Lots of great songs for sure. Some not so great but every single one of the songs displays more talent than the jerkoff author has. Just pathetic journalism if you can call it that. Journalism today, all too often, is all about clicks and controversy. On a side note, one of the greatest things I've learned in my life if not to give a poopie about what anyone else thinks. I like what I like irrespective of what anyone else thinks.
I think the problem is more that so many people don't really understand the concept of "journalism." And they don't read closely enough to realize that. And they're cheap and don't want to pay for it.
I look at lists of mainstream rock songs like this one as "most hated" and I always ask what the author and nominators of the list believe is good music. Never surprised when they come up with music I have almost never heard of and is of little quality when I do listen to it.
a list trying to determine the worst song of all time should never include Across the Universe.
or Tubthumping. Never ever Tubthumping.
He drinks a whisky drink, he drinks a vodka drink, he drinks a lager drink, he drinks a cider drink. he sings the songs that remind him of the good times, he sings the songs that remind him of the better times.....
I GET KNOCKED DOWN BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NOT EVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

Yes there are and yet These Boots Are Made for Walking isn't on the list. Go figure.
How can you criticize anyone's art and be so unoriginal as to list the same song 3 times in the first half of his list (Big Yellow Taxi- which is far from a great song) ? He can't even be original in finding songs to bitch about.
There are some crap songs and some good songs on that list. I bet you could all give me your top 10 or 25 favorite rock & pop songs of all time and I'd see at least one song I personally don't like.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

I once read in the Bergen Record that the album All Things Must Pass was ranked as the most overrated of all time. I threw that paper in the trash.

sometimes a song is so overplayed when first released, it becomes hated by a good number of people
Not a very good song but "you light up my life" was on the radio about 4 times an hour, it seems... if you did not like it much the first time, by the end of the hour you hated it.

I know that most of you and I are separated by a couple of generations.I was raised on B1G Band Swing and Jazz in all of its forms.There were many Singers that did good music as well.There is much of Classical Music that I can listen to and enjoy. Even limited Country.Disco sound and a lot of its songs ,I found pleasurable. Like Military Marches too. Stirring! Here it comes! BUT, Whatever else out there that tries to pass as Music ,since the Beatles,completely disinterests me.I have eclectic tastes but they don't extend to the stuff that you young pups like.Continue to enjoy but please keep the volume down when I cruise by.
My dad and Joe Garagiola would listen to "Live from the Meadowbrook"(Ceder Grove, NJ) If you've ever seen the movie Holiday Inn, it was a small venue that attracted the best swing bands in the world. They would listen from their clubhouse that had the luxury of having a radio from Dago Hill in St Louis MO.
They loved Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glen Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey…etc
These were 15 year old Italian kids who barely spoke English being Americanized, Their parents all from the old country were horrified by the music.
A “Middle Three Night” was held each year around Christmas at the Meadowbrook on Route 23 in Cedar Grove and was for alumni of Rutgers, Lafayette and Lehigh. According to the December 12, 1945 Targum it, “… has come to be a ‘must’ on the eastern college man’s holiday social calendar.” The bands in 1945 were broadcast on a coast-to-coast radio hook-up. By 1956 it was known as “Rutgers Night.”
Both those songs have been so over played I can't stand listening to them anymore. I would add Brandy by Looking Glass and Springsteen Dancing in the Dark to the list.
At the start of every summer it's mandatory that The Boys Are Back In Town be played 7 to 10 times daily.
