Standards-U-Hate.

A song becomes a 'standard' because it is popular and therefore heard often.
I am even more opinionated about music than anything else in life (hard to believe I know!) and there are some hugely popular songs that I absolutely can't abide.
Two spring to mind - Baker Street, which was just on the radio, and I have always loathed, and Whitney Houston's version of 'I Will Always Love Yahoo'.
Over to you.

Have a chance to tell Lionel Ritchie what I think of his tune 'Hello' as I'm up at Glastonbury from Friday afternoon, and he's performing on Sunday.
I like him a lot and when he was in The Commodores, but 'Hello' is just plain awful.
I'll borrow Lemmy from Motorhead at the point he sings it and boo a bit.
Shaddup'ya face.... Joe Dolce is another pointless tune...and the fact that tripe kept Ultravox off No 1 with the classic and classy Vienna was annoying in the extreme.....grrrrrr

That Whitney Houston song, which I can't even bring myself to name ... absolutely loathe it with a passion, but Baker Street ... absolutely love it - what I would call a real 'game-changer' in the pop world when it was released. Hate Hotel California, VHG? How could you? There's clearly no accounting for taste! Because hated songs tend to stick in the mind as earworms, I find I have to try very hard to forget them, but having succeeded I find I cannot now think of any others to name! However (sorry, Mr Gove), two songs that have been suggested, as objectively as it's possible to be, as candidates for 'best pop song ever' - not just by me - are Dancing Queen and Bridge Over Troubled Water.
