Blur. They have put out some great songs but I can't
stand Song 2.


They had other songs?

They're actually a fantastic band - Damon Albarn is a genius. They have tons of great songs, but I also love Song 2 still.
The Gorillaz are better

Fountains of Wayne - 'Stacy's Mom'

A lot of people have heard 'All Kinds of Time' and may not even know it's by the same band.

Stacy's Mom is an absolute banger of a pop song though...

Wonderwall is one of the lamer more boring Oasis songs IMO. It's always perplexed me how it became their biggest hit. I think the rest of the What's the Story Morning Glory album and Definitely Maybe before it are better pretty much across the board.


Even the band doesn't care for this song.

I think what often happens is the hits get way overplayed so you grow tired of them.


I feel like this was especially true looking back at the times when you were more dependent on radio than we have become since .mp3s became a thing, when radio stations would just beat hit songs to death. Haven't heard it in the past 15 minutes? Well you're in luck because we're about to play it for the thousandth time today!

Yeah, it's less that I hate that song in particular than I think it's not at all like the rest of their music.

LMAOOOOO. Came in here specifically to do this. All these songs are trash:

"Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy Division
"How Soon is Now?" - The Smiths
"Where is my Mind? - Pixies
"Wake Up" - Arcade Fire
"Get Lucky" - Daft Punk
"If I Ruled the World" - Nas
"The Light" - Common

I like "Somebody that I Used to Know" but Gotye has some great songs, and unfortunately this is the only one that anyone has heard.

People have told me that he made a few albums after Hot Water. It is strange what people lie about

I wouldn't say I hate it, but the Eagles' Hotel California has never done much for me but for the most part love the group.

I take issue with these 3. Those are great songs.

It's overplayed. Same thing with Freebird...I tend to skip it.

Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus

I wouldn't call it there signature song but it is the one that's been covered the most. It's not a terrible song but many, many, many other songs which are better. I can name 5 or 6 from Violator alone.

Stairway is interesting. It definitely was my intro to LZ and it got tiring and phased out of my normal classic rock listening. So now when I do hear it, I enjoy the hell out of it.

I don't think it's their signature song, but I Don't Want to Miss a Thing is Aerosmith's biggest hit. That song is awful.
It doesn't really sound like them, Kenny Loggins could have done it just fine.

I hate it because I has an @sshole neighbor in the dorm that would play that and "Bittersweet Symphony" about a dozen times a day and virtually nothing else.

Third Eye Blind

Can't stand Semi-Charmed. Worst song on the album.
The little "rap" he does in that song is one of the worst violations of human ears I have ever heard.
I have a weakness in me for any song that tries to pass off meaningless sounds as lyrics:

Doo, doo doo, doo do doo doo
Na Na Na Nah Nah
Hey Hey Hey

etc.
I made a mix tapes of songs with good "na na nas." Sometimes that's the only thing that can put a smile on my face after a rough day.
Life's an endless party, not a punch card.

i feel like this is the only leppard song 90% of the populace knows, which is sad cause they are arguably the best 80s band

Really? They have 6 #1 hits, and that isn't even one of them.

There is probably literally no one that only knows that song.

What are their six #1 hits? Tried to Google it and I am getting some funky results. One Billboard link says a song called Stand Up (Kick Love Into Motion) was a #1 hit as of 1/8/93 but I've never heard of that song before. And while they have multiple songs that were popular and maybe even charted higher but none is more associated with them than Sugar. I bet there are TONS of people that don't know any Def Lep other than that song. Probably tens of thousands of strippers alone.

did you even go to college? every frat party i went to, bar i went to, house party i went to was playing pour some sugar on me. its basically the preppy equivalent of "sweet home alabama". that coyote ugly movie in 2001 made def leppard so much money off that one song
