[Eccl 10:2]

No one is immune.

Nooooooooo!! Not the Beatles Honey Pie! That one always makes me laugh.

Don't confuse Honey Pie with Wild Honey Pie. Two different songs. Wild Honey Pie just repeats the words "Honey Pie" about twelve times and wraps it. I think it was filler to use up the last of the space on the White Album.

I agree that "Honey Pie" is a cute, poppy song.

[Eccl 10:2]

“Pretty much anything Paul Simon did after Simon and Garfunkel broke up.”

###################

Agreed. He went downhill fast after that.

[mmichaels1970]

I'm probably in the minority, but I'm not much of a fan of Paul's vocals solo. He really did need John and George to balance out his vocal range

Paul was terrible solo. Both John and Paul needed George.

Doobie Brothers, “Thank You Love” was a good song

[mmichaels1970]

“Free Falling”

I'm fond of saying that "at this very moment, a Tom Petty song is playing on at least one of your radio station presets."

Good! Go Gators!

[Eccl 10:2]

“If you do like the studio and how Duane plays on it, then you’re missing it not listening to the live version

Dickey Betts wrote it btw”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

“A song Dickey Betts wrote from our second album, uh, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”

“Already, gentlemen, a-one, two, a-one two three four...”

[moovova]

Thank you. Your comment should’ve been the end of the discussion.

[mmichaels1970]

I know, but damn, what was he thinking?

Yeah, I'll bet SOMEBODY got fired. True that! How about Bowie & Jagger doing Dancin' in the Streets? Now THAT can go down as one of the worst songs ever. Song-wise and video-wise.

[Eccl 10:2]

“jerimiah was a bullfrog....”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Yeah, not only does that song suck and got played out a zillion times over, now I have to endure that opening line countless times whenever I’m in a Bible study on that book.

[God luvs America]

Genesis Illegal Alien is a terrific song. I saw them do it in concert in 1980 and Phil Collins was spectacular doing the illegal alien bit.

Led Zeppelin Boogie With Stu is a tremendous song and one of the few times they brought in an outside musician. In fact Plant answers all the accusations he was gay in that song singing “I don’t want no tutti frutti, no lollipop.”

Glad to see the Moody Blues are not on this list- they have no bad songs.

[God luvs America]

Gary from Dayton- you win the internet today!!!

[God luvs America]

Agreed- Prophets Song on that same album, is better imo

[RedMonqey]

“Have you ever been mellow” by Olivia Newton John

Gad they overplayed that dreck of a song.

As well as anything by Donnie and Marie, especially “I’m a little roll and roll”

Gagging just thinking about it!

[mmichaels1970]

I like “Pinball Wizard”, “See Me, Feel Me”and “Behind Blue Eyes”, but that’s about it. “Baba O’Reilly”is one of the most boring songs ever recorded.

I just introduced my wife (not a Who fan) to "Boris the Spider" a couple of months ago. She asked where I'd been hiding that song my whole life and immediately added it to her Halloween Music Playlist

[mowowie]

Bye bye miss American pie
It NEVER ends

UGH...

[ViLaLuz]

Oh yeah, you’re right. The song I love is the filler Wild Honey Pie. It’s so bad it’s good.

“Most music by Kansas or Styx. Boston is getting on my last nerve due to overplay.”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Agreed on all counts

[mmichaels1970]

How about some of those awful late ‘80s hair band songs, like “Cherry Pie” by Warrant.

I can top it:

More than Words - Extreme.

[God luvs America]

That’s a rock song?
