Of course some artists don't have the luxury of a deep catalog of songs to be known for, they only got one shot at stardom. Songs such as: Terry Jacks - Seasons In The Sun, Morris Albert - Feelings, Bo Donaldson - Billy Don't Be A Hero, Hues Corporation - Rock The Boat, Debby Boone - You Light Up My Life, and many, many more!
So just like there is a deep emotional attachment to the songs that I love the most, (click HERE for that post) there is an equally visceral response to the songs that I absolutely loathe. Without further ado, here is that list:
1. Nazareth - Love Hurts - The vocal on this song makes me hurt. I can't turn the dial fast enough when I hear this song on the radio.
2. Steve Miller Band - Abraccadabra - Just brainless, no effort at all from a great band . . .
3. Three Dog Night - The Show Must Go On - First we have the circus - calliope organ sound intro and the song actually goes downhill from there.
4. John Lennon - Imagine - Sorry, this is one of the most hopeless, depressive, soul-sapping pieces of music I've ever heard. It's also not true.
5. Who - Did You Steal My Money? - One of the last studio attempts before their breakup. They should have saved their time and money and stopped at the previous album.
6. Billy Joel - Uptown Girl - Hard to believe that this song came from the genius that gave us "Italian Restaurant."
7. Beatles - Ob-La-D, Ob-La-Da - Both John Lennon and George Harrison absolutely hated this song. They are correct.
8. Chicago - You're The Inspiration - Even the best baseball players rarely hit .400.
9. Bruce Springsteen - Real Man - Even the "Boss" hasn't played this song in public since 1992. And his average concert lasts over 3 1/2 hours!
10. Michael Jackson - Ben - A love song about a rat . . .
