      I absolutely love the chemical Brothers but I kinda agree with you on this. It’s their worst song by far and the only song of theirs I actively dislike

      This is me these days, which is crazy because I used to love them for a long time. But, you know, I was like 10.

      I may be biased because I grew up to enjoy playing drums quite a bit, but Lars Ulrich is such a disappointment.

        Yeah, after I started listening to Megadeth, the lyricism was all Metallica had left.

        I should add that I do prefer the juxtaposition of Dave’s somewhat goofy vocals over some of the hardest riffs ever than any time Metallica has tried to be serious since the 80s.

            I remember when I first got into Megadeth, I read a comment that said, “I showed this to my grandma and she asked who told that poor lady she could sing.”

            Still love Megadeth though.

        I don’t think Lars Ulrich is the best drummer in the world. In fact, I don’t even think he’s the best drummer in Metallica.

    Anything by an artist that turned out to be a pedo, RHCP, aerosmith, etc. It makes me sick knowing they’re still making royalties and not facing consequences.

        I’ve reached the point where I don’t want to know anything about musical artists. I don’t want to see what they look like, I don’t want to know about their personal lives. Just play me the music and I will judge it on sound alone, because once you learn anything about them non-musically, most of the biggest stars are godawful people.

    Here’s a song that doesn’t make me angry, it makes me disappointed.

    Bad for Good by Meat Loaf.

    Why does it make me disappointed? I’m a certified Meat Loaf/Jim Steinman enjoyer, I’ve never tried to deny it. Jim Steinman wrote this song for Meat Loaf originally, but since Meat was going through some stuff, Jim released an album of his own with his version of the song. Now Jim, bless his heart, doesn’t have the voice to carry it, but the tune is one the best he’s written in my book. So the eventual Meat Loaf version should have been a banger. But compare the last 90s of Meat Loaf’s version to Steinman’s. Meat Loaf is singing it with barely any passion (by his standards). The removed the electric guitar wailing in the background (the best part of the song). Even the choir doesn’t seem as into it. The whole thing just seems like it’s had the joy sapped from it.

    This is in stark contrast to Out of the Frying Pan (Jim, Meat) where everything in the Meat Loaf version is just more and I just god damned love that song.

    Thank you for listening for to my TedX talk.

      I would 100% listen to a Ted talk about Jim Steinman compositions and comparing versions. It’s pretty incredible that Meatloaf only released Bat 1 and Bat 2 and no other music, because those sure were bangers. (Yeah. I know.)

    I absolutely dislike imagine dragons, but their song cutthroat is criminally bad. It sounds like a joke or a lost bet.

      I’ve always had this really stupid joke (do not steal) that they only thought that was a good name for a band because they all have aphantasia.

      My pick is Thunder by Imagine Dragons.

      The chorus is:

      “Thunder” “Feel the thunder” “Lightning and thunder”

      I don’t think an LLM could generate more generic and less inspired lyrics.

      when lyrics were added.

      WTF.

      I love an instrumental piece. Mammagamma (Alan Parsons Project) is probably my favorite, and I do quite like Childten. But lyrics? WTF.

        Sorry for the incredibly late reply, but yeah.

        It’s called the “Message Version,” and it sounds like it wouldn’t be out of place as the credit roll for a shite remake of The Neverending Story. (lyrics)

        (if you have a mighty need to regret something later: Invidious / YouTube)

    “Praise You Like I Should” by Fatboy Slim. I don’t like any of his music, but that’s the one I have to turn off. A single sustained tone is not music, Slim. It’s an equipment malfunction.

      This is the most interesting answer imo. What music do you like? Do you hate all electronic music? Especially the more musically interesting electronic music? How do you feel about aphex twin or the chemical Brothers, or flume?

    Newsong -The Christmas shoes. In the “let’s make a sad song with a happy tune” this is a Debbie downer sure to sour the mood, complete with the “little kids sing a verse.” Let’s put the cherry on the cake and give it excessive radio play, especially during the holiday.
