The Sheryl Crow/Kid Rock duet.  I don't even know the name of it.  I don't know why but I never liked it.  It's like finger nails on a chalk board to me.  Everytime it's on I turn it off.

OK, these will not surprise anyone whose heard my blather.

• "Barbie Girl"
  
• Madonna's "American Pie", which seems to have disappeared.
  
• Brittany's "My Perogative"

I actually like "Jane...." but yeah, way to much play time.

All right!  It's 3:10 PM CT, and "Jane...." is on.  Who requested it?  Fess up.

I believe you mean the Muppets.  And I'll take any annoying muppets song over Jane's Getting Serious at the moment.  Don't get me wrong, it's an okay song, but I'm so sick of it!  It's literally been played twice as much as the Muppets' song.  And I have a feeling that the same person requesting Jane's Getting Serious is also requesting Love is Alive.  Also an okay song, but I'm getting sick of it.

All of the songs mentioned above, except the muppet song. 

And Michael Bolton's "how can we be lovers"...yeah, that's starting to get old.

ok..  sorry to have to say it... Gloria     I can't stand Gloria...   Gloria and that song Mickey by Toni Basil.

I think they are the 2 most overplayed 80's songs ever.

actually put my headset on the desk until its over.

Whew! Survived! Muppets to the rescue...  

Britney Spears she must be getting a hell of a lot of thumbs down, but as much as i cant stand her, i feel it would be wrong to remove her or any other of the annoying songs as obviously someone likes them, and thats the beauty of interactive radio, you get what you ask for, and some ones asking!

no its just you star, thats a classic!

JD, before I read your thread, I just requested Too Shy!  Sorry!  It's one of those songs that I didn't care for when it came out, but now it makes me reminisce.

Oh, Star!  I love Mickey by Toni Basil.  It's my daughter's favorite song and when I hear it I think of her with her little pom poms (that used to MY University of Alabama pom poms, ROLL TIDE!) jumping around the living room singing it.  She can't carry a tune in a bucket, but she sure does try. 

I don't know which song I think sucks the worst.  I'll have to think on it and get back to ya.  Good topic, though. 

cp- not a problem bro! there are "those" songs as well that are tied to events in our lives worth remembereing- hahaha for me its "Careless Whisper" by WHAM. TERRIBLE! But tied to a GOOOOOOD memory!

And hey, if you are ordering up the Sinatra, well that's JUST FINE IN MY BOOK!!!

dude, i need to go home... without realizing it, i flipped over to 80's obsession's station... all of a sudden all these funky weird songs were on...   i was like ewww.  and then ewww and then what is this???   finally i just checked and realized that i wasn't listening to freeze frame any longer.   only took me about a hour to figure it out.... and now i missed my requests!!!!!!! 

 

I possibly have a unique perspective on the songs that suck thread.  I am a songwriting musician and before I set off on the songwriting tightrope, I admit I listened to music somewhat differently than I do today. Alot happens from sitting at the piano or guitar during the writing process to arranging, recording, mixing and editing.  There are alot of chefs stirring the soup sometimes.  There are times this helps, and times it doesn't.  Either way, it is like capturing lightning in a bottle to write the elusive "hit" song.  Needless to say, I try and disect songs now for things I like and things I dont.  But every song starts as an idea in someone's head....and to me that is the truly amazing part of music......sorry for the dissertation.....

Excellent thread idea...................... -Dylan

Ah, yes, Dylan.  You raise a very good point.  Working in design for a living, and having a few creative outlets outside of work, I understand what you mean by the glorious confusion that is the creative process.  Let me add this to the discussion.

Creativity is one of the sharpest double-edged swords.  I am in full support of the idea that no one can dictate to an artist what is art.  Creating art is personal, it comes from the heart.  The other edge of the sword is that no artist can tell an audience how they must or must not respond to their art.  It is really hard when you've poured all you've got into a creation and all you get in  response is "Ah, no.  Don't think so."  So easily we respond as artists "You don't know what that piece took to complete!"  Sad but true, some pieces just don't work.  Not even good PR and marketing can pull of the "sow's ear = silk purse" formula.

In the end we have Grammy winners, and a "Songs that SUCK!" thread.

  I'm done.

As long as her loving mother/manager told her to, or at least until Kevin wanted to snuggle (EWWW!).

Hey, it's not like Bobby Brown really cares.  He needs the cash!

All right, enough nastiness.  Hearing "Barbie Girl" does that to me.
