i listen to all kinds of music. classical, jazz, rock, rap, techno, country, you name it. if it's something i've never heard of before, i'm willing to give it a try. i'm always open to suggestions, and i used to have a massive collection of all kinds of music on my computer (before i had to reformat it to get rid of a massive collection of viruses that happened to accumlate on my laptop). the radio ain't too bad either. if i'm in someone's car i don't mind listening to whatever they play. of course, there are certain kinds of music i don't enjoy hearing but i'm willing to put up with it, since it should last less than 5 minutes. i'm always fascinated what kind of person would like what type of music. yes, music is really...well, music to my ears.
i could write a whole blog entry of my favorite bands, songs, or pieces are if only 1. i knew exactly which ones i could think of at the top of my head and 2. choosing favorites into a short list wasn't so difficult. and since i'm lazy to come up with such a list, i have here instead a list of the top 5 songs...that i absolutely wish to never hear again, because they are simply, for whatever reason, the worst songs i have ever heard...as of now.
i realize that most of these songs are actually quite popular right now, so before i continue i have to clear up that i did not pick these songs because i've heard it so many times and that it almost caused me cancer. also, many thanks to the people who helped me figure out what the songs appropriate title and artist. and now, another exciting entry by yours truly, i present HITMANERIC'S LIST OF SONGS HE WISHES HE CAN SHOOT IN THE FACE MULTIPLE TIMES (otherwise known as a music "hit" list ahaha get it??)
5. Bad Day - Daniel Powter
this song is rather catchy and nice to listen to...only for the first 20 times. by far one of the most overplayed songs on the radio, it can get repetitive rather quickly. the singer is not even that good, the music in the background is decent, and the lyrics don't make any sense. at first i'm sure the song was directed towards the listener, with all the "you's" and "yours" and "having a bad day", but at the very last part he sings And I don't need no carryin' on. well first, everytime i hear this part i just get mighty confused on what exactly he means by that. he doesn't need no carryin' on? but i thought you were singing to me! or whoever you wrote the song to. i would've changed the lyrics just a bit to...But YOU don't need no carryin' on. i think it would make a lot more sense. ok maybe i'm "overreacting" but i still think the song is stupid.
4. London Bridge - Fergie
i actually discovered this song on youtube, and i was like "wow, a song by the black eyed peas hot female singer? that's hot." even if the video was kind of blurry, i could still see fergie's seductive dancing moves on a british guard, the ones with the red suit, rifles at the side, and a tall afro looking hat thing. unfortunately, her song was just really retarded. it kind of resembed gwen stefani's "holla back girl" song where she's just yelling the whole time and takes a break by making seductive sighs. so yea, fergie is just yell-singing the whole time. and the lyrics? wow...really dumb. fergie if you are reading this, please don't sell out like gwen stefani did to no doubt, stay with the black eyed peas! stay and make entertaining songs, not the crap you just did.
3. SexyBack - Justin Timberlake
originally i had "i write sins not tradegies" by panic! from the disco as number 3, but then i heard this song a few times on the radio, and it is really retarded. (if you read this entry when it was originally published, then i guess you were lucky enough to read my review on it...?) anyways, everytime sexyback finishes playing on the radio i have a big "wtf?!" floating above my head, because really it's completely random. not random as in "oh yea that's pretty cool and musically nice", random as in "wow...that was just really stupid". though it seems like the type of song to play at a large party (with alcohol of course), it has no sense of musicality and probably a really bad song to dance/grind/get yo groove on too. the radio station also had a brief interview with someone on why this song was in this style (whatever that style is...probably crap), and the guy replied that it was to "introduce the new timberlake and prepare for what is coming up" or something like that. um...i really don't like the idea of that, it would be better if justin were to give up the music business forever. pop music just seems to get worse and worse, and this is definitely one example of how much it sucks.
2. Everytime We Touch - Cascada
two words to describe this song: really obnoxious. for most techno songs, it is required to have a heavy continuous bass accompanied by a female vocalist and random synthesized instruments. this song manages to take it too a whole new level. i managed to have a spitting headache everytime the song is finished. for a techno song, there is way too much singing, and of course it is too repetitive. i think the song is talking about how much she is in love with another person, and that's always just lame. then again, i really can't tell because the voice is trying to sing louder than the bass, and so it just becomes...loud. if only they had really interesting background music, but too bad it's nonexistent. you can't hear it cause there's a loud BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.
and finally, the worst song is...
1. You're Beautiful - James Blunt
such a nice title, for an otherwise completely dumb song. i can find at least a few reasons to like the other 4 songs, but everything about this one just screams terrible. the singing (too highpitched, off-key, inconsistent, inexperienced), the lyrics (lame, cheesy, like a 4th grade valentine's day poem), the music (a guitar that just strums along, and...wait are there any other instruments?), and the overall quality (bad). this is exactly the type of song you picture kids who are sitting in the middle of a empty hallway with their guitar, strumming away, with singing talent that can raise the dead and release the fire alarm. everytime i hear this song i really, really resist the urge to bang my head against the nearest hard object. so instead i close my eyes and try to blast it out with anything, even loud BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOMs or fergie dancing. i think james here was seriously "f---ing high" when he made this song. really, why is this song so popular? it's complete crap.
well, that's that the 5 worst songs ever. if you have a list of 5 really terrible songs, leave a comment so i can avoid it. or if one of these 5 songs happen to be your favorite, you can try to defend it also. i will just shake my head and try not to make weird faces everytime i talk to you.
goodnight kids!

That Panic! at the Disco record is great. Go buy it.
man, it must've sucked to hear "your beautiful" when you roomed with andrew, lol. i remember there was a time where the whole week i heard that song everytime i came into your room.
lol. most songs in this age, are quite stupid and talk about things that are pretty stupid. and yeah the radio kills songs, like its their job. anyways, 5 worst songs of all time? no. 5 most annoying songs of the year? its what people do when they like a song. they listen to it. but anyways sorry for being like a radio n playing that shit all day. lol. but every year. there will always be a top 5 new annoying song that the radio plays over n over n over n over. =p
Most radio stations are evil. Oldies stations are the only exception because given enough time, killed songs can come back to life.
The only way to survive in the world of MTV and Billboard hits is to develop music elitism and find awesome independent bands that NO ONE has ever heard of. It's important that you adopt the artist rather than any particular song, or you risk converting their songs into overplayed pieces of crap.
As for the rest of the mainstream stuff, you can casually listen to it when forced to. It'll all blend in together anyways. I mean, really, how important is it to you to know who sings whatever piece of crap that the brainless masses listen to next?
Music Elitism: Putting radio aficionados to shame since "The Top Ten at Ten"
I'd have to toss in Nelly Furtado's Promiscuous and basically every Sean Paul song conceivable - past, present and future. The man unintelligible. Panic was tolerable, that is, initially until everyone jumped on the bandwagon of the Fallout Boy sound-a-like.
