Lady in Red is an absolute shoe in. Even better when his wife found out that it was written for the au pair he ran off rather than her.
Whiter shade of pale - procul harem, just listen to the lyrics, awful awful.

About anything Michael Bolton sings makes me cringe, even if it was a song I loved by the original artist who recorded it. Sounds like he's in terrible pain no matter what the mood of the song

The 80's song "Hey Mikey" it probably my all time most hated song, soon as I hear that introductory clapping, I change the channel. I also really get offended by Old Navy using old TV show tunes to make their commericals, like the one from the Brady Bunch. I actually emailed them to tell them I was boycotting them till that commercial was off the air. They answered too. They said it appealed to a wide audience, but I wondered who it would be since everyone I knew agreed with me.

What did you think of Madonna as Evita?

i already know you hated her as evita...but the fact is she did a great job, really got into the role. i am no madonna fan, but i loved the movie. and of course there was banderas. the lyrics are brilliant if you know the facts, and she was so convincing in the role there were protests in buenos aires. historically it is a fascinating story and the musical was fairly true to life. eva peron was a stone nazi but she was the princess di of her day.

Now I never said I hated Madona as Evita... I said I hated that movie, it was snoreville... and I was praying for it to end.
I think Madonna is a great singer and would like to see her do Evita on stage live in a theatre production...

ALL songs by eminem Bleck somebody please please shoot him. They all sound the same and they are all just trashy talk set to some kind of vaguely familiar tune from his previous song.

Have to admit that Brittney Spears turns my stomach. Find it interesting that her song lyrics include "hit me baby one more time" and "ow ow ow ow ow". Makes me feel a little better about it.
I'm with you on the Feliz Navidad thing and all other Christmas carols even if they are revamped by modern artists. :yh_sick

Rap also makes me ill. It makes me feel terrible for todays youth.
My idols years ago were Emerson Lake and Palmer, Curved Air, Jethro tull
I had an excellent backgroud in Classical music. I wanted to be a ballet dancer.
These artists were brilliant to me because they were combing classical int o a
formula that introdued our generation to good music, and yet not dull.

Uh-oh!! DOH!! :-5
Okay, I kinda like Feliz Navidad, sorry!! And the Prospero ano (no "tilde")
y Felicidad is wishing you a prosperous and happy New Year, what's so
bad about that? (She says ducking the bricks thrown her way!)
I just LOVE country, although I don't get to listen to it very much any more,
I had to give up most music when I found out it interferes with my sleep
patterns, and The Val would do just about ANYTHING in order to sleep
good! I like almost all kinds of music, even Outkast! HEY, YA!! Amazing at
52 years old, huh?!?!?!? I like a lot of the "older" rap.
I just saw Tina Turner on Oprah yesterday, and I must say, the lady is
pure SEX! We're talkin' HOT, babe. About the best thing I ever saw in
a music way was Tina and Mic singing together. Whoo-hoo!!
So my song that makes me cringe? You guys probably don't remember it
unless you happened to catch an oldies station a time er two... it's
called "Yummy, yummy yummy I got Love in my Tummy" by I think it
was Tommy James and the Shondels... groan now that I've typed that
I'll prolly be singin' it all dang DAY!
:yh_cry

An old song named Muskrat Love makes me physically ill if I hear it. And that stupid "I'm Too Sexy" song is nauseating as well.

I played and sang a really jazzy version of Muskrat Love on guitar for the ceremony (Even you might have liked this one). It was the only music in the wedding. We Californians are pretty eccentric.

Vindaloo got up my nose, the second biggest selling single of 1998 by Fat Les. The closely related phenomenon of Fat Les Polyphonic Ringtones comes close.
Loreena McKennit and her utterly interminable version of - I was going to say the Unquiet Grave, but let's be honest - anything at all. She could sing Bob Dylan's Top Ten Protest Songs and I'd still puke. And that darned clone of hers, Enya, whoever she is.
That slug Caruso, too. What fool told him he could sing? Nobody with vibrato should be let loose in a recording studio.
Anyone French who thinks he knows one end of a synthesizer from another, the pseud ponces. Stand up Jean Michell Jarre, this is your cue.
