Probably never heard most of them, I stopped listening about then, boring.

I just came across a funny and good country song from 1995 though, CMA video of the year:

“My Wife Thinks You’re Dead”
-Junior Brown

Most of the list were not familiar. In no particular order, I’d nominate:

“Break My Stride” — Matthew Wilder
“The Fanatic” — Felony
“Black Betty” — Ram Jam (the original is from Leadbelly I think, but the song just sucks)
“Fred Bear” — Ted Nugent (overall I like the Nuge)
“Fantasy” — Aldo Nova
Anything by Whitney Houston
Most of the later catalog of singles from Tom Petty

The most annoyed song in my book is “Screamface” by Howard Dean. It really grates on the nerves. And the lyrics didn’t even rhyme.

Many years ago I got the song for my birthday. Whoever gave it too me obviously didn’t like me very much.

Yes! And Rupert Holmes "other hit", Him, was equally banal and annoying.

Rupert also wrote “Timothy”, the song about Cannibalism.

One song I like, but I imagine many others would find annoying is, Madness - One Step Beyond.

My personal unfavorite is anything by Bruce Springsteen, but especially his "Christmas" song. Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Ugh! I make it my goal every Christmas season to avoid hearing it.

Do you like Pina Coladas...dunes of the cape? Both husband and wife post personals to cheat on each other and meet on a date. I automatically change the stations if it comes on. So annoying.

I hate it, not only for the annoying tune, but the b.s. lyrics. Oh, so they both realize the other is a cheat, and they laugh it off and get it on? Are you kidding? That meeting would end in a screamfest in real life.

“Baby Please Come Home,” no matter who sings it, drives me up a wall. Baby, please go home.

During an interesting period for me in the Army I had a little transistor radio and every morning before putting on my helmet and grabbing my M-14 with a lead filled barrel for my daily morning 10k cross country run followed by what was going to be a long and hard work day, I would listen to Sammy Davis Junior’s “The Candy Man” which was a big hit at the time. The song is OK with me but the incongruity was humorous.

"Carol of the Bells"...and any traditional song they put to jazz/rap...makes me want to run out of grocery/other stores.

"Don't go breaking my heart"...made me want to break things.

"Ebony and Ivory"...vomit inducing.

Most Billy Joel stuff.

I’d rather listen to the Mariah Carey song, and that’s saying something.
