stuff like "Blown Away" and she's still doing immature break-up songs.

And I hate the Damn Yankees song "Pile Driver", it's really disappointing to have a album full of well played stuff end with something that sounds so messy and badly played.
