Hits You Dislike by Artists You Love

I'm not talking album tracks - we could go on and on there - but songs that were chart hits. I've got tons to add, but I'll start off with these two:

Shining Star and Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind & Fire. I love every EWF album I own, but I always skip these two tracks. Can't stand 'em!

Janet Jackson & Luther Vandross - 'The Best Things In Life Are Free'

I love both these artists, but man - this is just trashy, not to mention it was released like a zillion times here.

If there was ever a record that bugged the fuck outta me - this would be high in my top ten for sure.

Prince - Musicology
I'm shocked at how this song is a by the numbers laundry list of Prince's favorite music. Plus he forgot to to add "ladies with an attitude, fellas that were in the mood".

Yeah, I have to be in the mood to listen to Cream. It's not one of my favorite songs. Niether is Kiss, except the extended version

I love Peices of Ice! But I will say it's not very standard Diana Ross.

Most of the songs on U2's new record

I know I "should" like all of them, but they don't do anything for me. Except for Yellow Submarine, they are all cut from the same cloth. shrug If I want Beatles rock, I'd rather hear 'Don't Let Me Down', 'Helter Skelter', 'Taxman', 'I'm Down' or 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)'.

Lady Madonna,Paperback Writer, and Get Back are rockin tunes. I agree YS & DT can get annoying.

Also, I can see being sick of Stairway, but HATING it? I went through a period back in college when if I heard that song one more time I'd go crazy...but after years of stearing clear of it...now I appreciate it again...especially hearing it on How The West Was Won. Its a brilliant song.

Anything that Janet Jackson did in the whole decade of the 1990s to the present.

All of the Jam and Lewis productions in the 1990s to the present.

Most of Madonna's stuff after "Erotica" (my favorite) with the exception of "Ray Of Light".

A lot of Michael Jackson's stuff after "Thriller".

Oh, I don't "hate" any of the songs I put on that list. Stairway is far from a terrible song, but I never need to hear it again.

I have odd taste in Beatles music (ie: some of my favorite Beatles songs are 'Long, Long, Long', 'Lovely Rita', and 'I'm Looking Through You'). That particular rock sound that's in all of those songs just doesn't click with me.

I'm glad someone considers any of the singles on "American Life" hits!
For me, I wouldn't say these are songs I dislike, just my least favorite of their hits:

Madonna-Like A Virgin
Prince-Party Man
David Bowie/Tina Turner-Tonight (for both of them...not suprisingly this doesn't appear on any Bowie comps!)
Rolling Stones-Undercover of the Night
Donna Summer-Enough is Enough (No More Tears)
Cher-Take Me Home (and I like disco and her dance stuff)
Lenny Kravitz-Lady

More to come!

Enough is Enough? One of the most horrid songs ever made by anyone, ever. Has anyone heard that 11 minute version that appeared on Donna's Greatest Hits LP? back in the day? Jesus Christ!

Lady - Garbage to begin with, made infinitely worse by that Target commercial. I loved his first four albums, tho.
