Songs We Ought To Retire
Lately I have come to realize that some songs have been around quite a while and worn out their welcome with me. Don't like them, or I find them annoying, whatever. If you could retire one or two songs from the global playlist which would they be?
"Sweet Home Alabama"- makes every person, regardless of religion, race, gender or geographic location feel like a red neck. And it's really not that good. "Epic" by Faith No More- I get it, understand its place in the musical evolution chain, but it really hasn't stood the test of time and Im just not a fan. |
"Tub Thumping" by Chumbawumba
"Wicked Game" by Chris Isaac "This Kiss" by Faith Hill "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock "Imma Be" by Black Eyed Peas |
Train - Soul Sister
|
Anything by Sublime. They're one of my favorite bands, but I feel like I've heard every single song a million times now.
|
Daft Punk-One More Time, utter euro trash crap.
|
Epic is one of my favs, but I understand your point.
"Thunderstruck" by AC/DC. It plays everywhere, motivational runs, Power Point presentations etc. |

Limp Bikzit--ANYTHING

"Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf
The song which goes "Stop, yeah, what's that smell" "I'm a Believer" by The Pretenders or anyone covering it "Fade to Black" by The Rolling Stones has an assload of covers which thankfully leave radio rotation fairly quickly. |

PrettyCool is PrettyPerceptive. "Fade to Black" = Metallica
|
Don't Stop Believin'--Journey. No such place as South Detroit, that would be Windsor and who the hell wants to sing about that place?
|
That club song that's like "SO WE GONNA ROCK THIS CLUB, WE GONNA GO ALL NIGHT, WE GONNA LIGHT IT UP LIKE IT'S DY-NOMITE"
|
That song that's like IT'S A QUARTER AFTER ONE, I'M ALL ALONE AND I MISS UUUUUU
|
Complete Discographies:
Bon Jovi 311 Sublime Dave Matthews Band Metallica Loutallica Goo Goo Dolls Counting Crows Lifehouse Gin Blossoms Everclear Mumford & Sons and related folk-suspenderwave stadium "indie" bands Pearl Jam - Evenflow Blind Melon - Whatever the fuck that bumblebee song is |
Like 97% of music probably

Journey - Don't Stop Believin' - Pretty much the bane of karaoke nights everywhere. Guaranteed to come up at least once throughout the night, and be sung terribly.
Oasis - Wonderwall - It's the "Don't Stop Believin'" of douchey acoustic guitar players at pubs. Bar promoting an acoustic set of some local musician? Almost guaranteed they will be playing Wonderwall at some point. Not a bad song by any means, but just so cliché. Lynyrd Skynyd - Sweet Home Alabama - For basically the same reasons as above. Pearl Jam - Evenflow - "Controversial" pick, but IDK. Every time I listen to any alternative radio station I hear it. Like, without fail. And, no exaggeration, every single time I've been in a car with anyone who has XM radio, if the Lithium station is on I've heard this track within 10 minutes of the station being on. I get that that's the "point" of the channel, but BLAH. I'm just tired of hearing this song on the radio. Also, basically any song that was "the rage" for about 2 weeks and has outlived its 15 minutes. Like if I were to hear a radio station today playing Call Me Maybe or Gangnam Style. The songs, during their peak, were annoying but I understood that that was the chart-topper of the moment. Whatevs. Now though, it's like... you're just embarrassing yourself, top 40 station. Let it go. crossrine |

However, the recent resurgence of the song being sung everywhere thanks to Glee is enough to make me agree that it should be retired. In fact, we should retire any song that gets onto Glee. And yes, I'm aware that includes "Somebody to Love" by Queen and that one Lady Gaga song I can tolerate. |
"Go With The Flow" by Zachary Amaranth. I've played it so many times now it is engraved in my brain so it's not really necessary to keep around.

I appreciate your fandom. :lol:
|
you're all a bunch of fuckers
|
Hell's Bells
Welcome to the Jungle Don't Stop Believing Bohemian Rhapsody |
blink 182 because they are atrocious.
|
Green Day - "Wake Me Up When September Ends" + "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"
John Mayer - "Your Body Is A Wonderland" |
Pearl Jam - "Yellow Ledbetter": I hate this song more than "Evenflow," because I swear it takes 5 years to get through.
Rob Zombie - "Living Dead Girl": I should specify the digital playings of this song. Because HALF OF THE EFFECTS are lost in the conversion from Analog to Digital. Linkin Park - The whole catalog: Seriously. They had maybe one good song ever. If there was any band that should be thankful that At The Drive-In imploded when they did, it's these guys. |

I think the worst I've ever experienced was two drunk chicks doing Walk by Pantera. At first I was willing to give them props on the song selection, but once it started, oh good god did that take a 180. crossrine |
Anything Dave Matthews he's awful.
|
All hipster crap

I agree with Fakerazor. If you're not good enough to get on a major record label then you shouldn't be allowed to release music.
|
Everything Muse has ever done
|
again I agree with FakeRazor. Muse is just Radiohead light mixed with a little Queen. Nothing original at all.
|
Bon Iver and Animal Collective are fucking terrible. They can quit too.
|
Anything considering "atmospheric"
|
Lot of terrible choices in here.

"Been Caught Stealing" by Jane's Addiction. Never was a fan and the job I worked in high school had this song playing at least once a day in the background. I have come to loathe it.
