Ok, I was leaving a casino today, and in the parking lot I could hear "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by I have no idea who and it made me cringe! I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Reminds me of "Loving You" by Phoebe Snow (?). Ugh. Chick music enjoyed by chicks that are WAY not my type....
Which songs do you hate, and why? I hate those two because it's trite and sappy and I am probably a little jaded and bitter :wink: !
I absolutely cannot abide Hotel California, either. Always hated the Eagles, but it is on every jukebox everywhere, and since most people bar-hop instead of camping in one spot like I do, they play that ^&$#((#$)@ song at every bar they go to, and never seem to be there when it plays! A buddy of mine and I counted once and we heard it TEN TIMES in one night. I thought my buddy the bartender was going to shoot someone or himself when it was all over. I don't think the lyrics make any sense (I can't figure them out, anyway)--is it about heroin or what? Wait wait wait, I am not sure I even care. Gawd.
Can't stand anything by Crosby, Stills and Nash, either, probably because of some deep seeded antimosity toward a hippie uncle who has listened to them exclusively since 1970, I think. Or Grand Funk Railroad. I'd rather chew tin foil than listen to that. I saw their "Behind The Music" and felt like an alien watching from another planet. I'll never get why they bothered to leave Flynt, MI.
Believe me, I have to stop myself, the list is endless. It slays me. But, as much as I hate so many other bands and songs, it's gotta be "Hotel California" for me. Anyone else?
I realize that everyone likes what they like, and I am not trying to cause trouble. I am just curious as to why people can't stand certain stuff. I am sure I offended almost everyone here by admitting I hate the Eagles (judging by album sales alone, me and one other guy in Ohio are the only two that don't own their Greatest Hits record), but I think we all know that there is no accounting for taste, and can handle it when someone has a different opinion about something--especially music.
Oh, and I like some Barry Manilow stuff, The Archies, lots of different lounge music, and Erasure. Just wanted to give you Eagles fans some ammo for when you lay into me! :D
Bettie Page is the most beautiful woman who ever lived. You better recognize, G!
