"Harper Valley P.T.A." -- my opinion of it since the first day I heard it. Even Larry Lujak on WLS-AM Chicago read my letter on the air complaining about his station playing it.

OK, more pop than rock, but my nominations would be:

Honey
You're Having My Baby
Sugar, Sugar

There's probably something in the Geneva Convention forbidding the playing of those three back to back.

Obviously, the members of AK aren't the first to ever tackle this weighty subject. Check out the results of a CNN poll from 2006: http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/25/worst.songs/index.html?eref=yahoo

After further review, Steely Dan - Reelin in the Years ranks at the top of my list. Second would be Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall.

Any track from the Bob Welch album "French Kiss". Hideous. Just hideous.

+1. If I have to state an all time most hated album, this is probably it.

Nothing forces me to turn off the stereo faster than those two songs.

I know this is subjective...but there have been some horrendous songs on otherwise good albums from the rock and roll era. I was prompted to create this thread after hearing the great side 2 of Double Fantasy first, and then hearing "Kiss, Kiss, Kiss" and "Give me Something" on side 1. Oh my God, I heard Yoko was terrible but I haven't really listened to it before.

Another song that comes to mind is "Bugs" by Pearl Jam on Vitology.

I know a lot of this crap is "experimental" by established artists who can do anything they want, but for the love of God....:thumbsdn:

An excellent question, but there is truly only one answer. "We Built This City."

Agree about the Pink Floyd -- that song's always irritated me (mostly the kiddie chorus) -- but Steely Dan? Is it maybe just that it's a good song that's been overplayed, or did you feel that way the first time you heard it?

Admit it, though - he was a helluva pitcher for a little while.

I simply flee the premises.

Until the booze got to him.

I'm not big on Steely Dan to start with and that song has always been unbearable to me. Most of their songs just bore me rather than irritate me.

I kinda like(d) "Ebony Eyes". The album cover art is hideous.

I want to grab hold of an axe every time Springsteen's Rosalita is within my earshot.

You need to listen to a good, strong, live rendition of this number. Game changer, man.

Can the content of Rod Mckuen's so-called "musicical' compositions be considered? If yes, then THE McKUEN CATALOGUE. All of it.
