Alanis's music is fake. She doesn't write her own stuff, and so it's
like she throws in this false anguish yet she's yammering about stuff
she's never experienced. So, I think the extreme repulsion stems from
people simply not liking being lied to or pandered. People see through
that. She is singing what sells, not because she has anything to say.
Seger? Eh. I dunno. I just can't deal with him.
Eddie Money needs to go away. They keep playing him on the radio here
and it needs to stop. Even the name... Eddie Money? Come on.

I like Bob Seger, but it's more because I have happy memories
associated with his music. I love "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man",
though...great beat and I can yell it while driving. =)

most of the songs by Mariah Carey-- she's got a great voice and to her
credit does covers, but she comes across as really really conceited.
"God Bless America" because Irving Berlin insulted the rest of the world by
implying that America is God's favorite country, and that it belongs to
God. This song is the reason Woody Guthrie wrote "This Land is YOUR Land...
this land is OUR land"
"Sooo..Sooo...Sooodio" (or however its spelled) Phil Collins-- Good thing
Phil did this on a solo album and didnt insult Genisis by putting it on
one of theirs!
Olivia Newton John, "Lets get physical"-- you'll notice Olivia's career
didnt exactly stay hot after this was released.

I could do without hearing anything done by a band assembled purely
by music agents trying to make a buck off of hype. Singers who can't,
meaningless songs that can't even avoid repeating themselves, and
"musicians" who might know two chords are teeming like flies on a corpse.
I listen to public radio to avoid having to deal with this junk, but
one song which keeps repeating "when the dogs begin to smell her"
somehow was played around me long enough to recall as an exemplar.
Put them out of my misery now, please.
I shall only mention genres which could go away: rap, the Jamaican
version (I think) known as "ska", "Christian" rock (what did the
apostles say about being publicly and obviously pious?)
Re #28: If you want fake, think about whats-her-name who won a
CMA award for "Blue". At her age she had no idea what being
blue was about, and you could hear it in every note.

Lee Anne Rimes must die. Slowly and painfully.

Radio and MTV have tried very very hard to kill Christian Rock. Heh.
Okay, numerous songs annoy me like this, but "Jump" by Van Halen is the
absolute worst of the bunch.

Christian rock isn't ALL bad. No, I don't listen to it anymore. But I
think their motive, for the most part, is to give Christian kids
something cool to listen to. I mean, they aren't gonna listen to gospel.
So they use the lyrics to project their beliefs. And since it's usually
Christian kids listening to this stuff, it's not like they're imposing a
view upon them. It's something the kids already accept.
And yeah Christian music can suck as much as anything else.

It's amazing how much of the music here is stuff I've enjoyed listening
to - even Alanis Marmoset. I hate 50s "doo wop" music (duke duke duke
duke of earl duke duke... :P). Those songs drive me up the wall.
Like many people, I once liked Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall",
but now despise it.

a lot of mainstream acts are borderline christian acts-- U2 comes to mind.
There are a lot of religious references in their music. Elvis Presley
released whole albums of christian religious music. So did Johnny Cash.
Leann Rimes has a nice voice, but ten years from now she'll be doing
dinner theater in Jersey City, New Jersey like Deborah (Debbie)
Gibson-- her marketability will fade as she ages. You can sell
a million records one day and wake up a few years later and noone
has ever heard of you. Its a recurring theme of the VH1 Behind the
Music documentaries.
For instance, I'd list New Kids on the Block in this item, because
I hated their music, but they are long gone. Sold ten million albums
back in the late 80's but now who cares.
Andy Warhol was right!

Except that Deborah is a long way from the dinner theater circuit. Believe
it or not she has enough legit Broadway credits behind her to keep her out
of Jersey City for quite a while.

I don't think LeeAnn Rimes will fade out quite like Debbie G. has.
LeeAnn's songs, while not earth-shattering, are not the cheesy teen pop
crap that Debbie did. She has much more vocal talent than Debbie ever
had.
New Kids... bleh. I hated them when they were popular, when I was in
high school. I recall my dad asking me if I liked them. I replied that
they gave me intestinal cramps. He smiled and said, "Ahhh, I'm proud of
ya, sweetie." My parents were also relieved I wasn't into Prince/the
Purple Rain era crap. They even like Pink Floyd.

re #31: not quite sure what you're trying to say, but ska is not
the Jamaican version of rap but a rhythm'n'blues=influenced precursor
to reggae with a distinctive beat and traditionally horn-heavy
instrumentation.. perhaps you're thinking of toasting, raggamuffin,
or dancehall?
also, despite the amount of crappy ska and ska-hybrids being turned
out these days I'd be pretty sad if the whole genre went away -- it
includes some of my very favorite music..

Mmm, I thought ska and reggae co-evolved. Certainly there's a lot of
similarity between first-wave ska and reggae, and many of the central artists
of first-wave are also reggae performers.

Erm...
"The Little Drummer Boy" by ANYONE (I hate hate hate that song)
and anything by the guy with the high voice whose name I am blanking on
but who sang things like "Walk Like A Man" (funny song for someone who
sounds like a castrato to sing, I woulda thunk...)

song, which I kinda like.

I was most fond of New Kids on the Block. <grins> But then I was a young
teen wtih poor taste in music. <chuckles>
As for Debbie Gibson, well, I liked her too... And didn't she just
finish playing Sandy in Grease on Broadway?
