I was thinking about how much I hate this one song by Bon Jovi this morning. It's Runaway off their debut album. I can't stand it!
So OT, do you have any songs you hate by your favourite band/singer/composer etc.?

I don't really have a favorite artist, though Depeche Mode would likely be my choice, but I always have songs I really dislike by my favorites.
Don't think I've found an artist that didn't have a song that I disliked, or at least didn't feel like listening to ever.
This may sound weird, but if I like an artist, I usually like everything they produce, even if they change their style, I seem to like it.
The only exception I can think of right now is Metallica's St. Anger album, and even then, there is probably 2 or 3 songs I can stand off of it.
'Triumph' by Immortal is terrible, which is surprising because most of the other songs from the Damned In Black album are great. Triumph starts out with the most pathetic attempt at a black metal scream I've ever heard, the lyrics are repetitive, the gallops are generic and Abbath's voice is totally shot.
There isn't really any song by La Oreja de Van Gogh that I flat-out hate, they're an awesome band.
My favorite band used to be Lacrimosa though, and I absolutely hate their song "Copycat"; it's the only song by them I truly hate.
Of course.
If you're an artist, you're gonna make some crap. In fact, if one of my favored artists NEVER makes crap then I'm more likely to grow tired of them. Because if you never make crap, then more often than not you're sticking with established formula, rather than trying to expand your horizons. And that's BORING. That's a hell of a lot more boring than a ten-year-long stretch of totally sucking.

I agree to a certain extent, but I would think that if an artist finds a winning formula and just sticks to it until it gets old, it becomes crap the moment you're bored with the new album because you've heard it a thousand times before even if it was great the past 99 times, so there's really no way any artist can NEVER make crap, imo. :P
Other than 20 second long interludes, no. I've enjoyed every Porcupine Tree song.

They are one of the few really consistant bands around. I even like that album Metanoia even though I didnt much before. Their older stuff is harder to get into, but it is all listenable. Some of my other favorite bands have had a few missfires though, like Belle & Sebastian. I love them but that album of theirs Storytelling is pretty mediocre. Pink Floyd too had a few bad songs later on when Roger Waters left, then ironically when he came back and made The Final Cut. For some reason I never got into that album much.
i wouldnt say hate.
but there are a few Breaking Benjamin songs i just dont like that much, like Rain, and Forever.

You don't like Runaway?!i'm a diehard Birthday Massacre fan, but honestly i don't like the song nevermind. To me it's just a very generic rock song that doesn't have any of the cool dkar Alice in wonderland elements that make them so great.
[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"][QUOTE="bluezy"]I can't stand to listen to most of Avenged Sevenfold's first album.bluezyTrue...Eternal Rest is the only one I like. Waking the Fallen is their second album. Sounding the Seventh Trumpet was released two years prior, in 2001. Ah,right...Haven't listened to them in quite a while.
I cannot even listen to Maiden's material with Blaze Bailey.RAMRODtheMASTERThis may be cheezy, but if I want to hear stuff from the Blaze albums, I just youtube for the Live versions...It gave me an appreciation specifically for Sign of the Cross...It's a killer song with Bruce.

The Paul Diano stuff was good and the Blaze stuff was terrible but whenever you listen to any of it with Bruce it seems perfect. Bruce is just that awesome.[QUOTE="RAMRODtheMASTER"]I cannot even listen to Maiden's material with Blaze Bailey.Bluestorm-Kalas

Also a Massacre fan, I am not doing this because i'm trying to go out my way to go against you (very must respect you in fact) but Nevermind is actually one of my favorite songs from them. It still keeps the elements of their style, but it's lyrics relate more to a short term spoilt teenage girl who is sitll under the thumb of her parents perspective. It's got a punky attitude to it which I love, and Rainbows guitar rifts are awesome, especially towards the end. It's certainly one of their more fluffy tracks, it isn't really about very much, why it's called Nevermind, it's sort of like "so whatever" but coming from the alternative types.
I know... I just said a whole lot of nothing didn't I.

There is something about Bruce, his vocal styles, his stage presence, even though he isn't Iron Maiden's original vocalist for all albums, he perfects them (and they seemed perfect before hand to me :P). I think he's just as important to Maiden as Steve Harris or Dave Murray, and those two are the only ones to be on every album.[QUOTE="RAMRODtheMASTER"]I cannot even listen to Maiden's material with Blaze Bailey.RAMRODtheMASTER
I don't hate any songs, but there are a few songs that are mediocre.
Like "meet me in the bathroom" by The Strokes
or "Guiding Light" by Muse

Anything that he's ever done, with Samson, with Maiden, and even his solo stuff, I just love it all. He's just great.Please Log In to post.
