Just John 0 Report post 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.

Dr. Zaius 0 Report post 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.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post 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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post 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.

Though I'm sure that Nickelback has their share of fans here, considering the love that Evanescence, 50 Cent, and Dwight Yoakem get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
