I hate the music you listen to.

[[deleted user]]

I hate Feist.

[[deleted user]]

I have no idea who James Blunt is, but he does sound eminently hateable! Which means that it's just a short amount of time before he winds up as the muzak that plays on my friend's (you know who are)cell phone.

I still hate you Feist!

No big surprise, but I hate you too Dave Matthews!

I hate Marian Carey, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson and others of their ilk - the whiny, nails-on-a-blackboard caterwauling and the songs so annoying and generic that I'd rather be beheaded with a wooden spoon than have to listen to them.

[Bryan]

I hate it when people denigrate popular top 40 songs, indiscriminately lumping in the good in with the bad. "Since U Been Gone" and "Hit Me Baby One More Time" are pop classics that will probably live longer and be more fondly remembered than anything by, say, Arcade Fire or the Arctic Monkeys. Don't forget that The Beatles were a top 40 boy band.

[Charissa]

OMG I totally hate James Blunt. I hate how he slowly takes off his clothes while he's singing "You're Beautiful" in his music video... because he's all pasty and concave chested and weasel faced and annoying and it's like a bad hippie porn flick with a soft tone and sekritly he's a pervert and he doesn't care about you being beautiful he just wants to get laid and then eat all the vegan cookies in your cupboard and borrow your socks and wear them home with his Berkinstock sandals. :::shudder::::

[Michael]

I dislike The Fray with extreme prejudice.

[Meels]

I had NO idea who James Blunt even was, but at the too graphic and hilarious description courtesy of Charissa, I had a wee look on YouTube. Ha, I did know the song after all, just never cared to know the name of the person singing it!

This one's for you Tracy and Charissa:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0UT2M...

P.S. Why does he not wear socks? With tennis shoes? Gross! Oh, and most brits look like that, all pasty and skinny. In fact, for a brit he looks better than most! If you're looking for a foreign man, I suggest you stay well away from the isles!

[Meg]

it's hard to know where to begin with this post, what with working in a total bro bar in gresham where the juke box is always blarring absolute crap.

ditto to the james blunt song

i also hate:

that stupid "would you just lay (or maybe it's "stay") here and just forget the world" song

that "umbrella" song

anything by usher

and most of all i that little gem by buckcherry-
"hey you're crazy b*#% but look so good on top of me"

[Charissa]

Meg, that's 'Chasing Cars' by Snow Patrol and I happen to love that song, but only because I had brain exploding wild monkey slave girl sex to it in a cheap motel in San Jose a few years ago with someone who later turned out to be married, and now I hate him with the violent passion of ten thousand suns but I still love that song because even though it was a big lie it was still amazing sex and there was leather involved and I am a sucker for moments like that so sue me.

everybody say "Yeah!" and then "Ho!"... your milkshake brings all the boys to the yard Meg.

Amy, I'm with you... the whole no socks with tennis shoes just makes me think how stinky his feet must be when he takes them off. and he probably has really bad BO because he is so vegan he doesn't believe in soap!

[Michael]

Look, I saw that you posted your iTunes playlist on your blog and I think it's my duty to say that your music is so bad it's laughable. The "perfect" playlist that you listed just so happens to be my top ten list of most loathsome. Do people even listen to Tag Team anymore? Has anyone ever listened to Kansas? That list is mind-numbing; which is probably why you like it. I hate your music, and I hate you too.

[Xysea]

I hate Nickelback, and that chick who sings about Drew and tears on her guitar. I hate that I have to hear it while driving my 10 year old to school and I hate that I usually haven't had enough coffee at that hour to put up a decent fight.

Nyah!

[Kelly]

I hate Jessica Simpson, and anyone who idolizes her, and everything she stands for.

I also hate the fact that because I honestly don't know a lot of indie type music, people feel that they are superior to me!

[Bryan]

Natalie -- Yes, Nickelback, that's a good one.

But, c'mon guys, we're goin' after easy targets. Every person of upstanding morals and integrity is SUPPOSED to hate "My Humps." Who's gonna say they hate someone that most people love or admire?

I'll start: Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, and Pavement. I have VU's entire catalog, and a healthy chunk of Sonic Youth and Pavement, but I find all three unlistenable now. I hate art-rock.

[[deleted user]]

I hate that stupid-assed song about the Red Dress and the stupid ass that sings it. He didn't know how beautiful she was until she threw on a red, whore dress and other men started drooling over her? Nice. Asshole.

[Charissa]

I hate Johnny Mathis. I hate how when I was a Freshman in highschool I secretly loved Johnny Mathis and listened to my mom's collection of him on vinyl while everyone at my school was rocking out to Journey. I hate how one day the boy I had a crush on caught me dancing in my livingroom to Johnny Mathis in my nightgown. I hate how much of a total dork that makes me. I hate how being that much of a dork ultimately lead to my becoming someone who hates everything and fantasized about burning down her school and dosing everyone's RC Cola with LSD during Pep rallies. I hate that eventually cheerfulness made me nauseous and the color yellow made me feel violent. I blame Johnny Mathis. Damn you Johnny and your pearly, perfect smile.

[[deleted user]]

Looks like I'm a walkin' with Bryan on the path of hatred. Saying Nickelback & the Red Hot Chili Peppers (who to be fair, I do hate with a f**king passion) blow ass is like saying that Lindsey Lohan's debut album lacks tonal depth & musical integrity. On that note, I F**KING HATE Edith Piaf to a degree that it almost eclipses my hatred for all that you hold dear.

"She sounds so butch!" Oh? I didn't know that butchness was apparently synonymous
with endlessly braying caterwauling!

[Charissa]

oh Amy... I'm laughing so frickin hard right now... I just watched that James Blunt parody you linked to... oh man... I'm so not going to get any work done today. That was f*cking brilliant.

[[deleted user]]

N-Consider yourself 'judged'

Really Natalie? It sounds like you might've been better off with Mr. Blunt since you obviously can't appreciate the atonal mastery & complex structuring of Sonic Youth!

p.s. Maybe you'd enjoy that Lindsey Lohan album I was discussing earlier? It's not really my cup of tea but since you can't appreciate the melodic genius of Sonic Youth, maybe it's more up your alley!

[Meels]

I hate the "who sings this song" and the "what song is this" game. Do I have to remember the god damned name of every song and every moron who sings it? No, I don't think so, I have better things to do. So, eat me!

[Nicole]

James Blunt's crappy ass "You're Beautiful" makes me want to rip out my ear drums and force feed them to MTV and their sheep people fans.

[Xysea]

I hate that everyone feels free to bitch about the music that they hate.

And Phillip Glass? Hate with the hate of a thousand burning suns - it's like chalk on my mental chalkboard! Argh!

[Mike]

I know! How many stupid songs can you write about California?!

[Charissa]

Ko... I skipped over it just to hate on you. But now it's ruined because I'm happy you were annoyed. I hate that.

[Charissa]

Tracy... I hate that the pasty boy in that video has a home made Star Trek shirt... I thought I was the only one!!!

[[deleted user]]

California songs are cool. "California" by Phantom Planet, "Santa Monica" by Everclear ...

[Charissa]

hey, here's a question... can smooth jazz musicians sell out? Was there ever a time when smooth jazz was cool? Do people somewhere in an alternate universe that isn't the one I live in play smooth jazz for the love, and sleep on people's couches and tour in crappy VW buses in order to follow the dream?

Is there a universe where Kenny G never existed? Can we go there now?

[Jenn]

I hate you Jimmy Buffet. Oh God please, please make people stop listening to this man. It's not "feel good music" it's CRAP! And besides, anything can be called "Feel Good Music" when you've had 15 margaritas and done some whippets in the parking lot.

-Evanesence. It's irritating! Her voice makes me want to slit my own wrists.

-Nickelback. It's not even that I can't stand them, it's just all their songs sound exactly the same. EXACTLY! You can't explain to someone which Nickleback song you like but forgot the name to because you get the melodies slightly confused and that is because they all meld into one big Nickelbacky mess.

[Daniel]

I hate that none of you mentioned Chris DeBurg.

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never for get, the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red (I love you.)

[[deleted user]]

I also really liked their next TWO albums. Then their SECOND of the concept albums was a dud, and the one after that was a double dud.

[Charissa]

those lyrics made me want to claw the skin from my own face. please die now.

[Daisiemae]

I hate that you REMINDED us of that horrible Chris DeBurg song!
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth..UGH!

[Vanessa]

Since I hate you all, and especially you, Daniel, for the extreme mental suffering you have inflicted, here's some musical water-boarding:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktQtXY...

And the lyrics, just in case you want to sing along:


Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
you're a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I have no doubt
you dream about the things you never do
but I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...

Please lady please lady
don't just walk away
Cause I have this need to tell you
why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won't you share a part
of a weary heart that has lived a million lives

Oh, I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
when I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed them what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
and I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'pose to see
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie
a fantasy we created about people and places
as we like them to be
but you know what truth is?
it's that little baby you're holding
and it's that man you fought with this morning
the same one you are gonna make love to tonight
that's truth that's love

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free
hey lady I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me...

I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...

[Xysea]

Daniel,

I hate that you missed Diana saying how much she hated that Lady In Red song.

Almost as much as I hate that Stevie Wonder monstrosity, 'I Just Called To Say I Love You', which you will now hate me for putting into your head all day!

Muwahahahahaha!

[Daniel]

I hate ambiguity. I am not sure if you want me or if you really hate me...and I hate that!

[Meels]

Daisiemae, hehehe Dodgeball...

[Charissa]

I'm going to have to stop coming back to this thread. I am deeply afflicted now and it's all your fault!!!! fuck you people and the songs you hate... you're torturing me!!!

[Meels]

Seth, I have two words for you... Rod Stewart.

[[deleted user]]

Well, Daniel, you can't hate me 'cause I mentioned that stupid-assed song earlier but now I get to hate you even more for actually posting those hateful lyrics and making my shitty day even worse. May you burn in that part of hell that's reserved for people who post the lyrics to shitty Chris DeBurg songs.

[Daniel]

I hate rap. I hate the word rap. What the hell does that word really mean? One hint...it has nothing to do with music.

[Kelly]

I don't hate all rap, Elijah. I hate misogynistic violent rap, and I hate rap that is nothing but a masturbatory exercise in talking about how awesome that particular artist is (although some of that is damn hilarious- R. Kelly comes to mind). And let's be honest, how many words /really/ rhyme with "bitch"?

[Daniel]

I like the warmth thank you.

I hate people that think the same thing I do.

[[deleted user]]

Itch, snitch, kitsch, rich, lich, Mitch, ditch, eldritch, witch, which, pitch, switch ...

I could go on.

Yo, I was pimpin' on Hollywood, talkin' to some bitches ...

Then they up in my face saying, "Man, we witches!"

"We gonna roll yo ass with some spells quite eldritch ...

"Put a cap in yo ass, then bring you back as a lich."

I could go on.

[[deleted user]]

I hate the fact that Daniel will warm his feet in hell instead of frying and will thereby get away with posting loathsome lyrics. Crap.

[Meels]

I'm really not in a hater mood today, but:

Elijah, I don't like all rap, nor do I hate all rap, but I DO hate idiots that definitively belch things out in "black and white", like anything in this life is that cut and dry. "Period, end of story." Just because something is YOUR opinion does not mean any other human being on earth has to agree with you. And, that does NOT make them an idiot if they happen to not see things your way.

I hate people who think that they are "so right", that their way is the only way and that the rest of us are just too dumb to see it.

Eat me!

[Daniel]

*HUGS*

[Meels]

You are correct, I suspect, as always. And, I am a heel, I'm confident, as always. I supose I failed to see the thinly veiled humor... it felt more like a lecture... like REAL hate, instead of hater hate.

I only hater hate you Elijah...

I think I may be unstable and am seeking medical attention. I'm sure it's nothing a little EST won't cure.

I hate you for sending me to therapy of any kind!

[Meels]

I like you Elijah...I mean hate you...I mean...uh...

Shit!

I like Eminem, mainly because all girls hate him (unless they want to have sex with him) as a result of the fact that he talks shit about them. I like that he talks shit about them (uh, us?), because in too many cases it's true and besides, when I'm pissed off, nothing feels better than to sing along and shout F**K a lot while smoking a cigarette!! I have also been known to listen to a little Easy E from way back when... he was hilarious! It was all about gettin some back then!

What I HATE is Country, all that twangy whining, "my wife left me and she done took the dawg"...UGH! Though, Dolly is funny.

[[deleted user]]

Your taste in music is odious, surely engineered by your cruel psyche to turn my stomach and force the contents into the air like a geyser Vomitstone National Forest.

[Meels]

That is only a snippet to prove to Elijah that I didn't hate all rap, that is NOT a picture of my musical taste... as this is the haters club, and so to divulge all of my likes would violate the bylaws... Besides, even if it was, there is more to life than John Denver Brendan! And, you have no idea the depths to which my cruel pshyche will go to torture you! Bette Midler anyone???
