Standards-U-Hate.

[andy-hughes]

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.

I have always hated Hotel California by the Eagles.

Ruby Ruby Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs - I can`t bear it and have to rush to the radio to turn it off.

237SJ - //Ruby Ruby Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs - I can`t bear it and have to rush to the radio to turn it off. //

With you on that one, and the rest of their seriously average output.

Yesterday by anybody and the two that Paul McCartney always trots out - Let it Be and Hey Jude. Don't get me wrong I like the Beatles, but just bored witless by these.

I like Whitneys version andy ... I suppose the film makes the song special. At least the lyrics are good.A song with unhealthy lyrics I have never forgotten .. http://www.metrolyrics.com/youre-having-my-baby-lyrics-paul-anka.html

[Elina]

Unhealthy? ... Should have read cringe worthy.

Anything put out by the perma-grinning Martie and his mates has that effect on me.

Fairground, Simply Red. Hate as much now as I ever did

[granny grump]
