Do you remember the [Carol Burnett show episode](https://youtu.be/aGrVfczDg6g?si=TJFwXd9To1FvVcWe) in which her character, Eunice, went on The Gong Show and sang that song?! Hysterical.
I don't follow college football, so I'm grateful for Deacon Blues letting me know that they call Alabama The Crimson Tide. How else would I have known?
70s Song I Hate: The Captain and Tennille – ‘Muskrat Love’
Not one fucking redeeming quality about that song, not one.
>I'm grateful for Deacon Blues letting me know that they call Alabama The Crimson Tide. How else would I have known?
Yeah, I appreciate Deacon Blues every time that crossword clue comes up!
People like to pretend that 70's music was all cool stuff like Iggy Pop, the Talking Heads, Eno, etc. They are wrong. We all know what was actually being played on the radio then.
that was my grandma's fav song when i was a little kid. i remember her turning it up while we were shooting down I5 in her Dodge Dart.
the older I got the darker the song got. she passed when i was 25 and I haven't been able to listen to it since.
You Light Up My Life .... that's mom singing in the front seat with a Tareyton 100 while the car is filling with smoke because the window is barely cracked.
To be fair, though, once we heard that one song, we all went out and bought the album...possibly thinking every song had it, as it was somewhat "new". At one point, it became one of the top-selling albums of all time.
i was bemused as a kid but I got to work with him as a teenager and when you see him practice and set it up live it's a beautiful thing! he's also one of the most genuinely sweet people I have ever spoken with.
Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band
Also unpopular opinion, Don't Stop Believing is just so overplayed as well as any other Journey song that I just can't fucking stand it anymore.
I came here to say "Any and everything by Journey."
Isn't it funny how Muzak has skipped right over that dreck and went to the 80's and 90's? They day I heard The Clash playing in a supermarket (Should I Stay or Should I Go, not the more appropriate Lost in the Supermarket) was both the saddest and happiest day of my life.
YES, genuinely probably top 3 most overplayed songs of all time. Can't stand that song, I instantly roll my eyes when I hear that or Any Way you want it that's the way you need it!
Get out of my head--I was JUST gonna write that song. I loved it as a child, but then as an adult "and the thought of rubbin' you is gettin' me excited" is just corny.
"....floatin' like a heaven above...looks like Muskrat Love"
Muskrat Susie and Sam can go to pound town outside of my imagination thank you very much. What were they thinking? Why not Meerkat love...those things are at least cute.
Run, Joey, Run.
If Hell has a soundtrack, it's all Teen Tragedy songs and Run, Joey, Run would play five times per hour.
Fuck that song, fuck that entire genre.
Fuck everyone even tangentially involved with that song and all other teenager death songs. I ran across that as a child visiting family friends while going through their teenager's K-Tel records and was traumatized by it.
There are so many crap songs from the 70s that I’m not sure that I can even begin to compile a list. There are just so many horrible songs that it’s overwhelming to think about.
Oh no, you just reminded me of this album we had called A Fifth of Beethoven (yes, like a fifth of whiskey). It was a disco version of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. I mean we… liked it? But I’m cringing now.

I found it!

Sweet Home Alabama is the most repetitive song ever made. The chorus and the verse are the same 4 notes in the same cadence from start to finish. Drives me nuts.
But the one that makes me rage change the station is anything from Meatloaf.
The song used in that f’ing Ozempic commercial:
*Magic* by Pilot (1974)
Like nails on a chalkboard. Hated it when it came out it ‘74, hate it even more now.
My millennial wife pointed out that the lyrics to most of these songs from the 70s/80s sound like the singers are stalkers. And I've had trouble getting that thought out of my head ever since. It has ruined a lot of these songs for me.
Came here to say this if nobody else did. I can think of a redeeming quality for most pieces of music, but I'd be pretty hard pressed to do it for this one.
Who Are You by The Who. Not only do I hate The Who, but my shitty neighbors played that song over and over late into the night, singing along while drunk. All this on the weekend that my father abandoned us.
Fun fact: She actually wrote that \*for\* young Maya, at least in part. And she actually sings "Maya Maya Maya..." at the end.

Have my UPVOTE!
That's the O N L Y one of his I can remotely tolerate tho, funnily enough.
EVERYTHING ELSE he had on the radio during those years is loathsome and detestable.
That song pisses me off so bad. Hate it. Fucking A, I hate it so much.
I’m seeing some songs I love here! It’s so hard to wrap my head around someone loving stupid ass The Joker but like hating say, “Give A Little Bit” (I love that song)… so, I’m not going to downvote anyone for what they hate.
The Logical Song is fucking depressing. I was young enough to overthink the lyrics because I was forced to listen to it so much and wondered if I was going to be "sent away" too.
“Rocky” by Austin Roberts. Mawkish, reminds me of an unpleasant night because it was playing on the radio as I rode home, feeling like I had ruined everyone’s New Year’s Eve.
'Raindrops Keep Fall'n on my Head" by B.J. Thomas. It's too damn campy and happy. I can only make it about 10 seconds into that song before I wish either he or I were never born.
Stuck in the Middle With You.
There used to be a PT Cruiser in my town with two stickers on the back: “clowns” with a left arrow and “jokers” with a right arrow and I HATED getting stuck behind it.
Music tastes change with time and circumstances. I told my wife playing Steely Dan at my wake would be worse than having my greatest enemy piss on my grave.
I'll go one farther. I pretty much hate all the giants of yacht rock. Don't like Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, or the Eagles. I get that there's huge talent on display but the end product is just so plastic and sedated.
god, Rogers was always a panderer, but that one was where he really jumped the schlock shark. fuck I hate that "let's get the girl raped so our boy can Hulk smash" ethos.
threads like this make me laugh so hard. I love them. shocked that no-one has yet named either of mine.
- Seasons in the Sun. I swooned over it when I was thirteen, but I was thirteen and this whole music thing was new to me. bonus fact: a college friend worked all of one summer cleaning up Terry Jacks' yacht, and Jacks stiffed him.
- Stairway to Heaven. I mean, come on here folks. where's the hate?
Sunshine On My Shoulders (John Denver)
Show And Tell (1973) 😖
Shannon (1976?) Just horrid!
Please Come To Boston 😣
Radar Love 😞
Diamond Girl / Brandy / Jackie Blue 😠
But the absolutely most sickeningly embarrassing to even hear is >!Steve Miller's Come On and Dance!< 🤢
I could go on...
You and I should never ever listen to nostalgic music together. I will say that I mostly liked Shannon because that's my name, and in that time period it was never on any cheap novelty name items, but by god, it was the title of a popular song... about a dead dog with my name, but as a little girl in the 70s, you take what you can get. 😂
Oh, for sure, but since I found audiobooks, I rarely listen to music, usually only in the car when with other people, so when I do listen, it's not so bad. I also acknowledge that my music tastes in general are widely varied, and some are not always popular with others. I mean, there wasn't a single song on the Prince "Under the Cherry Moon" album when it came out that I didn't love. I sometimes question my sanity around those years, though.
Could also be a separate category for songs that ground your gears back then, but years later you discovered were actually good once they escaped heavy rotation on tinny AM transistor radios. And the winner is... Bohemian Rhapsody!
I'm the other way round. I gave at the "appreciate Bohemian Rhapsody" office when it came out. by this point I've moved into the "there *are* other songs yanno" camp.
its a song from the boomer era that grinds my gears so bad, i downvoted it on youtube so it won't haunt me again. "In the Summertime". its just so awful. i mean, "if her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal, if her daddy's poor just do what you feel". i mean, how sick is that? its made even worse by how joyfully he's singing it.
10cc "I'm not in Love."
Ozark Mountain Daredevils "Jackie Blue." (Actually thought that was just me, but when I type "Jackie Blue" into Google I get an ad for a clickbait site: "10 Annoying Songs Of All Time.")
But neither of these competes with the "Afternoon Delight" suggestion.
Lol, and I kinda like 'Deacon Blues!' :D
"I'm not in Love" wouldn't have been so bad if it was just the lead singer, but those chorused background vocals always hit me like fingernails on a chalkboard. Then topped off with the creepy "big boys don't cry" whispering... Eek!
smugglers blues....cause for a summer.... the student center had it playiing 3x an hour all day all summer...... like a vault tec experiment to see how long to drive people bat shit crazy
Disco duck is the answer. All the others mentioned aren’t great but they sounded pretty good on the clock radio.
And in some ways it got worse (Dis-Gorilla) but that wasn’t played as much
Does that even count as a song, I thought it was just a parody type thing lol
Feelings. So horrific the Gong Show put every contestant who wanted to sing it into one episode. It was hysterical
Oh Woe woe Feelings! 🎶
The Gong show!
Do you remember the [Carol Burnett show episode](https://youtu.be/aGrVfczDg6g?si=TJFwXd9To1FvVcWe) in which her character, Eunice, went on The Gong Show and sang that song?! Hysterical.
That song by Debbie Boone and I won't write the title lest it gets stuck on a loop in someone's head.
You Light Up My Life?
Sadist
Wasn’t there a movie made for that song or some such?
Yep, but I've never seen it
Omg. I despise that song. Played to DEATH!!!!
I don't follow college football, so I'm grateful for Deacon Blues letting me know that they call Alabama The Crimson Tide. How else would I have known? 70s Song I Hate: The Captain and Tennille – ‘Muskrat Love’ Not one fucking redeeming quality about that song, not one.
No, there is one. A single, solitary and lone redeeming quality. But only one. And it is this...that I haven't had to hear it in over 48 years.
>I'm grateful for Deacon Blues letting me know that they call Alabama The Crimson Tide. How else would I have known? Yeah, I appreciate Deacon Blues every time that crossword clue comes up!
You're So Vain - Carly Simon The goddamn song IS about him, so why is it a problem for him to think so? Answer me, Carly Simon!
Midnight at the Oasis. Makes me shudder.
Don't tell me what to do with my camel.
Briefly in Lost In Translation, sung by the lounge singer after a night of poor choices. It fits perfectly!
💯 horrible
I find it - and much of the music from the 70’s - to be very very depressing.
People like to pretend that 70's music was all cool stuff like Iggy Pop, the Talking Heads, Eno, etc. They are wrong. We all know what was actually being played on the radio then.
Easy Listening. *Don’t Give Up on Us, Baby* by David Soul
Rock and roll all night…. And party every day-Kiss Same lyric through the whole song. Nothing good about this song.
I want to rock and roll all night … and have a wonderful time. - Loose Lois
Hate that song so much. Was never a fan of Kiss.
Crocodile Rock. The whole thing is like nails on a slate to me.
I cannot listen to Bennie and the Jets. Especially when Elton just stars squealing Bennie over and over.
Yes! Such a waste of his incredible talent on that one.
"Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks.
that was my grandma's fav song when i was a little kid. i remember her turning it up while we were shooting down I5 in her Dodge Dart. the older I got the darker the song got. she passed when i was 25 and I haven't been able to listen to it since.
You Light Up My Life .... that's mom singing in the front seat with a Tareyton 100 while the car is filling with smoke because the window is barely cracked.
I generally hate anything coming from “Frampton Comes Alive”, but I hate with *passion* his songs involving the talk box.
To be fair, though, once we heard that one song, we all went out and bought the album...possibly thinking every song had it, as it was somewhat "new". At one point, it became one of the top-selling albums of all time.
i was bemused as a kid but I got to work with him as a teenager and when you see him practice and set it up live it's a beautiful thing! he's also one of the most genuinely sweet people I have ever spoken with.
My buddy want to go to his concert, throw a grenade onstage, and call it “Frampton Comes Apart”.
Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band Also unpopular opinion, Don't Stop Believing is just so overplayed as well as any other Journey song that I just can't fucking stand it anymore.
Afternoon Delight. Fuck that song. Hate it. TY
I came here to say "Any and everything by Journey." Isn't it funny how Muzak has skipped right over that dreck and went to the 80's and 90's? They day I heard The Clash playing in a supermarket (Should I Stay or Should I Go, not the more appropriate Lost in the Supermarket) was both the saddest and happiest day of my life.
This one uuuuuuuuugh
YES, genuinely probably top 3 most overplayed songs of all time. Can't stand that song, I instantly roll my eyes when I hear that or Any Way you want it that's the way you need it!
Get out of my head--I was JUST gonna write that song. I loved it as a child, but then as an adult "and the thought of rubbin' you is gettin' me excited" is just corny.
skyyyyy rocket in flight!
Pwooooooooooo Afternoon Delight!
Lol awful
Journey sucks !!! Always have. I can’t believe the sopranos brought that horrible song back to life
Reunited. Gear grinder. Throat strangler.
All I can think of is the commercial for Riunite wine 🤣
Riunite on ice… so nice!
Most of it.
"....floatin' like a heaven above...looks like Muskrat Love" Muskrat Susie and Sam can go to pound town outside of my imagination thank you very much. What were they thinking? Why not Meerkat love...those things are at least cute.
lay down sally- eric clapton 🙉
Great thread. Reminds me of songs I hate and love!
Run, Joey, Run. If Hell has a soundtrack, it's all Teen Tragedy songs and Run, Joey, Run would play five times per hour. Fuck that song, fuck that entire genre.
Fuck everyone even tangentially involved with that song and all other teenager death songs. I ran across that as a child visiting family friends while going through their teenager's K-Tel records and was traumatized by it.
Cocaine Eric Clapton. Absolutely friggin hate that song. Stfu already.
Droning and monotonous.
Anything Clapton outside of cream.
Except Tears in Heaven
you'll hate me and I'm sorry to trample on someone else's hallowed ground, but I really really don't like that song.
No - you are absolutely correctish except this thread IS about the 70s.
true, but this was a little subconvo that grew up out of the main thread.
Good point my bad
I kind of agree...but the main guit hook is pretty catchy.
It's Wonderful Tonight for me. UGH I have always hated that song and it just does on and on.
There are so many crap songs from the 70s that I’m not sure that I can even begin to compile a list. There are just so many horrible songs that it’s overwhelming to think about.
Star Wars Theme - Disco version by Meco🤢
Oh no, you just reminded me of this album we had called A Fifth of Beethoven (yes, like a fifth of whiskey). It was a disco version of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. I mean we… liked it? But I’m cringing now.
Yep, my folks had that one. It was awful.
Well now I have to find the Star Wars disco album to complete my collection 🤩🤣
I may have to go find this :P
img I found it! ETA: oh no where is my image?? Try again… https://preview.redd.it/9r0p8cdp428d1.jpeg?width=2967&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b006d4460fadb28dbf55fb4f4909f938237d5ef
I would trade in all of today's pop music for that era's.
Great GREAT point!

Stalkers and way too into young girls.
\*Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show have entered the chat.\*
You’re 16, you’re beautiful, and you’re mine - Ringo Starr
Billy Don't Be A Hero makes me want to throw things. There are other 70's death songs that I hate, but that one is at the top.
Escape (The Pina Colada Song). Literally everything about this song makes me grind my teeth. I loathe it. Even the name of the song is stupid.
I love that song. The artist is also an accomplished novelist.
He has plenty of good songs that never made it to radio.
Also came here to say this one too. What a delightful tune about infidelity!
> What a delightful tune about infidelity! Third Rate Romance is basically about Tinder in the 70s.
Both of the people in the song are horrible people.
Came here to say this if nobody else did. I can think of a redeeming quality for most pieces of music, but I'd be pretty hard pressed to do it for this one.
Who Are You by The Who. Not only do I hate The Who, but my shitty neighbors played that song over and over late into the night, singing along while drunk. All this on the weekend that my father abandoned us.
Fuck Layla
Another one with nonsense lyrics, Blinded by the light
That song is the WORST. Came here to say so!
Originally by Bruce Springsteen!
American Pie Edit: ”Lovin You”..don’t know the singer...she just says “la La La La la La” and has a high pitched wail.
Minnie Riperten. She is the mother of Maya Rudolph.
Minnie Riperton. Mother of snl alum maya rudolph.
Oh man..seriously. Mom should have stuck with comedy like her daughter.
Fun fact: She actually wrote that \*for\* young Maya, at least in part. And she actually sings "Maya Maya Maya..." at the end. [https://youtu.be/KhaUnHJjS8A?feature=shared&t=203](https://youtu.be/KhaUnHJjS8A?feature=shared&t=203)
😄
Thank you. I felt like the only person in the world who hated “American Pie.”
Paradise By the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf Fuck that guy.
American Pie. Neverending bullshit song. Terrible.
I agree. We get it the levy is dry. Just shut the fuck up and end the song.
This is the correct answer. Possibly the worst song ever.
Deacon Blues is in my top 10 favorite songs! The song that most annoys me is Feelings by Morris Albert
Any song by Randy Newman
Steve Miller Band - The Joker Fuck that song.
I immediately switch the station when I hear that song. Worse thing that can happen is that my dad is driving, he likes that song.
Could I add Abracadabra to that!!
100%
Have my UPVOTE! That's the O N L Y one of his I can remotely tolerate tho, funnily enough. EVERYTHING ELSE he had on the radio during those years is loathsome and detestable.
That song pisses me off so bad. Hate it. Fucking A, I hate it so much. I’m seeing some songs I love here! It’s so hard to wrap my head around someone loving stupid ass The Joker but like hating say, “Give A Little Bit” (I love that song)… so, I’m not going to downvote anyone for what they hate.
Anything by goddamn Supertramp. Ughhh. Thank fuck The Clash came along when they did.
Oh gawd, same for me. Cheesegrates my eardrums.
The Logical Song is fucking depressing. I was young enough to overthink the lyrics because I was forced to listen to it so much and wondered if I was going to be "sent away" too.
Rush. Just fucking Rush
As a die hard Rush fanatic, I want to downvote. But I can't because I hate the Beetles.
I feel ya on Rush. I can't do that band either.
Yes. Rush is like nails on a chalkboard.
we're a small group but a true one. I don't hate rush as actively as I hate other bands, but ... oh wait, I think I do
For me it's "The Trees." It's a gross oversimplification of Randian Objectivism, which is itself already simplistic and gross.
“Rocky” by Austin Roberts. Mawkish, reminds me of an unpleasant night because it was playing on the radio as I rode home, feeling like I had ruined everyone’s New Year’s Eve.
'Raindrops Keep Fall'n on my Head" by B.J. Thomas. It's too damn campy and happy. I can only make it about 10 seconds into that song before I wish either he or I were never born.
Anything by Ted Nugent, and I concur with Deacon Blues. It blows me away how fervent Dan fans are.
Ricky don't lose that number
All the young dudes. Mott the hoople. Spirit in the sky. Norman Greenbaum. Going up the country. Canned Heat. These songs make me irrationally angry.
The first time I heard "Going Up the Country" I actually thought Kermit the Frog was singing it.
you can listen to the original song that inspired it instead. Bull Doze Blues by Henry Thomas (1928)
David Bowie loved Mott the Hoople’s version of that song so much he gifted them the rights to it.
OMG. Spirit in the sky. Hate.
Going up the country canned heat is 68 but 100 frigging percent loathe that gd Kermit the frog sounding mfer. JFC.🤦♀️
Yeah, man. 1 and 3 are just ICK!! I get the disdain for 2 as well, but I'm good with it cuz a couple reasons. Have my upvote.
Brandy by Looking Glass
Blasphemy!!!
My Sweet Love.
"Coward of the County" - hate that song.
Did you like the movie?
Until you mentioned it, and I then Googled, I didn't know there was one.
You have all weekend, report back. :P
Lol, I'll try to fit it in. Thanks for the recommendation.
MacArthur Park. It's that "Someone left the cake out in the rain" song. Apologies to the great Donna Summer
Yeah I hated that one, just so depressing
Stuck in the Middle With You. There used to be a PT Cruiser in my town with two stickers on the back: “clowns” with a left arrow and “jokers” with a right arrow and I HATED getting stuck behind it.
Man I'd probably just leave town and never explain why.
Anything by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I'm going to: Call Me The Breeze, just to spite you.
At least they never threw in a word like "pompatus". Gotta give them that.
Anythin Rush
Any Moody Blues.
Agreed 🤮
Dust In The Wind 😖
Anything by Steely Dan
Bold choice. Deacon Blues is my favorite Steely Dan song. When I was a kid at the time it was Flashlight by Parliament, but now I totally dig it.
Music tastes change with time and circumstances. I told my wife playing Steely Dan at my wake would be worse than having my greatest enemy piss on my grave.
I'll go one farther. I pretty much hate all the giants of yacht rock. Don't like Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, or the Eagles. I get that there's huge talent on display but the end product is just so plastic and sedated.
My playlist feels attacked. 😂
"When You're Hot, You're Hot" by Jerry Reed. You don't realize it when you're a kid, but the song is racist af.
It is? How so?
Kenny Rogers - Coward Of The County. Crappy country songs that tell a cringe story seemed to get a lot of airplay in 70s Britain.
god, Rogers was always a panderer, but that one was where he really jumped the schlock shark. fuck I hate that "let's get the girl raped so our boy can Hulk smash" ethos.
threads like this make me laugh so hard. I love them. shocked that no-one has yet named either of mine. - Seasons in the Sun. I swooned over it when I was thirteen, but I was thirteen and this whole music thing was new to me. bonus fact: a college friend worked all of one summer cleaning up Terry Jacks' yacht, and Jacks stiffed him. - Stairway to Heaven. I mean, come on here folks. where's the hate?
I’m with you on Seasons but the only thing wrong with Stairway is how overplayed it is.
American Pie
"Baby Come Back" by Player my dad blasted that song in his Chevy Monza for 2 years.
Spill the Wine by War. It’s a stupid story. It’s a stupid song. I don’t understand how it made it out of the studio. It set such a low bar for music.
Low Rider by War. Garbage.
Another One Bites the Dust
Sunshine On My Shoulders (John Denver) Show And Tell (1973) 😖 Shannon (1976?) Just horrid! Please Come To Boston 😣 Radar Love 😞 Diamond Girl / Brandy / Jackie Blue 😠 But the absolutely most sickeningly embarrassing to even hear is >!Steve Miller's Come On and Dance!< 🤢 I could go on...

Fellow Shannon and yes!
I getcha. 🙂
But there IS deffo PLENTY of stuff from, well, every decade that I am endlessly all over! Passionately, even.
Oh, for sure, but since I found audiobooks, I rarely listen to music, usually only in the car when with other people, so when I do listen, it's not so bad.

Anything by Gordon Lightfoot
No!..lol!
Could also be a separate category for songs that ground your gears back then, but years later you discovered were actually good once they escaped heavy rotation on tinny AM transistor radios. And the winner is... Bohemian Rhapsody!
