    Haha, oh man I knew this artist sounded familiar:

    Most people I know really hate this song, but man, it grew on me and I kind of love it now.

    Same. It was on the sound track to Jet Set Radio Future and it really grew on me. There's a lot of songs on that OST that should summon up all my ire, but don't.

    No. Fuck this song.

    I love, love Jet Set Radio Future but this tune was the bane of my existence in that game.

    Ugh.

    Time to balance this out with the best song in the game:
    Yeah this doesn't fit with the thread but dammit if that isn't the worst song ever.

    So have you ever just been sitting around and thinking, "You know what would be cool? Pirate themed heavy metal".

    Unfortunately, someone's already done it.

    My sound isn't working at the moment so even if I could find a suitable Youtube video, I couldn't confirm its (lack of) quality.

    But man, "What A Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers is the worst fucking song in existence. I just Wikipedia'd it and am now even more saddened that somehow it won the Grammy for Best Song of that year, proving its worthlessness as an award even more.

    I don't know if I'd call a middle of the road german cheeze metal band "doing it perfectly right". But at least they're not bad enough to be in this list.

    And one of the guys at work for some reason picked up the latest HED PE album. Oh god, what a massive pile of suck that is. It's so much concentrated suck, I'm waiting for it to collapse in upon itself and create a massive suck singularity.

    Not sure if I can get this embedded right, but on that note of that here is a remix even harder to get out of your head.

    Cheesy as hell but the animation is neat for the video considering I don't think it was commercial. I could probably add a good chunk of my favorite tunes to this thread, I seem to like some pretty bad/cheesy tunes overall.

    And this is coming from someone who liked hedPE back in the day.

    Tila Tequila is part of that group of celebrity anomalies that occur when someone becomes popular for seemingly no apparent reason. I didn't even realize she made music. If, er, music is the right word here.

    If you are going to bring up Fergie then you must talk about how awful My Humps is. I thought it was a joke and realized it wasn't and looking for a gun.

    What are you talking about? That song is awesome!

    That video is sublime.

    and the barbie song is great. if you don't like it you may in fact just hate fun.

    Oh man I hate to even post this but I don't know how it hasn't been mentioned
    Freshman year in high school we literally could not escape this song and it made us all want to die

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlfRi1iK92s

    Seriously don't listen to it or you'll regret it but it had to be said

    EDIT: Also are those pirate rock songs supposed to sound like Boss music from a nautical-themed PS1-era castlevania game or is it just a coincidence?

    I will always and forever hate this song with the fury of a thousand burning suns. First of all, Damon Albarn just sounds so damn bitchy in this song (and not in a good way). And then there's that damn chorus you can't get out of your head. And following that, the retarded music that comes on after the chorus.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BUU7ff3ntE

    The next thing you know, it's turning into some kind of weird NAMBLA/ Kids Are People Too anthem as the lyrics get mangled in your head, "Girls who love boys who love girls who love men who love boys who love men who love girls..." Da Da DAH Da Da DAH


    And then of course this damn song that got used in every semi action oriented movie ad of the 90's.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ-f8f8knNk

    Ironically, I like Albarn in Gorillaz...

    Lead singers in rock bands don't actually need to be able to sing. Not every band is Queen, you know.

    They just need to be good-looking and/or have a strong and marketable persona.


    This band is objectively terrible, in spite of the fact that the singer is kind of hunky.

    Really? Because the guy who sits next to me at work plays it at least twice every day and I did not get that impression at all.

    I just can't stand his obnoxious "singing", which always seems to be set to a permanent 11. It's like he is trying to channel Dave Greol but forgets that even he dials it down from time to time.

    Are we talking the album or the track you linked? I haven’t listened to the latter.

    Regardless, my music commentary is always just opinion. :)

    I suppose I am unfamiliar with the name of the album, but whichever is their newest is most likely the one I hear end to end each day.

    If they were a good band at some point I can respect that, but damn.

    The Stones for me have always been hit or miss for me. This one just annoys me.

    That being said, I'd have to say that the Stones is a band I admire tremendously regardless of the fact that I think some of their music is tripe. After watching Shine a Light, I was impressed beyond belief at the raw energy this group still wields in a live performance.

    It starts off rather listenable...the little western harmonica piece isn't too bad...

    Just got to opera rap though....
