Not a bad list, but does it count when you pick a song (Dear Prudence) that you played on?

lol, this list feels like an attack on this board:

Everyone will be either nodding or saying “HEY!” except for Revbob who hates everything.

Brown Eyed Girl is a great song.

Everything else I saw is spot on awful.

I fucking HATE Brown Eyed Girl. I don't know if it's because it's overplayed to fuck because I can't remember a time when it wasn't overplayed to fuck. It came on the other day in the work van and I actually started hitting the radio in frustration, and I'm normally a chilled bloke

It’s a great song. Not it’s fault that it’s overplayed. I don’t particularly enjoy it myself but I can recognize how good it is. Also Carrie brownsteins reasoning of “all the boys that had crushes on me made me mixed tapes” had me rolling my eyes.

Because you sent your crushes bran muffins instead?

I'm with it, those songs are all awful, ESPECIALLY "Africa" and "We Didn't Start the Fire"

*edit* I don't hate the Blind Melon song, and I'm indifferent to Brown Eyed Girl.

I agree with this post. I don't think No Rain is that terrible, it was just ruined by the obnoxious Bee Girl.

Surprised to see Madness in there but I do love that song. One of the few instrumentals that holds my attention for the whole song.

Isn’t Personal Jesus from 1990?

I thought so, too - so I looked it up. The single was released in August 1989 - so guess it just makes the cut.

And I must be the only person in the world who loves Ob-la-Di.

Yep. When I was at school we used to have to sing Beatles songs ( we blamed hippy teachers)and to us it was the worst thing in the world. We would sit in silence refusing to join in until evicted from room which meant crafty smoke in toilets on way to headmasters office.
Obla Di was on that list with Maxwells Silver Hammer, Hey Jude, Yellow Submarine..

Yep I fucking hate Obla Di. Terrible song really bad.

[Marky Dread]

I actively dislike all but two on that list. But which two?

The only two I ldont mind are Hall & Oates and Van Morrison. The rest do very little for me.

Van Morrison OK, but Hall & Oates? I really can't go for that

I prefer Maneater but I like it well enough.

I would have told you this if I had seen this post, of course. (smug)

Violator came out in 1990, the PJ single came out in '89.

1990 is officially the last year of the 1980s. #neildegrassetyson

Well, I’ll be damned. For some reason I thought Enjoy the Silence was released before Personal Jesus, but I am mistaken. I definitely heard the former first.

Pink Floyd, I guess? What a dire collection of bands to have to consider and rank.
