Songs you just can't get into...

I just had a thought. Are there any songs (old or new) that you just can't seem to get into? It's not that you don't "like" the song, but you just don't care for it.

For me, one recent one is "Woo" from Anthony Hamilton. I'm not a big Anthony fan, but this song is one of the weakest I've heard from him.

95% of popular music after 1990.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

"Purple Rain."

It's schmaltzy, boring and ruins an almost perfect album.

And I don't give a fuck about you or Towel calling me a stan: as long as you both realize

that without the Beatles, 99% of the pop music you listen to would not exist today, I'm

fine with you not digging their music.

It ain't for retards.

I was fine with your post until you said "retards" that is a very offensive and ignorant term. There's no doubt that the Beatles contributed a lot popular music. I REALIZE THAT. But guess what, I don't have to like them. And you shouldn't feel offended that I don't like them. That's what's wrong with the world today, people get pissed when others disagree with them. It's my fucking life, and I have the right to dislike some boring ass British pop band from 50 years ago. Get the fuck over it you pressed stan.

UM...boo, no.

IF there wasn't a Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Little Richard etc, there wouldn't be a Prince. ....and for the record, I never called you any names, so....

I might be out of school, but I haven't forgotten how to read.

I can't get into some artists' full catalogs of the following:

Bob Dylan (I can take his '60s - and some of his '70s material - but anything past that? Nah)

The Beatles (I can only stomach a few songs like "Helter Skelter" but their music was never really my cup of tea either)

As for songs?

Some of Stevie's '60s, '80s, '90s and current-day material is too hard to digest especially "I Just Called to Say I Love You".

Lionel Richie after 1986 though "Don't Wanna Lose You" was his finest '90s record. ("Dancing on the Ceiling" is still an embarassment 25 years on)

"We Are the World" (never was a big fan of the original, hated the remake, respect the message but still)

Dionne's "Heartbreaker" lol (her best work will always be with Bacharch and David)

LOL!

Relax dude, I was fucking with you - I posted my response because you pre-empted

yours by saying "I don't like the Beatles - here comes the stans" as if anyone who

disagreed with you was already "wrong" because they were a "stan." That's a bull-

shit argument!

Did you not read the part where I said "I'm fine with you not digging their music"?

I'm horrified that someone would think that of me. Actually, I don't care

what is thought about me but I'm not that guy.

Ain't my style to participate in a flame war: I was joking with them because

of the stan remark.

You mean songs that are really popular that everybody and their mama seems to love but me?

Janet Jackson, Together Again. The lyrics, yes. The way it was done. No.

Soulja Boy, Crank That. Do I really need to explain why?

Ginuwine, Differences. I just don't like it. It was a big hit for him but it didn't do anything for me for some reason.

Basically anything by Forehead. Except Umbrella and maybe Don't Stop The Music but 90% because of the Michael Jackson sample.

Usher, OMG. This isn't Usher to me. This Dance-Pop shit with him needs to end.

Lady Gaga, Pokerface. I still don't understand. Paparazzi is much better and didn't get as much hype.

Anything by Flo Rida.

Beyonce, Single Ladies. I thought it was absolute shit when I first heard it. The video, as everyone knows, made the song what it was.

Justin Timberlake, SexyBack. What a shitty song.

Gwen Stefani, HollaBack Girl. My dad said he thought this was a joke when he first heard it. Like it was a little dumb jingle for a commercial or something. He goes, "This shit is a real song?" falloff

Will Smith, Gettin' Jiggy Wit It. What a corny ass song. But hey it came from a corny ass person.

The entire Grateful Dead! ugh i tried but i find them to be boring stoner music lol and yes i tried listening to there greatest hits & 2 of there albums... just did nothing for me.

Michael Jackson, i love Off The Wall, Like a good amount of Thrilelr & a good amount of Bad. Dangerous bores me confused & Invincible neutral either way just could never really get into him that much.

I Just Called To Say I Love You- Stevie is my 2nd favorite artist of all time.. but agree with Timmy! this song is lol

A lot of R. Kelly singles like I'm A Flirt, Religion, Gotham City neutral mad shoot3 uzi

Oh & any Nickelback song lol

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen
