What I really hate about some music


When I listen to music, there are four things that I really bothers me and was wondering if there are others who feel the same way about songs just as strongly as I do. I don't like feeling this way but when I hear these things, I just want to turn the music off and I'm not sure why the song writer doesn't realize he probably has a dud and not a hit. Here they are:

1. When a song writer finds a catchy phrase and the singer repeats the line three times in a row and then a stanza later, here it comes again repeated all three times and this just keeps going on and on.

2. Very similar to the above, a writer writes a real good line of music and then makes the whole song a repeat or variation of this line of music and has no imagination to add a little something in-between.

3. Singers who can't really sing well and think they can but get such really great score of music behind them that if a really good singer sang the song it would be wonderful to listen to. Please understand that carrying a tune to me doesn't make a good singer and I'm not talking about karoke singers here either.

4. Rhyming in a melody.... Please you can predict what the next line of the song is going to be before it is sang because it rhymes with the last line just sang...

Anybody using "autotune" as an intentional effect....I like the jamband Goose, but they need to lay off of it. They don't need it. 

@moonwatcher Uh, man, amen.

I’ll raise ya with a ANY USE OF AUTOTUNE.

It’s never once made anything better, only demonstrably worse.

As I get older, I am much more selective of my music If something annoys me, I eliminate it ,and move on to something else. Simple solution,no more complaints.

i wonder what people here think of the song "ain't no sunshine" where he repeats "i know" something like 26 times? in my copy i edited that down substantially.

@emrofsemanon I find that track tedious as all hell.

I wouldn’t hold the “I knows” necessarily responsible, though.

I just didn’t find it a remotely interesting or satisfying song the first time, let alone the 756,921st time.  The fact that every no-talent hack on Earth seems to cover it with the same ubiquity as it’s presence on FM radio for 50 years doesn’t help, either.
