I cannot stand Hallelujah.

Everybody uses it as an emotional song for their emotional wedding slideshow, literally why???
If you look up the meaning, you'll see the song isn't really praising the Lord or whatever these people want, it's like they just heard "Hallelujah" and ignored everything else.

So now you have the bride and groom's smiling pictures scrolling by while the dude is rambling about "She tied you to a kitchen chair, She broke your throne and she cut your hair", WTF??? How come no one ever found this awkward???
Yeah I get it, Samson and Delilah, not really a good match for a wedding!

And it's overused to shit. Whatever deep meaning this song has, I cannot stand to hear it for the umpteenth time.
Especially not the music composing ramble of the opening verse.
Shut the fuck up about the the minor fall and the major lift.
Please use literally anything else for your photo montage I beg you.

Conversely, I absolutely LOVE that song.. However, I was introduced to it from the Leonard Cohen album it was originally released on. Everything after has been a crappy cover.

Cohen gives it the gravity it deserves, and you truly understand that it's not a religious song.

At least, not religious in the way the masses see it as. It's more the religion you find in a really great orgasm.

There's a Leonard Cohen documentary where he talks about it taking decades to write, verses that were added and lost, more explicit verses.... Leonard Cohen was amazing.

The fact that this was posted 7 hours ago and nobody has said "All I want for Christmas is you" by Mariah Carey warrants an entire episode of Unexplained Mysteries imo.

I don't hate the song. I hate the fuxkers that start playing it at the start of November and just keep at it until new years.

I don't know what it's actually called, but I call it "The Mexican Beeping Song". It was on the playlist at a Mexican restaurant once, and I offered the server $50 he could turn it down/ off /change the station / anything to make it stop. He looked at me with a pained expression and just said "I would do it for free if I could, I hate this too".

El Sonidito.

Ironically I love it, but I only developed my love for it by finding it through the music video and laughing my absolute tits off at the keyboard player.

Whatever the title of "This girl is on fire" is.

Pretty sure it's supposed to be empowering or something but all I hear is ThIs guRl iZ oN FiiIiiRrrrrrRrreee!!!! two hundred times in a row.

Like okay she's on fire. Got it. Get damn fire extinguisher or something and SHUT UP.

Honorary shout out to the 80℅ of songs on the radio thst are about relationships. You know there's more topics that exist? Does it ALWAYS have to be about relationships?

And Christmas songs on eternal repeat starting before Halloween. Thanks, radio. I hate Christmas songs now. Not because they suck, but because you suck gor playing them over and over FOR HALF THE YEAR.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Shoutout for hating songs about relationships! Like, yeah, a few are cool. But there are just too many. It's boring.

Fun fact! I was literally tortured (yes, actually for real) by Collective Soul so anytime I hear one of their two "hit" songs I get flung into PTSD flashbacks. I have to cover my ears and basically sink to the floor or immediately leave the area if that's possible.

Suffice to say I hate them.

Also I was a retail slave for over a decade and hate all Christmas music. Super mega hate.

Edit: abused by the music, not the band. Sorry I didn't mean to be misleading.

That shitty version of I'm Blue that has the laziest lyrics ever written with a singer that has an obnoxious nasally voice. "I'm good, yeah I'm feeling alright, this is gonna be the best freaking night of my life" sounds like the first lyrics she came up with when she woke up that morning. That nasally "na na na na na" at the end also grinds my gears. So glad that song isn't being played on the radio anymore, I'd much rather listen to the original I'm Blue Da Ba Dee for an hour straight than listen to this version even once.

Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney. He is one of the greatest songwriters of the modern age, and my hot take is that only someone as good as him could write a song so bad.

But it should be a war crime.

Don't know if I can pick a singular least favorite. I have entire artists I despise for their particular vocal styles.

Over-the-top wailers: Adele, Gotye

Pouty mumblers: Lana Del Ray, Billie Eilish

Billy goat bleeting: Stevie Nicks

Take your pick of their respective overplayed hits and mash them together. That's my most hated song.

Edit: forgot Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, sounds like he swallowed his tongue

Ouuuhhh, can you name more things you hate? I love all of those and might find new favorites through your dislikes.

Radio Gaga by Queen.

I imagine being forced to listen to anything on a loop for an entire week would have the same effect. (worked on a cruise ship that was in the final stages of construction and to test the PA system, they played that song. On loop. For an entire 7 days.)

Last Christmas. Hate it so much.

Also Independence Day by Martina McBride, but my reason for hating it is silly.

Honestly the song, about a woman escaping domestic violence, is fine. But there is a line that frustrates me.

The chorus goes like this:

“Let freedom ring
Let the white doves sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay,
It’s Independence Day!”

This got used by Rush Limbaugh for his awful radio show. And that penultimate line infuriates me, because it illustrates how evangelicals do not understand their own religion, which has led to them embracing vengeance, power, and fascism. (Not that the song led them to that, it’s a symptom.)

The stone rolling away, referring to Jesus’s resurrection, is very clearly described in the Bible as the sign that sins are forgiven. That’s the whole point of the religion, that everyone is a sinner and in need of a savior. The stone rolling away means the guilty don’t pay.

But evangelicals have twisted their religion so much they think the important part is about punishing those who don’t follow their rules. It’s about worshipping power. So the stone rolling away means Jesus is about to kick some guilty ass or some nonsense.

Additionally, because irony is dead, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find domestic abusers belting that refrain at the top of their lungs, not knowing what the song is about, because of Rush fucking Limbaugh.

Some maga crybaby trash about when Trump got shot at that rally that came up on my spotify feed. I don't the name of it or the "artist" but it's literally the thing that pushed me over the edge to drop spotify and go back to 100% pirating my music.

Before I heard that probably would have said Bohemian Rhapsody.

How can you hate Jimmy Buffett? Dude seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I can understand not liking his music, but “fuck that guy, he sucked” seems harsh for someone as chill and selfless as he was in life.

Easy

#Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

Absolutely hate that song. It's bad enough that it's the poster child for baby's first "emo/goth" song. Badly written, overly dramatic, cheesy cringe af.... But I hate it for more than that.

I used to do (nearly) weekly karaoke with friends at the bar. And almost every week, every goddamn week, some "quirky" scene couple on their first date thinks they'll try to be cute sing a duet together... and everytime, every goddamn time, it's "Bring me to Life". And no, they can never sing, it sounds like if gym sneakers had autism.

Hate that song. Not just me, like, everyone who frequently does karaoke hates that song. Most karaooke DJs don't even let you pick it, they know what's up and they're even more sick of hearing it. I hear that song and I get fucking PTSD flashbacks. The cringe is physically painful.

I both have no idea what this means and also can't stop laughing.

I like it, but I gradually quit listening to it after seeing Skynyrd use the Confederate loser flag in a concert video

Lynyrd Skynyrd used a Confederate flag from the 1970s until the 2010s, and several criticisms have been raised against them because of this.[51][52] While promoting the album on CNN on September 9, 2012, members of the band talked about its discontinued use of Confederate imagery.[53] In September 2012, the band briefly did not display the Confederate flag, which had for years been a part of their stage show, because they did not want to be associated with racists that adopted the flag. However, after protests from fans, they reversed this decision, citing it as part of their Southern American heritage and states' rights symbolism.[54] The band would later cease use of the Confederate flag starting with their 2019 tour.

Ah to have no principles
