03/14/2005 Entry: "Music Survey"

Kingklash suggested this one: Name a musician/group you hate, but can't help liking one of their songs. Readysetgo.

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

Hey matt, you gonna change the lay out of the web site err not? Hehe I couldn't resit the low posting and cant think off the top of my head of any body like that. Now songs yeah theres tons that get stuck in your head no matter how annoying they are...

Chestnuts roasted by LordSorrow @ 03/14/2005 12:00 PM EST

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.

Waterloo...waterloo...grrrrrrrrr
I hate Abba!

Chestnuts roasted by Célia @ 03/14/2005 12:43 PM EST

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."

Chestnuts roasted by jhnnywalkr @ 03/14/2005 12:47 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Hellpop! @ 03/14/2005 01:02 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Mxmx @ 03/14/2005 01:39 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by STYLER @ 03/14/2005 02:01 PM EST

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

Chestnuts roasted by Gavok @ 03/14/2005 02:07 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by primusboy @ 03/14/2005 02:15 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by jhnnywalkr @ 03/14/2005 02:59 PM EST

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!"

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 03/14/2005 03:09 PM EST

Faint by Linkin Park. I wish I could help it.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff Mack @ 03/14/2005 03:10 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Soviet Rocket @ 03/14/2005 03:32 PM EST

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?

Chestnuts roasted by eskimo_guy @ 03/14/2005 03:34 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!

Chestnuts roasted by Shelby @ 03/14/2005 03:37 PM EST

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..

no idea who did it or what the hell it means, but i cant turn it off.

Chestnuts roasted by Draven @ 03/14/2005 04:03 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 03/14/2005 04:03 PM EST

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 03/14/2005 04:04 PM EST

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.....

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!

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 03/14/2005 04:18 PM EST

For me it is Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun.

Chestnuts roasted by Tiny @ 03/14/2005 04:41 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.

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.

Oh man, this is great.

I have a few songs.
1. "My Happy Ending" - Avril Lavigne

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*.

Chestnuts roasted by nerothewizard @ 03/14/2005 07:26 PM EST

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.

I like Catylyst by Simple Plan but I hate bands like them. In one of my classes this girl said she was the girlfriend of the lead singer from Good Charlotte. She was hot though so everyone would believe her but not behind her back. I like a few songs from Green Day especially Bolavard of Broken Dreams latly becuase its gonna be on the Batman Begins soundtrack. As for Faith I always liked it alot better when that other fag sang it.

Gotta say the Dukes of Hazzard theme song by Waylon Jennings. I usually can't stand any country music.

By the way, Shakira is supposed to have a new album out in "early 2005". Her early stuff is sublime (i.e. "Pies Descalzos" ).

Words cannot describe how much I hate and yet love that song. I hate it until I hear it, then I love it. When the song stops, I hate it again.

Totally, waaay off topic, but I know Matt's shown some old-school wrestling love. Tonight on Raw, there was a Jake The Snake appearance and a tag team win by THE ROCKERS. Awesome stuff.

And on topic, Phil Collins and "Against All Odds", but that's just since I've heard the Postal Service remake of it.

Chestnuts roasted by Andy @ 03/15/2005 03:43 AM EST

For me, that'd be S Club 7. I can't stand them, but Ican't quite get over the uppity goodness of their hit "Bring it All Back." This song is the reason why I stayed in university.

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 03/15/2005 04:23 AM EST

OK...time to totally embarress myself. I despise Jennifer Lopez...despise her. For years, I have said how devoid of talent she is...I mean, shes beautiful and that ass...damn...but I have hated everything that has come out of her mouth...

And now...this "Get Right" song comes out...and everytime I hear it, I like it more and more...yeah, so what? So I like a Jennifer Lopez song...so?

Chestnuts roasted by Goody @ 03/15/2005 08:32 AM EST

Holy crap, yes, that's the rest of the song! Thanks, man, it's been killin me not being able to remember that. Next time I'm at my parents' house I am soooo looking around the basement for my A-Team figures. I remember their backpacks fit like real backpacks (i.e., their arms went through straps) rather than the pole in the spine technique a-la G.I. Joe. I always liked that.

I don't remember the other accessories that well (other than a giant gun and toolbox that BA came with), but did hannibal come with disguises? Did he have, for instance, a godzilla costume like the one he wears in the opening credits?

I have to agree with the Mariah "All I want for Christmas is you" part, but also the Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" is a tune I cannot change the station to once it is on - maybe it has something to do with Annie Lennox's short red hair and the cows that were in the video?!

I dont recall the tomorrow people, but for some reason "Pinwheel" and "The Thrid Eye" along with "Danger Mouse" and "Count Duckula" are among my earliest Nickelodeon memories. Also... "You cant do that on Television" reminds me of Alanis Morriset (sp?). Not that i really have anything against the Canadian, just her sining (read wailing) at the end of dave mathews "Dont Drink the Water"-the only Dave Mathews Band song i can listen to more than once with out getting the urge to Safety Dance.

Chestnuts roasted by Dean @ 03/15/2005 11:18 PM EST

I can't stand Celine Dion, especially now that she's into the Anne Geddes mommy crap and the Vegas show bullshit, but the Titanic song launches me back into 6th grade like no other. Seriously, I've blocked 95% of that year out, but when that song comes on, it all returns. Which is strange, because I blocked out that year for a reason, it sucked, but the song bringing it back makes me all nostalgic for stuff I don't even want to remember.

Also, I hate Fred Durst with the white-hot passion of 1,000 suns and I'm pleased to report that he hasn't yet produced a single song that in any way justifies his existence on my planet. I wish him a prompt evisceration.

I would have to say that when R Kelly is on the radio, I feel unclean. But he's everywhere, and he still knows his way around a hook. Consequently, I'm slapping myself in the back of the head a lot for humming along. I even tried giving up dancing to R Kelly for Lent. But that's harder than giving up nicotine...

"The Tomorrow People" was my favourite show for awhile, and there were many sequel series, but they replaced a main character each time, which pissed me off.

And, every singer I hate has at least one song I can't help but like, but I can't think of their titles. I know there's one song I like that I was embarrased to find out was from N'Sync.

Chestnuts roasted by Tetsu Deinonychus @ 03/16/2005 03:04 AM EST

I've never been a Creed fan. I always thought of them as nothing more than an extremely poor man's Peral Jam (a superior group, IMHO). That said, I do like the song "Young Grow Old" which you Yanks first got on "WWF/WWE Forciable Entry" a few years back. It came out in Canada many years earlier on one of their CDs, not that I'd know which one since I don't own any of their CDs, cuz they still suck ass!

A lot of my friends consider me a music-snob because I rarely give any music that isn't death-metal a chance.

Wow, I caught Hard 'N Phirm and their bloody performance of El Corazon on Kimmel last night for the first time. The group is made up of comedic dating show host/House of 1000 Corpses co-star, Chris Hardwick and Mike Phriman.

I HATE U2, but like "One"

Go figure.

Muppet Baby, I'm confused. My guess is you're referring to a deleted post? Or did I miss something?
There's a number of bands that I think I "hate" that I was going to list, but then realized I couldn't name just ONE song I liked. Journey, for example. I was going to say "Seperate Ways" but then I remembered "Don't Stop Believing" and "Any Way You Want It". And I can't concur on Mariah Carey, either, since certain songs of hers carry sentimental teenage "dancing around like an idiot" memories.

Oh sweet merciful crap here we go.
1."Ride"- The Vines (That singers face wants me to smack him with a mallet but the song's beginning is hella catchy)
2."Freak on a leash"- Korn,sorry I never really liked them and I laughed when the one guy went born again and left the band.

Oh, I will admit I like most of the Spice Girl songs. Something about them Brit tarts that made me happy...

What amazes me about Good Charolette is how everyone and their mother hates them but they still sell albums. Fuckin teeny boppers that don't know any better.

"The Reason" by Hoobastank.

Chestnuts roasted by Crystal @ 03/16/2005 11:12 PM EST

I dunno, I don't listen to much music aside from Weird Al, and I adore all his songs.

Anyway matt, kinda off topic, but you go tta do an article on this new toyline "Fistful of Power." Its made by the same company that gave the world Mighty Beanz (Moose) and seems to be a homage to the old MUSCLE and Monster in my Pocket toylines. The website is www.fistful.com so, go and check it out. And, as i reccomended do at lest a blog item on it.

I would have used to have an answer with Céline Dion, as I'm generally not into her stuff, but I like the song "The Power of Love" (the "Because I am your lady, and you are my man" one, not the Back to the Future one from Huey Lewis and the News), however I eventually found out that the Céline version of that song was one of a million cover versions of the Jennifer Rush original, and I like the cover version peformed by the recently departed (much too soon) Laura Branigan much better.

Oh, wait, I actually liked the New Kids on the Block song "Tonight", from Step By Step, their last popular album in North America, back when I was a teenager, but now that I'm 30, I find I'm getting somewhat nostalgic for NKOTB in general, so now I find myself listening to songs I used to hate and finding them not too bad.

Oh oh...I hate the music on the EA games like Madden and MVP Baseball, but can't help singing them after playing the game for awhile...

Though MVP has me hating all Irish and the entire New England area with their damn Red Sox ode on the game.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

I can't believe this thread is still going! I realized I had something to contribute yesterday while driving in my car. That damn "On the Way Down" by Ryan Cabrera. Anyone ever see that flippin' idiot on that new Ashley Simpson show? OMG...dude is a complete tool.

Freakin "Since you been gone" by Kelly Clarkson just gets stuck in my head (and I'm ashamed to say I dont totally hate it.)

Safety Dance was mentioned in my last post. I cant really say that i hate that band, what else did they sing. that and the fact that i was 4 when they were popular. Happy St. Patrick's Day. incase you didnt know or care, St patrick was from Wales, not Ireland. God Bless the Irish and their booze, though, they will even drink for an Englishman.

primusboy: Personally, I think the greatest Men Without Hats song of all is the tender yet very intense "O Sole Mio" from Pop Goes the World, wherein you get the full brunt of Ivan Doroscuk's hurricanish voice, but the only Men Without Hats song that hit it truly big south of the border (meaning south of the Canadian border) was "Safety Dance". The Pop Goes the World album just happened to be released when New Wave was on the wane in the States. "O Sole Mio" should have been a much greater hit.

I preferred their song Pepper

Livin' La Vida Loca--Hated Ricky Martin and all that Latino Pop that was popular at the time ('99, right?)...but this song is very catchy...and reminds me of, well, let's say it takes me back to my college days.

I Want it That Way--NSync (or was it the Backstreet Boys?)--I was working in a grocery store at the time this song came out...it was played ALL the time, and eventually grew on me.

Sometimes I Run--Britney Spears--See "I Want it THat Way"...plus it's just an upbeat song.

This Love--Maroon 5...I don't know...the song is easy to sing along to...and I like easy to sing songs.

Toy SOldiers - Martika (can't believe this was sampled by eminem)

Eternal Flame - Bangles

Take Me Home Tonight - Eddie MOney ft. Ronnie Spector

Pretty much anything by Journey

Invincible - Pat Benatar

Come Sail Away - Styx

Never Surrender - Corey Hart

That Lil' Jon/trick daddy (or whoever it is) song that samples Crazy Train

St. Elmo's Fire - john parr (i think)

Any Kenny Loggins movie theme song

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 03/18/2005 12:33 AM EST

heh, maybe i just like bad music...

nah

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 03/18/2005 12:37 AM EST

I'm not a fan of Live, but I love hearing either "Lightning Crashes" or "Lakini's Juice".

I'm not a huge Eric Clapton fan either, I find most of his music to be meandering and rather boring, but I feel so moved every time I hear "tears in heaven"

One other thing, I'm not a follower of Fear Factory, but I love banging my head to their song "Zero Signal".

Shut up - simple plan.

.... I feel so ashamed.

Chestnuts roasted by Jade @ 03/18/2005 05:45 PM EST

I HATE Eminem, but I think 'Stan' is an awesome song.

As a Punk rock fan I also should hate Simple Plan. I don't and think 'Shut Up' is a catchy song.

"nerothewizard ... OMG *loves Trent and all of his music* :'(

Heh, sorry ... just never heard anyone call his music ... ahem ... "absolute trash" *winces*"

If it's any consolation I'm jumping up and down with anticipation for With Teeth. This from a guy who never usually jumps up and down with anticipation for things that aren't Transformers. Mmm, Galaxy Fooorce.. er, yes, anyway. Can't wait for With Teeth. Probably be the first CD I've bought straight after its release for years.

For me, well, there's only a few things I'm guilty of, and they're only in the picture because they have special significance, we'll say. I loathe boy bands with a very large amount of loathing, yet The One by the Backstreet Boys is still special. Sigh.

Chestnuts roasted by bionicninja @ 03/23/2005 07:58 PM EST

"over and over again" i cant stand it but i never turn it off when it comes on
"i believe in a thing called love" its very catchy yet annoying
"karma" i never really like alicia keys but i somehow catch myself singing along to all her songs
and also most of the songs by nsync or any of those other "boy bands"....it feels nice to get these off my shoulders
