Music that you hate from musicians you actually like

Posted by: Oscar_F on 18 May 2011

Hi everybody

 

Is there any music from singers/composers that you actually like that makes you mad? Any reason qualifies (you don´t actually like, it is overexposed, used in a TV commercial that you hate...). Does not qualify if you actually hate everything from a singer/composer, so for me no Elton John or Phil Collins.

 

These are the ones that I can think of right now:

 

- Simon & Garfunkel´s  " El condor pasa"

- John Lennon´s "Imagine"

- Any try by Ella Fitzgerald or Frank Sinatra to sing Brazilian music (they show absolutely no feeling for it)

- Add Diana Krall to the line above

- Richard Rodgers´s music for "The sound of music" (and I could say the same for most of his collaborations with Oscar Hammerstein compared to his previous work with Lorenz Hart)

- ABBA`s "Chiquitita" and "Fernando" (actually I do not like them in general, only love 3-4 of their songs)

- Stevie Wonder`s "Ribbon in the sky" and "I just called to say I love you"

- Bruce Springsteen´s "Hungry heart"

 

This is it from me for time being (may come back with more)

 

Regards

I assume that Ringo songs on Beatles albums don't count?

To add:

 

The Clash:1-2 I Got A Crush on You & Should I Stay Or Should I Go

Bruce Springsteen: Little Girl I Wanna Marry You & Drive All Night (Mainly for the lyric: "I'd drive all night just to buy you...some shoes." No he wouldn't. No-one would do that. For anyone. It's daft.)

Ornette Coleman: Free Jazz (All of it)

Sure, he wouldn't actually do it -- but he'd say that he would, in order to get the girl....

I would imagine that these were a particular kind of shoe of which the woman in question was unusually fond. In such a situation I think many people would be prepared to drive all night to get them, if they were in love.

I've seen these shoes around LA in pumped up women,  YUCK!

 

Some are all straps and their feet look like their in cages.
