I've always had trouble understanding why "Wishing Well" is supposed to be his "signature song", or something. I think it was just released as a single at the time when the album was big and that's why it charted so high in so many places. "Sign Your Name" is the real pop classic from the record, but it's "Wishing Well" that ends up on all those "hits from the 80s" compilations and playlists.
"Creep" is one of the reasons why songwriting in the 1990s went to hell. Ballad-like verses and power pop verses with guitar walls is pretty much the cheapest combo I can think of. What's worst, people still thank that's cool. Radiohead themselves had the decency not to attempt to rewrite "Creep", but there are thousands of bands that certainly have done that. | |

Well no place to better to start than with MARIAH, i love her but the last decade plus has all been cringe worthy, from the albums to the singles MAINLY
Shake It Off- i pretty much hate most of the singles from MIMI, terribly OVERRATED album Touch my Body- does she really want her name on these songs for writing them? Obsessed- lousy song
i know im missing some others but these are god awful tracks "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

I think it is mor eof the fact it was his one & only number 1 hit. So chart wise it's his biggest hit & is why it probably(And sadly ) Get's so much replay. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Oh shit how can i forget my favorite band of all time a-ha, this song even the writer of it Paul Wakktaar Savoy hated it, they basically have never played the song live though it was a huge worldwide hit for them except for the USA but top 10 uk etc....
"Touchy" from their third album 1988's "Stay on these Roads" this song is so poppy i understand why the next album they threw away all the keyboards, basically Paul said it was written to be a pop hit
And then another great band REM "shiny happy people" good lord i hate this song and so does the band, its almost never on collections

yeah trust me the guys in a-ha mainly Paul who wrote it, hates that track, he talks quite candidly in the book about their recordings of their music all through the years, and he despises that track. Though the 80's for a-ha mainly 85-88 was when they were pretty much turning out straight UK top 10's i find that the stuff they did from 2000-2010 was their best work.
As for REM "shiny" is like a joke song to me, i cant believe that a group that did "orange crush" or "radio free europe" wrote a shitty song like this, and it was a top 10 hit, though i gotta admit STAND is just as horrific
