Quiet Riot… because Cum On Feel The Noize is too damn catchy for a girl raised on 80’s rock.

I hate just about everyone that sang "We Are The World" with the exception of Huey Lewis and the News. However that song always brings a tear to my eye in a sappy 80’s sort of way. I HATE that.
I don’t know the band’s name, but that damned Friends song. I got busted once singing along to it in my car. Right when it got to the clapping, I look over at the car next to me and two girls were just staring at me with a look that said "You are a moron."

You know the sad thing about Quiet Riot? Their first hit was a cover by a British glam band, so they try to follow it up on their second album with…another cover of a song by that same band!
Obviously, "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" didn’t quite catch on as much as their first hit.

"She’s Every Woman" by Garth Brooks, although he was "really" Chris Gaines at the time, so does it count?

Yeah…
The wife loves Dixie Chicks and country, as I have tried to stay away from it for fear of being stereotyped here in Germany, I can’t get enough of it.

although this doesn’t count as a musician/group…i feel like less of a man for loving the Grease soundtrack

I despise Creed, but I admit that their cover of Riders on the Storm is possibly as good as the original version.

Aws much as i hate and want to string Fred Durst up by his thumbs, "faith" was a pretty cool cover. I feel so dirty and ashamed.

I’m already noticing a pattern here. A lot of these listed I think will be bands that suck who managed to do a fairly decent cover. I hate cover songs, at least when they are released as the new band’s main single. You like them, but of course you do, you’ve heard them a million times before. It’s a no-talent move.

Well, at the beginning of their widespread fame, I didn’t care much for Green Day, mainly due to the hype of them being the second coming of Punk. (like it ever went away in the first place.) But, I really dug "Walking Contradiction." With a little help from Time, I can say G-Day is a pretty good group on their own, PR aside. It’s that in general, I feel if you are going to hate a pop group or singer, find one song you like, and use that as your standard for dislike. "Why can’t they make more tunes like this!"
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous by Good Charlotte.
I hate how they’re ridiculous posers and I hate their scene…but everytime that song comes on the radio/iPod, I can’t help but start bopping up and down to the beat.

the only song to get stuck in my fragile mind as of late was ’stonehenge’ from the movie ‘this is spinal tap.’ does anyone else feel my pain?
Ghosted by eskimo_guy @ 03/14/2005 3:34 PM EST
I can’t stand any of the "boy bands," but I’ll tell you, if I’m along in the car and "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys comes on, I’m singing at the top of my lungs. I have the same secret love affair with the Titanic theme song. I’d never admit it in public, though!
I have to go with Shelby to some extent: I HATE NSync but I like the song "Tearin’ Up My Heart". I also love the songs "Barbie Girl" and "Candyman" by the group Aqua. Oh, yeah and the Spice Girls, NKOTB and Olivia Newton-John are guilty pleasures of mine..

I like Celebrity Skin, by Hole, but I hate the rest of their songs.
I also like the song Dramamine, by Modest Mouse…the rest? Hated it!
In Too Deep, by Sum 41.
There was one song a long time ago by Garbage, Matt posted it as an Easter Egg on an article. I liked that song, but that’s about it by them.
Kenny Rogers – The Gambler
And this one song from Veggie Tales, it’s called the Cheeseburger Song It’s really cool!
There are def. other bands that I like a few songs, but these bands are the one-song only club.

Hey Kingklash — great poll choice!
Uh, I hate admitting this, seriously, but it must be done: I’m a Christmas music junkie (big surprise, I know), and despite my best efforts, whenever I’m driving solo and the windows are definitely not open, Mariah’s damn X-Mas song is perfectly welcome. Go me.

Matt, I share your passion for the season and must admit an unhealthy adoration for the music. Thankfully, I work with an MP3 nut who has amassed a xmas collection of no less than 9Gb. He brings in that chunk of his hard drive every thanksgiving for the office to share…..

Who doesn’t hate Britney (insert ho reference here______) but like a song hers?
I have a true love for Phil Collins, some ppl know this, but its hard to admit it to others. I also enjoy WAAAYYYY too much is cartoon theme songs. I know Tail Spin by heart, my friends make me sing it over and over just cause I can do that grin and bear it when your in it part! And I truly believe I would have been a better choice to sing in the Little Mermaid!

For me it is Violent Femmes – Blister in the Sun.
Ghosted by Tiny @ 03/14/2005 4:41 PM EST
I know what you mean by your friends making you sing that song. The theme song to the commercial for the A-Team action figures. For some reason I seem to be the only person I know able to sing it in its entirety. They constantly force me to do so.

MST3K meets Cheap Seats (Monday at 10pm on ESPN)
I understand the dislike of the Sklar Brothers, but I enjoy the show for feeling more like public access with a budget; rather than just a MST3K rip-off.
"1985" by Bowling For Soup. I hate that band. I hate everything they represent (as a punk rock fan). I hate all the crap that sounds like them. I hate all the obvious cliches in that song. I hate his snotty voice. But once I hear taht song, It’s stuck in my head all day long. Damn you, snotty skate punks.
"Springstein, Maddona, way befefore Nirvana AAAHAHHHHGGGGGGG@#$@"

The Widow by Mars Volta
Very awesome tune that evokes early Led Zeppelin with compelling lyrics and a strong sonic style.
The rest of their album evokes the prog rock equivalent of lukewarm ferret shit.
I vaguely remember the A-Team action figure theme. The one piece I remember is "you can pretend that you’re Hannibal, Murdock or Face; or even BA Barracus, you know each one is an ace."
I fucking hate Billy Joel (even though I’m from NYC), but LOVE Captain Jack.
I have a few songs.
1. "My Happy Ending" – Avril Lavigne
2. "Thing called Love" The Darkness
3. "Just Lose it" Eminem
I’m sure there’s more.

That’s right, I’m an "ltrftp" (long time reader first time poster), and I just have to say first of all that X-E is friggin’ awesome! Stumbled into it completely by accident while researching an English paper and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Now, as far as the poll: I’m gonna have to say Nine Inch Nails — "Hurt." All the rest of their music I’ve heard is absolute trash, but there’s just something about Trent Rezner (sp?) pouring out his soul into that piece that hits me right *here*.

nerothewizard … OMG *loves Trent and all of his music* :’(
Heh, sorry … just never heard anyone call his music … ahem … "absolute trash" *winces*
Anyhow, welcome to posting at X-E

Man, Shakira is definitely my guiltiest radio pleasure, though she seems to have disappeared. However, Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You…that I will never, ever change the station for.

Something like this you hate to admit but;
Avril Lavigne, don’t know the name of the song, but when ever it’s on, I don’t change the station.
