Songs that trigger... nausea... (Page 2)

AAcck! I love that whole album (Faith) by George Michael. But even I'll admit it's a guilty pleasure at best.

you asked for songs: i second the "its raining men" and "oh what a night" i will pull a muscle if necessary reaching to change the station if those tunes come on

i also HATE "The Cars" "Steely Dan" "Kenny G"  "Joe Cocker" there might be more, but i'm drawing a blank

Hmmmm...The Cars...I think I may have spent my entire Junior year of high school listening to them, Huey Lewis and the News, Boston, and yes...Devo...

I'm pretty sure my tastes have changed, but it always brings back so much nostalgia when songs from any of those groups come on...

I agree. Even the lame 80s songs bring back memories of my care-free teenage years, so I don't really find any of the 80s songs nauseating even if they deserve to be labelled as nauseating.

The Bear likes George Michael. Who'da thunk it. Liking George Michael is grounds for revocation of your man card. You already shave your legs, so...

{Actually, some of his stuff ain't that bad.}

I'm with you and Sparco on this.  The song that nauseates me is "Ain't Nothin' Gonna Break My Stride".  That is seriously painful stuff.  It was on the air constantly when I was in college.  I haven't heard it in years, but the second I saw the title of this thread that song got stuck in my head... thanks for that  .

It was "Free"

I can remember calling the radio station during "request hour" and telling the DJ to "Play anything you want but don't play no stinkin' Journey!"

Here's my top 10

10.  "Macarena" by Los Del Rio
9.  "I shot the sheriff" by Eric Clapton
8.  "Take a chance on me" by ABBA
7.  "Your song" by Elton John
6.  "I just called to say I love you" by Stevie Wonder
5.  "Bicycle race" by Queen
4.  "Wake me up before you go-go" by Wham
3.  "Seasons in the sun" by Terry Jacks
2.  "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston

And the #1 most nauseous song of all time...

1.  "Orange Crush" by R.E.M.

Heh...I just went to the Toby Keith concert last night (don't ask) and I'm ashamed to admit my toes were tapping a little bit.

Otherwise I agree with you.

Amen to that...he annoys me to no end.

Music that needs to get its liverz stabbed

1980's Hair metal in general
Journey
Nickleback
Anything that has ever appeared on a mega-church powerpoint sing-along
Celine Dieon
John Tesch
Michael Bolton

Neo-celtic riverdance-inspired claptrap

I like Max's top ten.

Gotta add anything by "Ace of Base" - Debbie Gibson and Tiffany from the 80s. UGH!

If he "only does remakes," why are you blaming him for the lyrics?

Some of his bigger songs ("Bad to the Bone," "I Drink Alone" are originals.

Yep..they made me gag even back then!

there's a lot of hate in this thread!  Let it out, people. 

And as far as Bear liking George Michael's music goes, you don't surrender your man card if you can pull that off AND have no problem admitting it.  In fact, it gets you the "I don't give a f- cuz my manliness is not determined by what you think of my musical taste" gold star on the card.  But you only get one so he's already covered.

Post. Of. The. Day.

Now be a man, and go take those spoke reflectors off of your bike.

Oh, and non-apologetically, the AMG review of Faith (emphasis added):
