I’m answering with songs that I didn’t like and never liked even after 100s of times hearing them on the radio. Despite hating them, I know every note because they were completely unavoidable for a long time. These all date to the 1990s or before because radio died and streaming/MP3s took over. People can now find what they want and avoid stuff they hate.
Phil Collins Susidio
The Prince falsetto version of Kiss
Bette Midler Wind Beneath My Jeans
And the all time loser because it destroyed vocals forever after:
My wife was a professional ballerina and has run ballet schools for the last 15 years. My daughter followed her into it and danced nearly every role in everyone’s “favorite” seasonal story ballet.
Now when I was a freshman, that album was most likely to be melted into an ashtray. There were at least 5 Iron Butterfly In-A-Gadda ashtrays on our floor. If someone actually tried to PLAY the damn thing, it would likely be removed, possibly with a tonearm and platter, in a violent (for potheads) maneuver, and start being heated and formed.
OMG, how could I forget that. I’d write Bananaphone on actual Bananas. And used it as a ringtone - mostly on other people’s phones before there was security.
I survived reading this whole thread until I got to this, and now I can’t get this ####ing song out of my head. It took me a decade to wipe all Stock Aitken Waterman songs from my memory by locking them away in a deep deep dungeon, and with one post, you’ve let them all out again.
No, no, no, please god no, make it stop, please, please, please.
I’m curled up, sitting in the corner, hugging myself, rocking back and forth, whimpering, muttering gibberish, needing a straitjacket and once again suffering this:
If I had to surmise who would create this topic without having seen the original post, I think I would have placed $$$ on it being @pennstac. Im not as aghast at it though.
I am considering posting my most brain bleeding songs but this tradition of posting links to them would mean I would actually possibly maybe have to listen to them voluntarily. It’s a conumdrum.
There’s a signed photo of Vanilla Ice in a great, old pizza joint here in NYC. I always crack up when I see it.
I was going to post Ace of Base but you beat me to it. Staying in Sweden we could probably fill up this thread with ABBA. Here’s an alternative to Ace of Base, albeit from England:
After this next post, I’ll stop polluting this thread
Yeah, some of these are just one-hit-wonders that had their day, and are still okay in my book. But, I don’t want to risk playing anything I haven’t heard already.
I feel like so many SunnyFM Classics fit this. I’ll let someone else link Christopher Cross or Shine Sweet Freedom shine your light on me. I think Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot is a good enough song not to post here.
