I loved shiny happy people lol
I feel lie this is part of being a performer. You’ll have parts of your repertoire that you’ll love so much. They’ll be fun to play, they’ll give you some good vibes, they’ll be your favorite song. But you’ll also have songs that you begin to resent. Whether it’s overplaying, or just the fact that it doesn’t gel with you from the beginning, there’s always that one song you just hate. Sometimes it’ll grow on you. Sometimes it won’t.
How can Stairway to Heaven not be number 1. It is possibly the biggest rock song of all time.
I heard Steve from Smash Mouth came to hate his own creation “all star”
Who is Mandy More? never heard of her
This list SHOULD have had Jani Lane in it.
For those who don’t know, Jani Lane was the lead singer of the hair metal band Warrant. They were busy recording an album which due to be released as “Uncle Tom’s cabin” when their record company asked for a single. Using Aerosmith’s “Love in an elevator” as a reference, Lane wrote a song which changed his life…and not for the better.
That song “Cherry Pie” became the band’s biggest hit and their biggest stumbling block. Because all of a sudden everything is Cherry Pie, the album is released as “Cherry Pie”, Lane is asked to host Cherry Pie eating contests, the record company is constantly bugging him for more Cherry Pie.
Lou Reed once said that the marking on his grave stone would be “doot-tee-doot-doot-tee-doot-doot-tee-doot” in Lane’s case, it would be “Cherry Pie” the song he hated the most.
I thought there would be at least one Beatles track on this list
well..sucks for them but im happy they play all these on the radio.. so yay? :P.
Wait Madonna hates Like a Virgin? I know she hates Material Girl
5:51 pants are so tight you see the shape of his junk
