Just John Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 I think "Hey Ya" is a better Outkast nomination. That's one of those songs that I don't want to hate because it's by an artist I really like, but I just can't help it. The song has an awful sound and makes absolutely no sense at all.
Red Baron Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 H.O.V.A. and La La La by Jay-Z is bad.
Kardo Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 I wish I was a punk rocker - Sandi Thom, terrible sub-standard pop song.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 H.O.V.A. and La La La by Jay-Z is bad. If you're talking "Hova Song" off ...Sean Carter, yeah, that's dumb. If you're talking "I.Z.Z.O. (H.O.V.A.)," one of the greatest summery rap singles I've ever heard, you're nuts.

Dr. Zaius Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 "Smells like teen spirit" by Nirvana. You can say something like it's got great sound but the lyrics are the stupidest load of crap ever spewed out the mouth of a singer. It's gotta be a top 10 finalist for most overrated song in the history of music as well. While I'll admit I got tired of that song long ago, I'd also remind you that song was written 15 years ago...back when Color Me Badd, Gerardo, C+C Music Factory, and Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch were popular. Smells Like Teen Spirit > Every popular song from the year 1991.
Slayer Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Hair metal was waning by that point, but there were still some good new songs getting MTV/radio airplay in '91... plus The Black Album came out that year.
Red Baron Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 And Facelift was out for a year allready. I'll add Midlife Crisis by Faith No More as well. Lyrics are dumb.

Red Baron Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Over R.E.M., Silent Lucidity by Queensryche and Wings of Change by Scorpions and Freedom 50 by George Michael... sure whatever.
Smartly Pretty Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Fuck everyone who said Steal my sunshine was dumb.
Red Baron Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Novelty song in 99, and You Get What You Want by the New Radicals also.
Slayer Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Over R.E.M., Silent Lucidity by Queensryche and Wings of Change by Scorpions and Freedom 50 by George Michael... "Bring the Noise" by Public Enemy + Anthrax
TheTomster Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 The Bad Touch by the Bloodhound Gang
C Dubya 04 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Over R.E.M., Silent Lucidity by Queensryche and Wings of Change by Scorpions and Freedom 50 by George Michael... sure whatever. Those jumped out at me (well, except for Scorpions and George Michael). Also, Crazy by Seal is a good song. As for the thread at hand, Photograph by Nicklebag is the worst IMO.
Slayer Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 BTW, as far as the hits off Nevermind are concerned, I'd take "Lithium" and "In Bloom" over SLTS
CanadianGuitarist Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 BTW, as far as the hits off Nevermind are concerned, I'd take "Lithium" and "In Bloom" over SLTS Terretorial Pissings was the most overlooked song in the history of man. *Seconds the hate for Photograph
Corey_Lazarus Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 I'm going to have to suggest the bulk of SOD's library as well. I love the band, don't get me wrong. Fuck Anthrax, I think Scott and Charlie should get back together with Billy and Dan and just do SOD tours and albums for the next few years, but really: "Milk"? Here are the lyrics: I woke up Can't wait to eat I got my cereal Boy was I beat Open up the fridge And to my dismay There's no milk My mommy will pay I WANT SOME MILK My coffee grows cold I WANT SOME MILK I should've been told I wish I had some goddam milk My Cheerio's just ain't the same I wish I had some goddam milk But the milkman never came I can't go out to the store I'll just wait 'til mommy buys more I'll just have Wheat Thins and beer If I get sick then the toilet is near It's either pure, unadulterated genius to write a song so terribly dumb, or a symbol of Billy's lack of lyrical abilities. I'm leaning towards the former, myself. Though nothing by MOD really struck me as "smart" crossover, either. EDIT- RE: "Territorial Pissings" Odd that CanGuit mentions that song as I do a post about SOD. On the Speak English or LIVE DVD (also released as the live album Live at Budokan), SOD covers "Territorial Pissings"...but not before Billy has to find a piece of paper with the lyrics to the song on it because he can't understand what the fuck Kurt Cobain is saying.
Red Baron Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Over R.E.M., Silent Lucidity by Queensryche and Wings of Change by Scorpions and Freedom 50 by George Michael... "Bring the Noise" by Public Enemy + Anthrax Bring The Noise > Walk this way. Impact wise and all.
Corey_Lazarus Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Not to mention Anthrax > Aerosmith...and Public Enemy > Aerosmith...

Smells Like Teen Spirit > Every popular song from the year 1991. Except that its STILL getting praised as a great song when it's just NOT. No one goes out and defends Marky Mark's "Feel the vibrations" as one of the best. The song is what it is, stupid load that is still getting more than it deserves. Saying it's better than every song in 1991 is like saying cat crap doesn't stink when you compare it to what comes out of a horse and dog.
Hawk 34 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 People praise it because of its significance and role in changing the guard moreso then the actual quality of the song itself.
Special K Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 "How you remind me" by Nickelback is probably my least favorite song ever. The chorus: YEAH-UH! YEAH-UH! YEAH-UH! NO NO. Desperado features hilariously bad lyrics, and it's just SO heartfelt. Like Celine Dion, beating your chest heartfelt. And Nirvana's the shit, and 'Nevermind' is a kickass album.
snuffbox Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 YEAH-UH! YEAH-UH! YEAH-UH! NO NO. We must have all heard that a billion times in 2001/2002. Though I'm sure that Nickelback has their share of fans here, considering the love that Evanescence, 50 Cent, and Dwight Yoakem get.
Perfxion Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Posted September 5, 2006 Saying "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a better written song and better lyrics than a song like say, "Summertime" by Will Smith(which came out in 1991)+ is just one of the dumbest things a person can say.
