Littlebear Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 No one will convince me that "Cruel Summer" sucks more than "Obladi-Oblada" or "Give Peace a Chance" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 you know the rules ... you can't say "anything by" so and so ... gotta name the song! i would say We Didn't Start the Fire is one of the 20 worst songs ever two others came to mind "You Had a Bad Day," which I think is by Daniel Powter and "You're Beautiful," by James Blunt both suck beyond comprehension Well you picked two good ones so I would put those on my list For Celine I would pick My Heart Will Go OnMariah Carey Someday ...That scretch at the end gives me heartburn!Whitney Houston I'm Every Woman grates me!

Snap - sorry, I thought you were referring to something else (Ummville joke) there. Either way, I don't dig the tune, but I can see liking it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I love Yes's version of America, which appeared originally on the Age of Atlantic compilation. was recorded during the Close to the Edge sessions in 1972, with the anderson / squire / howe / wakeman / bruford lineup have never heard a negative word about it -- even paul simon dug it but it's cool It's on the Close to The Edge cd re-master now. They also did Every Little Thing (The Beatles) and I See You (The Byrds), on Yes (their first album). They also covered Everydays (Buffalo Springfield) on Time and A Word (their second album).

Simon May have loved it, but I thought they completely missed the point. JMO.... And would y'all please stop talking about Mariah Carey! All I can think of is here gawd awful, egotistical screeching during a group song at the 9/11 concert. I think Neil was fronting that song.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardwood floor Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 It's on the Close to The Edge cd re-master now.

I saw Yes cover I'm Down by the Beatles at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City in the summer of 1974, during the Relayer tour Howe cooked on the solo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hardwood floor Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Aerosmith did that song also - I saw Aerosmith open for Black Sabbath I think in 1976 Everybody was like ... "Who is this new band? They're pretty good." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dondoboy Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Speaking of Aerosmith, that "Don't Want To Miss A Thing" song would fit nicely on this list. Absolute dreck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H.Stone Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Since "Anything by..." is against the rules: Richard Marx--"Right Here Waiting" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andshewas Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Britney Spears - "I'm Not a Girl" I have cringed (every time!) at first cognition of this song for eight years. I wish it would disappear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a version of that from the Yesyears boxset - I think it's from RFK in '76, though. Speaking of Aerosmith, that "Don't Want To Miss A Thing" song would fit nicely on this list. Absolute dreck.Crazy or Cryin' as well. Those fuckers really went in the tank when they started 12-steppin'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a version of that from the Yesyears boxset - I think it's from RFK in '76, though.my bad of course 1974 was the Tales tour and 1976 was the relayer tour yes may be the greatest band ever Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yermom Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Everything put out by those "generock" Stain, Creed, Nickleback, etc. groups should probably dominate my "worst" list. That stuff takes itself way too seriously for how completely unoriginal and utterly boring they all are. At least pop songs are sometimes danceable (especially where booze is involved). I'm pretty open minded about music, but I can't bear the "greatest hits of modern rock" radio crap. Sadly, I have several friends who think it's totally awesome stuff and I have to burn cds for them sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 my bad of course 1974 was the Tales tour and 1976 was the relayer tour yes may be the greatest band everI know it's a matter of personal taste, but I will not argue that last statement - especially the classic lineup with Rick and Steve. As far as Rock goes, has there ever been a band with more chops? I say no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
