RVAHC13
01.30.26 | “Never Meant” has easily become one of my least favorite songs over time
“What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes probably still has my #1 spot though |
AlkemestRedux
01.30.26 | American Football, yes. I described them once as mozzarella music. Flavorless but dependable. |
RVAHC13
01.30.26 | I can’t even say it’s a bad album, I just hate that it became a standard for what people consider “emo” |
jrlikestodance
01.30.26 | Never got the hype for American Football myself. Inoffensive but overrated |

01.30.26 | @botb now hold on lol I wasn’t talking about that |
ArsMoriendi
01.30.26 | I'm not even really a Lynyrd fan, but Free Bird is fine lol
At worst it's overplayed
Also Mambo No. 5 is secretly the good kinda cheese |
DoofDoof
01.30.26 | 'Brandenburg Gate' is so funny and I haven't listened to it in over ten years what am I doing |
Rowhaus
01.30.26 | Sorry guys, but Free Bird is among my least favorite of all of humanity's achievements. Whenever that solo comes in I just want to die. By far one of the most overrated, overplayed, most obnoxious pieces of shit I've ever heard in my life. |

ArsMoriendi
01.30.26 | Wait I just saw you updated your list with more songs and okay, but like...
LOSING MY RELIGION? That's actually a certified classic |
ArsMoriendi
01.30.26 | Like forget the rest of this list, that's unironically a 10/10 song.
Lyrics, composition, musicianship, emotion
Do you lack a soul? |
JoyfulPlatypus
01.30.26 | Every time I hear Losing My Religion I think of this one dumbass Family Guy joke where Michael Stipe is being hunted.
"is that him in the corner?"
"is that him in the spotlight??" |
Rowhaus
01.30.26 | "what's your take on their other hits ("Gimme Three Steps", "Sweet Home Alabama", "Simple Man")"
They're fine. Not really my thing but not bad. Free Bird is really the only one that actively pisses me off lol |
Demon of the Fall
01.30.26 | this list is getting a lot better ngl |
arthropod
01.30.26 | Every time I hear Losing My Religion I'm having several painful flashbacks at once. It's tear-inducing.
Also, Hotel California? What the hell? |
Demon of the Fall
01.30.26 | Hotel California is on the money and basically any hit from Swift, GNR the Chillies and Pantera works, so fair play |
Demon of the Fall
01.30.26 | Knocked Loose are also baaaaaad
Sleep Token is low hanging fruit but yeah that’s an easy win |
jrlikestodance
01.30.26 | Hotel California blows |
jrlikestodance
01.30.26 | Emmure bias w 54 |
ArsMoriendi
01.30.26 | Oh yeah I hate Hotel California
The Eagles in general are annoying
Life in the Fast Lane is even worse tho |
Demon of the Fall
01.30.26 | Sweet Home Alabama isn’t any better tbf. I haven’t done a deep dive into The Eagles but their hits are some of the worst rock music I’ve ever heard so why would I want to? |
unclereich
01.30.26 | no ccr no zepp no floyd no clash? not a certified hater yet |
Rowhaus
01.30.26 | I just find LMR so painfully dull. The vocal melody is super annoying and repetitive, there's very little variation in structure and tempo, and the whole song just plods along. Super boring. The chorus also gets stuck in your head, but not in a good way. "I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you laughing, that's me in the corner, that's me in the corner, that's me in the corner, that's me in the corner" Like bro stfu holy shit lol |

01.30.26 | Oh shit Float On is here too, damn. I mean it certainly isn’t in the best half of Good News but wow. Okay maybe you do have a lil edge here. I could do better, but still |
Insurrection
01.30.26 | 48 ain’t no way |
ArsMoriendi
01.30.26 | @Row: idk bro, it has 3 verses, a pre-chorus, a chorus, and 2 bridges (most songs only have 1) and the order doesn't even go "chorus verse chorus" cuz it has 2 verses next to each-other, so I always thought it was a little more varied than your typical 90s hit
Also, believe it or not, he only actually says "That's me in the corner" twice in the entire song and it's minutes apart. It's just that it's SO memorable that it really sticks |
jrlikestodance
01.30.26 | MGMT - Electric Feel would make my list |
ArsMoriendi
01.30.26 | @jr: interesting, I'd sooner choose Kids, never understood the hype for that song, it's just 1 catchy keyboard line with stock bass and stock drums |
unclereich
01.30.26 | an ins comment in 2026 is outrageous |
Demon of the Fall
01.30.26 | Time to Pretend or whatever it’s called would make my list for sure
the R.E.M choice wouldn’t be mine but if it was played incessantly wherever someone was I could understand. I’m more ‘whatever’ towards most of their hits than actively irritated by them tho |
unclereich
01.30.26 | if we are being real that one dropkick murphys song is probably the worst thing that's been made in the last 25 years |

01.30.26 | Losing My Religion isn’t nearly as bad as Stand |
jrlikestodance
01.30.26 | I am a notorious indie pop hater to be fair |
Rowhaus
01.30.26 | @Ars that's crazy he only says it twice lol. I guess for me it's been drastically overplayed and the vocal delivery just grinds me down. The "I thought I heard you laughing" line is what really gets my goat. The first time I heard that track it seemed like he said it a million times lol |
unclereich
01.30.26 | that i think that i found myself a cheerleader song infamously gave me aids back in 2016 |
ArsMoriendi
01.30.26 | He does says "I thought that you ____" a lot in the song, I'll give you that |
ArsMoriendi
01.30.26 | "Losing My Religion isn’t nearly as bad as Stand"
God I love Stand so much I've done it for karaoke more than once lmao. If you're gonna hate on REM at least go for Shiny Happy People or like Lotus gaaah |
jrlikestodance
01.30.26 | Unironically I dig Shiny Happy People lol |

11. The National - You Had Your Soul With You
12. No Doubt - Don't Speak
13. Puff Daddy - I'll Be Missing You
14. Suede - Beautiful Ones
15. Stereophonics - Have a Nice Day
16. The Sundays - Here's Where the Story Ends
17. The View - Same Jeans |

01.31.26 | My wife agrees with you on #12 Doof lmao she fuckin hates that song. |
DoofDoof
01.31.26 | So ubiquitous at the time, I have unwillingly listened to that song somewhere north of a hundred times argh |
RVAHC13
01.31.26 | @DoofDoof man the Besties hate is so strong around here lol
Unrelated note Country House and Girls & Boys ensure that I will never pick Blur over Oasis |
DoofDoof
01.31.26 | Albarn is definitely capable of writing some seriously annoying tunes it is true |
Eakflanderyof
01.31.26 | Freebird is overrated as hell but definitely not one of the worst songs ever. Skynyrd have way better songs that I'd rather hear on the radio way more. I'll take gimme back my bullets any time |
Eakflanderyof
01.31.26 | Overall, there's a lot that I agree with on the list. There are definirely worse RHCP and REM songs but so many bad ones it's hard to settle on worst
@doofdoof
Agreed hard on memory remains and zombie. Two embarrassing songs |
EoinCofa
01.31.26 | List is completely bogus! Proof: it doesn’t contain The Bangles - Walk Like An Egyptian |
Demon of the Fall
01.31.26 | ngl Doof’s batting average is incredible there |
Rowhaus
01.31.26 | My work here is done! Quite a few of these bands I actually enjoy, but sometimes they write a track that's simply vile. Being drastically overplayed doesn't help either. This was actually super fun to make lol |

01.31.26 | I still regularly listen to 'Bodies', it cheers me up, especially the 'counting for beginners' part |

01.31.26 | i understand your sentiment on almost every song that I like on this list |
DoofDoof
01.31.26 | I only think ten of these are great songs....and there's another five or six which are just hilarious and need to exist.
The rest all deserve to be launched into the cold, unforgiving and mercifully soundless vacuum of space. |
Rowhaus
01.31.26 | I love AIC, but I've always hated that song. Give me Bleed the Freak or We Die Young any day |
DoofDoof
01.31.26 | Songs I dig on this list (to some degree):
AIC - Man in the Box
Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song
Lynyrd Skynrd - Free Bird
Pantera - Walk
Joy Division - Disorder
Foo Fighters - Hero
White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Guns n Roses - Sweet Child
Judas priest - Breaking the Law
Modest Mouse - Float On
NMH - In the Aeroplane
REM - Losing My Religion
What I will say is a lot of those are overfamiliar to me now, esp Sweet Child/Free Bird/Seven Nation Army/Losing My Religion and so I get it.
When I first heard those songs they impressed me though....can't say that about the rest of your picks on the list! |
Demon of the Fall
01.31.26 | Okay, let’s see if I can do this without naming (most) artists and possibly butchering some track names…
Dancing Queen (or any stock hit)
We Will Rock You
Don’t Stop Believing
Hotel California / Sweet Home Alabama
Wonderwall (or any stock hit)
Sex on Fire
I Will Walk Five Hundred Miles (or whatever it’s called)
Shake It Off
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Blurred Lines (probably ironic, but I still hate it)
Livin’ for the Weekend (Hard-Fi… ah feck I named the ‘artist’)
All The Small Things (or I Miss You or whatever it’s called)
Girls & Boys (Good Charlotte, not Blur… but that one is like 1.0 better lol)
in fact basically that entire era of mainstream American pop punk…
Alkaline Trio were better than most tbf sorry Bubs
okay I’ve given up now..
Stereophonics
Kaiser Chiefs
The Bravery
Coldplay (yeah, all of it to be fair)
Snow Patrol
Guns N Roses
Pantera
Chillies (well ‘most’ … I mean their best song is a Stevie Wonder cover)
Between The Buried And Me
Sleep Token
‘Djent’
Nails
Tool
Whitesnake
AC/DC
Alanis Morrisette - Ironic |
Demon of the Fall
01.31.26 | I have some ‘edgier’ picks but this is a pretty stock Demon list off the top of my head |
Demon of the Fall
01.31.26 | Freebird & Bodies are good choices too to be fair |
DoofDoof
01.31.26 | Demon in with the Abba burn, I avoided that as I know I get slaughtered for not worshipping Abba |

ArsMoriendi
01.31.26 | Yellow Submarine is so overhated, Santera and Man in the Box are cool. Hating Take on Me is bizarre, and O Superman? Leave Laurie Anderson alone lol... |
jrlikestodance
01.31.26 | Agree that Take On Me and Man in the Box both go |
ArsMoriendi
01.31.26 | O Superman might be the best song on this entire list tbh
Like an actual hallmark of cool 80s experimental music
Really bizarre it charted at #2 in the UK, I wish the US pop charts were ever that daring |
arthropod
01.31.26 | Some of these picks are understandable but how you put Man In The Box, Seven Nation Army and Take On Me on the same level as Gagnam Style, Dance Monkey and motherfucking Crazy Frog is beyond me. |
Emim
01.31.26 | Agree that Take On Me and Man in the Box both go [2]
I've heard Seven Nation Army so many damn times I kinda agree with row |
