[up]I like WANEGBT entirely for its sheer Ear Worm powers. And for the fact that I like hearing Taylor do something outside her comfort zone (at least sonically — lyrically, it's still her usual "house style").

I'm like the only person who can stand Love Game/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.

Count me as the other person who finds that song amusing almost solely because of that line.

Seriously, "disco stick." It just speaks for itself.

[up][up]For me it's the bad kind of Ear Worm, more like an Ear Parasite. It's just so obnoxious and condescending.

That "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" song has hit it so big in Australia. I doubt it'll clear up any time soon, either.

Fun Fact: I don't really like "Levon" from Elton John. Maybe with more plays I'll grow to like it, but it's not exactly my favorite.

[up] I am indifferent to Taylor Swift in general, but I was amused when I first heard that was actually what her latest hit single was called - "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" sounds like a fake Taylor Swift song title someone would come up with to make fun of her tendency to write Breakup Songs.

[up] Don't write off that idea too quickly—it wasn't written entirely by her, but with Max Martin (a.k.a.: the man who is the face of what is wrong with so much popular music today), I found out.

Oddly enough, even though the lyrics piss me off from just how juvenile they are, it's the guitar riff in it that pisses me off the most. Ooh, you think you're so clever playing that riff and then repeating it reversed? The Beatles beat you to that by about 46 years.

[up]What amuses me is that the song bombed SO badly at country radio (debuted at #13, fell to #19, rebounded to #15, disappeared). Yet it's the #1 country song because they rejiggered the country charts to factor in downloads.

Dear Lord, if that song was a hit on country radio stations, I think we'd have to officially declare the genre dead.

[up]It wasn't. At least the country mix had the backwards guitar riffs (which I actually think are pretty neat) traded in for a more "normal" riff, and a banjo mixed in.

Yeah, I read that the instrumental track was different there. Is it any...I hesitate to say "better", because that implies there was quality to begin with.

The Soup this week cut together a bunch of Taylor Swift intros to her songs on VH 1's Storytellers. They were all about "guys that she really liked at the time", with only minor variations on that phrase. I just about died laughing at how sad that was.

But to the thread topic, I can't stand Gorillaz' "Starshine". No one enjoys hearing Damon Albarn's voice crack, do they? I never understood why that song couldn't have been sung by Tina Weymouth. It's not a bad song, it's just so painfully out of Albarn's register.

I think my country station has already stopped playing it, I haven't been subjected to it in about a month now.

Of course they're usually pretty good about not playing crappy songs anymore then they have to to appease record companies.

I like Eminem, and the songs in Recovery are mostly solid, but Not Afraid gets cheesier every time I hear it.

I liked "Not Afraid" for a while and still do, but it does come off as quite silly with the ANGRY INSPIRATIONAL RAPPING.

Normally I'm a big fan of George Strait, but everything about "Love Bug" sets my teeth on edge.

#218: Nov 19th 2012 at 7:22:47 PM

[up]George Jones cover, did you know that?

I already listed my least favorite George Strait songs. I know most people hate "The Breath You Take", and I admit it has the typical Casey Beathard faults (by which I mean a mostly two-note melody), but I don't mind it.

[up]I'm not really that big a fan of the neo-classic country stuff. Even on real classic country I tend to lean towards outlaw-country stuff like Johnny Cash.

"Crawling" by Linkin Park is currently in my "I always skip this song when my iTunes is on shuffle" list.

While The Jokerr is one of my favorite rappers, I hate "Won't Say Sorry", "The Invisible" and "Give Me Your Eyes" and while I liked "Here I Am", it was very misplaced in the track listing.

Also "Dat Ass" by Dubbs, *cringe*.

Not a "hate," this one, but a "don't quite get the joke": "Fido, Your Leash Is Too Long" by The Magnetic Fields. I just don't know what I think, let alone what I'm supposed to think.

That said, I went from hating to loving "The Luckiest Guy In Town" over the course of the song itself when I first heard it. The Magnetic Fields are like that.

Weekend Warrior by Iron Maiden. It's just so slow and boring, and doesn't even have awesome lyrics to alleviate the boredom I suffer while listening to it.
