FMD: Songs Others Like That, in Actuality, Suck.

[A_B]

I'll go first, since that's how starting a thread works.

Hallelujah. I don't think there's a version of it I like. I think it's got stupid lyrics and the music is boring. Fuck your major lift, Leonard.

[Giff]

I really hope for your sake that rass doesn't like that song.

[rass]

Shrek makes me cry.

[L-Jam3]

The original Tears For Fears “Mad World” is a perfectly fine 80s tune. Every slowed-down, overly maudlin cover of it since is hot garbage.

Under the Bridge is my evergreen answer to this question.

How about the entire practice of re-arranging 80's jams into acoustic songs. It was cute when Nouvelle Vague did it 20 years ago, not so much anymore.

The genre known as 'TrailerCore' because of its heavy usage in movie trailers.

A sad, slowed-down breakdown of trailercore

Anyone who’s watched a trailer for basically any genre of movie over the past 10 years or so — from horror and action to serious dramas — has probably encountered the “trailercore” phenomenon. Basically, it’s when a movie trailer uses a cover version of a familiar song that’s been slowed down and stripped back, with added emotional emphasis to the lyrics, usually overlaying them with darker meaning. Oh, and the song is usually a nauseatingly on-the-nose match for some basic idea in the movie’s premise: Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse” in the Dune trailer, “I’ve Got No Strings” for Avengers: Age of Ultron, “Crazy” in the Birdman trailer, or “I Started a Joke” for Suicide Squad, to name just a handful. Usually, the trailer starts off with a score that builds up to the drop of the song, where viewers are meant to make the connection and experience a moment of shock and awe. But after a decade of this technique, it’s become harder to get that kind of strong reaction. There’s an art to trailercore, and not all trailers are made equally.

One of a triumvirate of Sinatra songs, along with “That’s Life” and “My Way” that true Sinatra fans despise, and think that anyone that do are assholes.

Emphatically co-sign this one while I think for a bit.

Feels like a veiled shot at Rass and his new show.

[sancarlos]

Since we are picking on Rass, I’ll say “most of the yacht rock genre”. (And, co-sign the trailer core comments.)

Previously they could be found on 'lifestyle' compilation CD's that you could get at, say, Banana Republic, Starbucks, etc.

[Steve of phpBB]

Heh ... back in high school / college / etc. I would have said that every song that other people like sucks.

Now, definitely agree with Under the Bridge and pretty much anything by Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr., or anyone else in that style.

[P.D.X.]

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) can suck it too.

I have HATED Tears For Fears since high school.

My first girlfriend and her friends would play that album and pretty much stare into space before talking about how much they hated their families.

Fuck Tears For Fears forever.

"Hotel California" and "In The Air Tonight" will be the first two songs I hear if I end up in hell.

And "Hallelujah" blows maudlin chunks.

[bapo!]

Fuck Tears For Fears forever.

Man, you and I are destined to disagree on everything when it comes to pop culture, aren't we?

Sorry your girlfriend ruined 'Songs from the Big Chair' for you, but it still holds up.

[rass]

See, pruitt knows how to take a shot at me without being all blatant about it.

[Johnny Carwash]

Pruitt just needed to let it all out. There are things he can do without. (He was talking to you.)

[Giff]

Honestly, I wish he'd break it down again.

[bapo!]

Come on!

[awesome synth solo]

[tennbengal]

This depo is never gonna end. I’ve missed so much today. Sounds like Rass just needs to let it all out?

[tennbengal]

Also, Born to Run, is the answer here.

[EnochRoot]

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) can suck it too.

Is that Green Day? Agreed (if so). For a while there it was a battle for who I could care less for: Green Day or Foo Fighters.

Using a Ben Folds Five song to slag Green Day and Foo Fighters? 20 y.o. me would be very upset.

rass is finer than a personal assistant to a SEC head coach. A lack of consistency just bugs me sometimes.

On a Friday afternoon? That suuuuuucks.

Unearned unhappiness (that's all right I guess!)

SO hard. Fuckin’ doctors. On an up note, it’s the defendant doctor and he’s in hell.

[tennbengal]

As is his salty counsel. They were in the ones who chose 2:00 on a Friday. Suck it.

[pruitt2]

Come on!

[awesome synth solo]

Sorry man, that is DRECK for annoyed 17 year olds.

And fuck Blondie - "Heart of Glass" is kitschy fun, but my god they sucked.

"Rapture" is on the "Music they play in hell" mixtape.

I looked it up. I have had this take before. Jerk nose.

[EnochRoot]

Everybody Wants to Rule the World encapsulates the vibe of the 80s about as well as Peter Gabriel's Big Time or Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love.

See, I really like that Everybody Wants to Rule the World, but I have always been instantly annoyed by the other two. I don't know if there are any Palmer songs I don't dislike.

[DSafetyGuy]

"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is good because...

I'd really love to break your heart, Pruitt. If it weren't for the border restrictions, I would drive to T.O. and reenact 'Kids in the Hall' skits on your lawn.

[Johnnie]

I literally want to have My Way and Everybody Wants To Rule The World on a playlist at my retirement ceremony. This is making me chuckle.

I don't know if I can adequately answer this question, to be honest. I'm pretty sure any song that I'd name is actually good, but I'm biased and just dislike it.

Like Sweet Home, Alabama. Song just sucks to me. But it was written in the 70s, so I have to read second hand accounts about what it means and why it exists. I can't stand the song at all regardless of that stuff at all.

Feh!

Certain bands just get me riled up.

[sancarlos]

Fuckin' A! This aggression will not stand! I love Blondie and I love Deborah Harry!
