Sorry, Bette Midler—Apple spellcheck even works on proper names.

Bette Miller—Wind Beneath my Wings—Hands Down! Also, that song Whitney Houston horked off Dolly Parton... Remember the Original rule...no one has a better version than the original...thinking Hank Williams, Leonard Cohen, Lennon/McCartney, Bob Dylan...although TBH, Cash, GD, and Fairport don’t do bad Dylan covers... |
"My Charona"! I don’t even want to remember the name of that band. That one made me want to give up listening to the radio. Also, "Take it to the Limit" by the Eagles. God, did they take that to the limit of my my patience. I very much agree with the Yoko comments. What was that? I guess you have to chalk that up to "opposites attract".I agree with most of these posts--very funny. |
Joy to the World by Three Dog Night. Voted #1 for the year at WLS Chicago and it was the worst song on the album. The only good thing about it was it ruined Top 40 for me. Eventually became a Deadhead. The Beatles B.S. where they were definitely laughing at us.Muskrat Love by America. What a way to destroy a "Best of" cd. |
Noooooooo is right, what an awful song by a wonderful singer. I met Maria a few times, she has a great sense of humor, and this album is superb https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07KK2T1HZ?tag=amz-mkt-chr-us-20&ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-a0047-win10-other-smile-us000-pcomp-feature-scomp-wm-5&ref=aa_scomp_srdg2 |
I was out of country when the original came out and not in a place where you would ever hear any American music. I didn't hear it until around 1979 so i was never exposed to the overplay. Not my favorite Eagles song but the extended intro with Walsh and Felder on the Hell Freezes over version is the reason i listen to it when i do. |
3:51pmI know what you mean--i was stunned to see the Live version of Hotel California listed--then i wondered which live version? Surely it can't be the one on Hell Freezes Over--i use that one to demo speakers ! If it is the one he/she's talking about--well, to each his own... Yes wyoboy, that's the version. I don't know how old you are, but when the original album came out, that song was played way to often on FM radio. Then the band reformed, and we got that new version which was just about a letter perfect copy of the first. Sometimes a song is played so many times that you can never enjoy it again. For me, it doesn't happen with really good songs, but I don't think Hotel California was ever that good. |
Oh holy cow - you guys have come up with so many of my least favorites - well done! I may have overlooked these two, so forgive me if I'm duplicating... The Carpenters - We've only just begun *cringe* (sorry, Karen C.) ...and...oh good Lord...I almost can't make myself type this one... Maria Muldaur - Midnight at the Oasis....NOOOOOOOOO!!! |
Anything by Gino Vannelli. If you’ve never heard him, consider yourself fortunate. He took pretentiousness and affected vocals to new heights in the 1970’s. Listening to his music can actually make me want to throw a cannoli at my speakers!. As far as the worst song that was ever a big hit, my vote goes to Having My Baby by Paul Anka. Some of the other most hated songs on this thread such as Macarena and Achy Breaky Heart suffered more from the resentment caused by their overexposure since those songs played endlessly everywhere you would go for months on end and it drove people nervous (as Alice Copper said). |
I’ve got my mind set mind you - George Harrison. The most banal lyrics plus he repeats the title 24 times. This always catapults me out of the chair to change stations.Also, unfortunately, any Adel song, as was trapped for two months in an office where this looped constantly every 90 minutes, and I started a fan and resigned to get away from it. Now her music seems to me to be her moaning all the time about lost love. |
