10 Songs I Hate 5-1

kevin — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 10:27:08 +0000

#5 Bryan Adams – Everything I Do For You. This song would have been alright, cheesy but alright, except for a bad case of timing. The movie Robin Hood to which this was a theme song came out the Summer I was driving up and down the East Coast with some buddies. Since this song was #1 for like 18 weeks, it was on every radio station, every other song. I’m still scarred almost 20 years later.

#4 Billy Ray Cyrus – Achy Breaky Heart. The song that single handedly made me hate Country music for years. His offspring now make shit music between Miley Cyrus and his son being the lead singer of Metro Station. This song is so horrid Youtube will not allow embedding so use this link to experience the sheer horror: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EebObs-vC0

#3 Los Del Rio – Macarena. I don’t hate the original duo, I want the DJ’s who mixed this into a hit to DIAF. When old people are hip to a dance…just no.

#2 OMC – How Bizarre. I can’t explain my hatred for this song…it is unreasonable. However this song just irritated the piss out of me and still does. How Bizarre.

#1 Blind Melon – No Rain. This video had it all…if be all you mean shitty, hippy music and the fat kid in the bee outfit just made me want to punch myself in the face repeatedly. Between writing a song this terrible and the insipid video to match is it any wonder that the lead singer died of a Heroin overdose. Anyone surprise? If so raise your hand (and be shot).

10 Songs I Hate

kevin — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:39:46 +0000

Generally I try and post music that I’m listening to that I enjoy. Today I feel the need to write about ten of the worst songs, in my personal opinion, ever!

Here we go 10 – 6!

#10 Rednex – Cotton Eye Joe. A small note…my friend Tim actually bought this CD when we were in college. For shame!

#9 Hammer – Pumps and a Bump. Due to Hammer’s choice of wardrobe, this may be one of the most obscene videos ever.

#8 Bobby McFerrin – Don’t Worry be Happy!. This song has always annoyed the bejeezus out of me!

#7 Celine Dion – My Heart Will Go On. Never seen the music, heard the song a billion times because of it…probably the most hated music song ever…runner up is in my top 5.

#6 Nsync – Drive Myself Crazy. Makes me want to punch myself in the face…repeatedly.

Man Man – Harpoon Fever

Holy Shit Awesome Band

kevin — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 06:24:32 +0000

I love browsing sites like myspace and imeem for new music but I stumbled across this group on one of my favorite, absolutely, out of control sites on the internet…Genmay.

You gotta love a group of guys who rock the fuck out in some crazy, rock, electronic mess dressed up in ridiculous costumes. It is almost like a white, hard rock version of some Afrikaa Bambaataa.

If you don’t like this you aren’t my friend (and are a Grade A Pussy!) =P

Freddie Mercury Tribute

kevin — Sun, 11 May 2008 03:45:03 +0000

So Queen is one of my favorite bands of all time and I vaguely remember a Freddie Mercury Tribute concert at Wembley Stadium in England. Out of the blue I decided to watch some of it tonight on You Tube. I’m amazed that…wow…get close to twenty years later…the electricity of the crowd at that concert…you can still feel it. The passion just makes your skin crawl…in the good way. Favorite parts of the event include Annie Lennox and David Bowie teaming up on Under Pressure and Sir Elton John and Axl Rose sharing a version of Bohemian Rhapsody.
