I truly hate Come Sail Away.
Also, where's the hate for "Horse With No Name"? Do people think of it fondly cause it was in that one episode of Breaking Bad?

i don't hear "Hey Jude" on CR radio that much anymore. "Get Back" is the scourge of my existence now.

"Horse With No Name" got some votes
― some dude, Saturday, 26 July 2014 18:14 (nine years ago) link
The Heartache Tonight worst-place is mine. So many to choose from though, I definitely had at least one other limp Eagles classic in there.
But xp I don't understand how Roadhouse Blues can be a multiple pariah. Even if you hate The Doors, that's still pure untouchable essence of rock surely? There are so many better candidates. It'd be like, I dunno - hating Zeppelin, especially Rock And Roll; or hating drinking, especially water.

Was going more by the (justifiable) hatred for HJ expressed elsewhere on ILM, but good point.

Where now stands the Sake Bar Decibel on 9th Street in NYC there used to be a karaoke bar with a live backing band. They had very thick Japanese accents that were pretty much impenetrable, with which they would sing a number of their own covers now and then but would also announce the customer selections. One of these I heard as '"Where Are You, Donna?" by Eddie Cochran' which turned out to be "Wonderful Tonight," by Eric Clapton. That is all I have to say about that song.

Aqualung-Prog is a blind spot for me, and flutes make me angry. Clarinets too.

feel like people here have generally not held the crimes of the person against their music, and in Glitter's case the crimes have kind of eclipsed whatever feelings the music generated

Also re:the Doors: I hate their collected body of work, but none of their individual CR canon songs is as bad as any of the songs on my worst list.
― intheblanks, Saturday, 26 July 2014 18:57 (nine years ago) link
If I did a top 30 worst, there might be a Doors song., but none are so egregious as to make top 10.
― intheblanks, Saturday, 26 July 2014 18:58 (nine years ago) link
btw, at the conclusion of the top 100 on Friday, i will start a ballots thread, and will encourage people to hold off on posting their ballots for the poll and subpolls until then

the song Billy Joel wrote after his bandmates convinced him that there was a hip new musical genre called "Funny Butt"

Reminiscing was right on the bubble for me. so dreadful.
― campreverb, Saturday, 26 July 2014 20:08 (nine years ago) link
Mostly for the execrable, misogynist video, which was on heavy rotation on Philadelphia's home grown video show Video Rock and was egregious even for the early 80s.

i like "old time rock n roll" a lot, it sounds more pissed off than joyous to me.
― brimstead, Saturday, 26 July 2014 20:57 (nine years ago) link
It's definitely not that joyous but I don't find the reactionary grumpiness particularly compelling, even as someone who generally prefers rock to disco: is this really what we listen to rock and roll for? More importantly, I don't feel like the obvious chug-along music makes a very strong case for rock and roll. American heartland rock is my blind spot, though. (I voted for one Springsteen song.)

All I could find was this Not liking old music doesn't make a young person stupid. Liking new music doesn't make an old person smart.

Homages to 1950s/early 1960s rock recorded in the 1970s always sound so odd to me. It makes me wonder to what extent the '70s artists were conscious of making an up-to-date, contemporary tune with a "Golden Oldies" subject matter versus sincerely trying to emulate or evoke a retro sound, because the results always sound more of the '70s than the '50s in terms of feel and sonics. Thinking of songs like "Old Time Rock & Roll," the Carpenters' "Yesterday Once More," or even straight-up covers like Linda Ronstadt's version of Buddy Holly's "It's So Easy."

"Bad to the Bone" is such shit. It comes on the radio every single car trip, and I want to die.

So glad I wasn't the only one to vote for Brown Sugar. Ugh. Cannot imagine the people for whom it is, apparently, preferable to ''Teach Your Children,'' ''Walk of Life'' and motherfucking ''Come Sail Away.'' However, the entire exercise has probably been worth it for 'Eric Claptop.'

''I Shot The Sheriff's'' drums are also, I think, sampled on King Biscuit Time's ''I Walk The Earth,'' which rides the loop for like six minutes or something without getting old. So I'll give that to ol' Claphand.
