it's not, someone mentioned it earlier. I don't think it's the best pick - my understanding of the thread is we're picking songs that *actually still get played* despite the fact that they're terrible. Dogs was utterly ubiquitous a couple of years back, but I haven't heard it since then.

you obviously don't frequent roller skating rinks or arena football games, then.

fenster: you're right, I don't - in which case I defer to your knowledge and retract the point. In the alternate universe in which a version of me frequents such events, consider him to have voted for Dogs as well.

You hit a nerve... on Item #1... Freddie Mercury was incredible... one of the best lead singers ever. Incredible vocal range. Incredible sense of Rhythm, melody and harmony. Brian May is a guitar god IMHO... One of the most unique Vox overdrive tones in rock guitar history.

Celebration by Kool and the Gang.

It's not even that bad of a song but after hearing it at every wedding, bar mitzvah, christening, sweet sixteen and bagel store opening, I can't stand it. I told the dj at my wedding that if he played Celebration he could kiss his tip goodbye.

"Pass the Duche on the Left Hand Side" or something like that from Menudo. I remember hearing it over and over in the 80s and I'm still traumatized.

Well, if we're talking about recent stuff, or songs you still hear regularly:

Hey Ya
Roses (or Caroline or whatever that POS is called)

Whoever came up with the idea that Outkast are the most talented musicians blah blah blah never actually listened to the "music." And the best part is all of the people who go around spouting that same line who wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the ass.

And Beyonce too, and all the wanna-bes that try to copy her. Not that singing the same line 90 times in 3 minutes over top of one looping electronic beat and some backup echo singers is all that tough to copy...

I guess what I'd really like to know is when the determining factor of what makes music "good" or popular became what the "artists" do when they aren't making "music" instead of the music itself.

The Titanic song... Wait, for that matter any Celine Dion song.

All songs from Britney Spears, N-Sync, Backstreet boys, etc...

Enter the Sandman- Metallica

I am going to be a very poor man.

jayg: well you can probably tell from my other posts around here that neither beyonce nor outkast fit in my usual style of music, but I liked Hey Ya a lot and I think Beyonce's an excellent singer who's great when she's given strong material...much like Madonna.
