i interrupt this post to say....i just hit my 666 post...so here's a song that i shouldn't love, but i do...i really do.

MOTLEY CRUE
SHOUT AT THE DEVIL

He's the wolf screaming lonely in the night
He's the blood stain on the stage
He's the tear in your eye
Been tempted by his lie
He's the knife In your back
He's rage
He's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My heads spinnin' round and round
But in the seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and

Chorus:
Shout-shout-shout
Shout at the devi He'll be the love in your eyes
He'll be the blood between your thighs

And then have you Cry for more
He'll put strength to the test
He'll put the thrill back in bed
Sure you've heard it all before
He'll be the risk in the kiss
Might be anger on your lips
Might run scared for the door
But in seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and

thanks...back to your regularly scheduled thread.

You shouldn't like Rush??? Blasphemy!!!


I guess i shouldn't have included them.

Oh, it's fantastic, without a shadow of a doubt. But it shouldn't be good. Children's TV show sample, preposterous lyrics where nothing actually happens... It just seems to be brilliant despite all this.

I like the bit when Doug's DJs Chill WIll and Barry B have a go at him for forgetting the date of their gig. "Man, you did it again? OH NO!"

ninja rap by Vanilla Ice
and any song by Mudvayne, Nothingface, or On Broken Wings

Im not really sure what the title is, but its an oldie,......and the hook goes somthing like this......."i love you babie , and if its quite allright ill miss you baby to warm the the lonly nights,...anyways it was in the movie "ten things i hate about you".......for some reason i love tha shit outta that song...........im a sucker for the big-band sound

That's 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You'...the Andy Williams version is my favourite...

"Swallon That Load" by Skrappmetal
"Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" by Meatloaf
Anything by ABBA or The Village People

t.a.t.u ...




(runs and hides)

Actually, if you want to hear a fantastic song, try Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, the last song on the last Abba LP, The Visitors. It makes Joy Division sound like The Bloodhound Gang - it's heartbreaking.

commence murdering.

i'm totally using this thread to think of more bad music i need to download. i was so happy when i saw tuffy's mention of the abercrombie and fitch song, i had completely forgotten it existed.

WWW.70TRAVELER.COM - that has some APPALLING but rather good songs like Richard Harris' MacArthur Park.

i could listen to that dj sammy cover version of bryan adams' "heaven" for hours and hours on repeat.

i know.

i know.

nelly : hot in herre

phantom planet : lonely day and california

electric light orchestra : mr. blue sky


yeah...yeah

I can't go for that (no can do) by Hall & Oates.

Actually, I pretty much celebrate this bands entire catalouge. Sincerely and without irony. My band's gonna splinter into a Hall & Oates cover band called, The Private Eyes. We're going to slay san jose.

I don't think there's any music I shouldn't like.
But, I can be too damn serious sometimes.

If this is wrong then I don't want to be right!

I'm With You by Avril Lavigne
Looks Like We Made It by Barry Manilow
I Just Died In Your Arms by the Cutting Crew
Cry Me A RIver by Justin Timberlake
Safety Dance by Men Without Hats
And anything by Destiny's Child & Beyonce.

Hahahaha yes!

And the various other early/mid-80s pop classics.

- What I like About You (Romantics)
- My Sharona (Knack)
- Relax (Frankie GTH)
- Shiny Shiny (Hayzee Fantayzee)

Stupid but fun.

ok well...there is no reason to put Rush, G nR, Crue, Metallica, Slayer, or Maiden on that list
