Alright! Let the carnage commence.
And remember, if I bagged a song you liked, you probably hate King Of Wishful Thinking by Go West, and I love it
Note: I've tried to keep this to so-called classics. Rest assured, I hate plenty of other songs too.
In no particular order ...
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana: Here's a tip Kurt, take the marbles out of your mouth. Seriously, how does this become a teen anthem? More like a slacker's anthem: "... oh well, whatever, never mind ..." "Here we are now, entertain us". Entertain yourselves goddammit! Dead set average song that is so overrated it's not funny.
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC: Now, if ever there's an Aussie song that should never be heard again, this is it. Year seven student lyrics, sickening film clip, bloody useless Brian Johnson screeching like Barnesy with his nuts in a vice, and generally just a very average piece of music.
Satisfaction - Rolling Stones: I like the Stones generally, but this qualifies as their most played song, and it's a fairly average piece of work. Keiff's done heaps better riffs, the Jagger vocal is more shouted than sung, it's a cruddy song.
Stairway To Heaven - Led Zepplin: Here's a sacred cow that belongs in a hamburger. If this is the best song of all time, then I propose that Take It From Me by Girlfriend is the best Australian song of all time. Boring!
Working Class Man - Jimmy Barnes: From a man who sang the quintessentially Australian Khe Sanh, a horrible Yankee sell-out. Shame James, shame.
Your Song - Elton John: Did he write this when he was five? "If I was a sculptor, but then again, no." Buy some liquid paper Reggie, don't leave your crossings out in the lyrics. Drivel.
Thriller - Michael Jackson: Did it ever occur to anyone that all the money spent on the film clip may have been an attempt to hide a pretty average, novelty song?
Wonderwall - Oasis: A brief qualification - I like Oasis and I don't mind this song. But it's not even in the same class as Don't Look Back In Anger or Champagne Supernova, which were singles off the same album. Vastly overrated ditty.
Eagle Rock - Daddy Cool: One of the great travesties of my lifetime was to learn that somebody, somewhere, without my express written consent, voted this as one of Australia's best song of the 20th century. Can I suggest that any music polls in future be conducted solely amongst people who aren't tone deaf.
Most People I Know ... - Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs: While we're on the subject of complete rubbish Australian songs of the seventies ...
Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple: Those three chords! Argh! I reserve a special hatred for this song.
Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty: I have posted on this song elsewhere. Not good.
Absolutely any disco song ever made. Disco is a dangerous disease, not a musical genre.
I'm sure I'll think of more, but that'll do for starters.
