This is clearly in the wrong thread. I am not always good at following rules. 
Ella singing Mack the Knifeā¦
Some of you are really, really cranky, and really, really picky.
I donāt like Billy Joel, either, but I donāt feel any moral imperative to put him down. Except for āJust The Way You Are.ā And āCaptain Jack.ā Ditto all of the melismatic divas cited above. And some of the non-melismatic ones. I never liked Judy Collins much, but my wife does.
Something I really canāt stand: 10cc, āIām Not In Love.ā
Elton John I never got. His first album is tolerable, with Tiny Dancer and Your Song, but after that, meh. Except I liked āDonāt Go Breaking My Heart.ā
Omg I agree with you on that song āIām not in love,ā @jhs. Itās right up there with ālady in redā as one of my most disliked pop songs.
Tom Petty
In the āyou are a creepy pedophile categoryā the Benny Mardones song āInto the Nightā The first line is āSheās just 16 years old, leave her alone they sayā, He was 34 when he released the song.
Kid Rock makes me stabby. Especially hate the song with Sheryl Crowe and āAll Summer Longā where he rips off (I mean samples) Werewolves of London.
Iāve only read the first page, and already have a bunch to comment on:
I agree about Dave Matthews Band. I wanted to like him, but could never get past his voice. Speaking of voices that are hard to get past, Bob Dylan. Iāve tried to get into his music, because so many musicians I like cite him as an influence, but I just donāt like most of it. Plus he comes off as an arrogant ass in a lot of the interviews Iāve seen. I realized something about him, though. Heās never rude to females who interview him, only men.
I also heard a tape of him and John Lennon drunk or high or something, and John Lennon is the one who sounds like an arrogant ass. Dylan sounds like a nice guy. Maybe the arrogant act is something he puts on for the interviews.
I like Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, and Jimmy Buffet. I donāt run out and buy Celine Dionās albumās, but I like her music. Absolutely hate most country, to the point that itās torture if Iām stuck somewhere and thatās all thatās playing. Sorry. I know people love it, but I just donāt get. Itās like reality TV - I have to leave the room 
Another entrant in the creepiest-song-ever category is Rod Stewartās Tonightās the Night.
She must have seen the play Mamma Mia, and you didnāt, or youāre immune. I wasnāt 
Iāve got it all on my iPod. Embarrassing, but true
I actually quit a once-a-week volunteer gig because the people who ran it (a resale shop that benefits rescue animals) only listened to country music. After a few months, I couldnāt take it any longerā¦ even if only for four hours once a week.

Thatās funny. I like that one. The one of his that I canāt stand is āOld Time Rock and Rollā. And thatās the one thatās on all of the Karaoke machines. I like āAgainst The Windā and āFire Lakeā, but the rest is just OK.
@cellomom2 While Hotel California is by The Eagles, Horse With No Name is not. Itās by America.
Iām with you on this buddy. Sheās the problem I know a good divorce attorney
Wow! Really? None of it? Not the early stuff, the late stuff, the psychedelic stuff? Sorry, youāre entitled to your own tastes. Iāve just never heard anyone say that.
I agree @mathmom. I donāt play him all the time, but I love Jimmy Buffet. I didnāt realize how many people hate him. āHe went to Parisā, āPencil thin moustacheā, and āCome Mondayā are three of my favorites. I donāt know the others. Iāll have to check them out.
Station is changed immediately when REO Speedwagon comes on.
Creepy song: Heartās āAll I Want To Do Is Make Love To Youā
Also really dislike Al Stewartās āYear of the Catā and George Thorogoodās āBad to the Bone,ā although I am always delighted to catch, āOne Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beerā as it kills nearly 10 minutes of drive time.
I like Mickey! Great running song. I also liked Iām Not in Love. Maybe I donāt have any taste!
Give the kids some credit; my grandparents have a few of those lying around.
I literally laughed out loud at this. I donāt think I would have lasted there either
My brother-in-law plays country on his TV when weāre there sometimes, and he lives in a small condo, so thereās nowhere to escape to. Itās torture. And he loves it. He was horrified that I didnāt know some guy whoās supposed to be a big guy in country.
Thereās other music that I donāt particularly love, like most pop music, but I can tolerate it, and even get into a little bit if itās catchy. But country music does absolutely nothing for me.
I once saw a really creepy guy sing āStroke Itā ā complete with hand gestures ā at a karaoke bar. Iād add that to the creepy song list ā but I may have been unduly influenced by that particular performance.
@MommaJ : āā¦de gustibus non est disputandum.ā
Very well said.
