Yeah I'd pretty much agree all of those suck pretty badly...

....I appreciate it bro, and I would agree that your brain is and shall always be-tapioca pudding.....
Anything by Jay-Z. His rap style irritates me.

That's no s hite...lol
These two books are full of annoying songs (and some not really that bad). I find myself re-reading them on a yearly basis and laughing every time:
Most rap and hiphop numbers irritate me. I'm oldfashioned i know..... Don't judge me too hard.
We've missed this great one (until now)
Having My Baby - Paul Anka

'Sexyback' by Justin Timberlake.
The voice effects, it being totally overplayed in its day, etc... Ugh. Can't stand it.

Do people actually listen to the two Justins?? I always mix them up and cant name a song from either. So they dont irritate me. To do that they would have to have an influence with me which they don't.
Bubblegum. If you don't get the reference, don't ask, and your life will be better for it.
A lot of relatively insipid stuff doesn't really offend me. I mean, if there's an insipid song that nevertheless gets millions of people humming to it and tapping their toes, who am I to judge? They have spoken to more people than I ever will.
DiO'Bolic mentioned Clapton's "I shot the sheriff." To that I'll add, from Clapton's Cream days, "I'm So Glad."
The sexy-sleazy stuff. Yeah, that's not pinning it down much. But as an example, Rod Stewart singing, "Spread your wings, and let me come inside," I mean...... REALLY????
Counterpoint: Gracious Host's band member and great writer Dave Barry once wrote disparagingly, along with apparently millions of Americans, about Richard Harris singing(?) "McArthur Park." Call me a Philistine, and I'll accept the title, but I do like that song.
"Elusive Butterfly of Love," however, you can take out and burn.

It was okay the first couple of times. By the tenth repetition I started getting annoyed, and somewhere around forty or so, I began to think rupturing my eardrums with a meat thermometer wouldn't be so bad!
My kids are currently annoying me with this bit of....I cringe to call it music.
I think a lot of songs aren't that annoying, they just get played too often. A pop song in itself is already repetition - that's the idea behind it: to get it firmly in your head so you'll go buy it. It's verse-chorus-verse-chorus etc.
And then that gets played over and over on radio and tv.
It's also remarkable that some voices which should be annoying work perfectly within the music. Voices like Frank Black or David Byrne should be highly annoying (ok, I'm sure some people hate them), but within their music they fit exactly. When you don't have their voices in it, the music doesn't work as well - can't think of really memorable Pixies or Talking Heads covers by others. Bowie does Pixies' 'Cactus' (it's on the Heathen album), but it's not as good as the original.

OK,yeah. But there are only two types of people in the world. Those who like Neil Diamond and those who don't.
Blasphemy, a definite blasphemy.
Sweet Caroline has been ruining Red Sox games since the 90's....
