Dave Bryce Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Do you have a least favorite piece of music? If not, pick one that really turns you off, and tell us why. I'd be interested to hear if the one that you write down is the first one that came into your head when you read the question. If not, what was and why'd you change it? dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realtrance Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 All of Squarepusher's "Music is Rotted One Note" because every time I put it on to try to give it a chance, I force myself to listen all the way through and I always come out the other side feeling like I would have had a hell of a better hour just listening to Miles Davis's Live/Evil instead (which the Squarepusher title seems a watered-down, musically uninformed imitation of). rt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intheether Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 All of Squarepusher's "Music is Rotted One Note" No way! My favorite Squarepusher album is "Feed Me Weird Things" by far, but I don't think anything Tom Jenkinson has ever done is that bad. To each his own, but IMHO his bass playing kicks ass! Worst song? Geeze Dave..too many to mention. Sorry. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucktunes Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 The one tune that never fails to send me diving for the radio to change the station as soon as I recognize it? Neil Young - Southern Man The lead vocal sounds like a screaming, mortally wounded cat. And the guitar leads are worse than nails on a chalkboard. Listening to this song all the way through is like trying to drink a full can of warm Stag beer - I just..CAN'T..do it!

Bubbajazz Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 I generally ignore what I don't like, but you can pick just about anything by Kenny G. Why? Because he has chops, and wastes them on truly insipid elevator music. Speaking of which, I was walking through a store a couple of months ago, and found myself listening in on the Muzak. Why? How about an orchestral version of "Peaches En Regalia" by Zappa. Hot Rats to Muzak. Hmmmmm...I would have thought the estate might have exerted a little jurisdiction and discretion. Then again, Frank would have seen the irony. Just a funny moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3fiend Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 #1 of all time: "Patience" by Guns & Roses. Even typing that song makes my skin crawl. I think what bugs me about it most was that some cheesy producer probably once said to the 80's hairball band: "You really need a sappy ballad for the chicks - Can you put one together in a couple of hours?"

ELP71 Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 "The Joker" by Steve Miller Represents to me the drudgery of playing for drunken fools. Followed closely by anything by Creed or Dave Matthews.

RABid Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The first band I was in had three members that were crazy about the band, and they owned the PA. We learned 11 songs, 6 of which were Lynyrd S. That band did not last long but other bands I played with still suffered. For years people in the audience whould shout for Freebird. I really began to hate that song with a passion afer the 10,000 time. We finally started telling people we did not know the song. Robert This post edited for speling.

Dave Bryce Posted March 31, 2002 Author Share Posted March 31, 2002 Originally posted by Pim: What about yours, Dave?Oh, there's a bunch of different stuff that turns me off. The first one that comes to mind right now is that stupid awful pseudo-cover of "Angel of the Morning" by...who is it...Shaggy? I mean, the guy can barely sing, and he only sorta uses some of the words...his artistic interpretation, or something, I guess...I really dislike that sort of thing. I'll bet he claims that he wrote it, too...like Vanilla Ice claimed he wrote Ice Ice Baby because he pasted a note at the beginning of the phrase... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyote Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I used to hate the ChickenDance too. But this year, they play it at the Islander games and it goes: da da Da da da da da || da da Da da da da da || da da Da da da da da || The Rangers Suck..... I have a newfound appreciation for it. ;-) Originally posted by PatAzz: Originally posted by nursers: The Chicken DanceI used to think the same thing, until one OctoberFest when a Mick Jagger impersonator (he played with our band from time to time) did the Chicken Dance as Mick.

burningbusch Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 There was a pop radio tune in the late 70s. I used to hear it playing in the bars. The title MUST have been "You take my Breath Away" cuz I counted, and the singer repeated that phrase something like 43 TIMES. Generally, I don't pay much attention to lyrics but when you shove something that obnoxious in my face, even I've got to react. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Frederick Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I think a good qualifier for this catagory is any song you are subjected to involuntarily. My pick is that Phil Collins song "How I wish it would rain" or whatever. What a sad, dumbass Pink Floyd ripoff. Even worse than his "Susudio" ripoff of Prince's "1999". If wishes were omelettes we would all be filled with cheese, AND HAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan South Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 One word: Yanni. I don't think John Tesh is particularly terrible, but Yanni's music literally makes me RUN from the room. It sounds as though it were composed by a junior high student who show no promise whatsoever. The Black Knight always triumphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we did a few months back when the rodeo was in town and some smart-ass redneck called out for that tune. We're a jazz band, fer cryin'out loud! Most of the people got a big laugh out of it, and the redneck didn't bother us anymore! Peace all, Steve ><> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
