thought it might be an interesting thread. its a tossup between white christmas and anything by emminem! still... there's always the barney song, or that stupid song about signs: sign sign everywhere a sign.... hmmmm, i guess its a good question, lol!
definitely..the Crash Test Dummies..."Hmm Hmm Hmm" I really hate that song. Along with anything ever done by both Knickleback and Creed.
Ok....the number 1 all time crap song is.....Muscratt Love by the Captain and Tenille. The number 2 all time crappo is....My Ding a Ling. And bringing up the rear...literally is.....ALL RAP! ( I know some of you like it but its ALL crap to me, so keep it to yourself) Of course these are my opinions but alot of people agree with me.(at least those who know whats REALLY happenin')
i'd say "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. Riding back home with my parents today and it came on the radio. yeah....they BLASTED it. so i'm feeling particuarly anti-whitney at the moment....
I object to any music that becomes popular only because of promotion, and not because the music is any good. The Cheeky Girls are a good example of this. Anyone who thinks rap isn't "real music" is confused about what music is.
Yeah,just because my husband is 59 years old and has been a musician for a better part of those years and we have a recording studio in our house and he gives lessons and has played with Delbert Mclinton, Bobby Brooks, Amy Ferebee, and sat in with Lonnie Mack when he was in Cinncinnati and I play the guitar and sing....we are so confused over what real Music is. REAL MUSIC takes TALENT.......Anyone can yell and walk around holding their crotch and use cuss words. I learned how to rhyme before i went to school.So thats no big deal. Put an instrument in their hands and watch the dumb look on their face, tell them to actually sing some melody...or even some harmony and....duh. As i said in my other post I know some of you like this stuff...but in my opinion it is just more loudmouth noise...and they are laughing at the people who will actually spend money coming to see them and buy their cd's.....some of them think the more nasty and crude the better, when I was 10 we thought is was cool to cuss too......... I tried to listen to this stuff a few times and the only way I can stomach it is if its incorporated into a song like with what the 'Bare Naked Ladies' do or some of the more streamlined bands...like when Areosmith did "Walk this way' with a bit of rap from ...can't remember. Adding another layer to a song with a bit of something different can be pleasing to the ear, but not just a steady stream of noise. Music is a personal thing, such as Art is. We like what we like. As some of the music I listen to would be crap to you......I like Salsa and I'm sure some turn their nose up to that and would say"turn that crap off" and I would respect that. But the disgusting rap that I heard coming from a parked car at the gas station one day blew me away...especially after i saw the little girl who looked like she was about 7 sitting in the back seat, it looked like she was with her older brother and another young guy. The rap was about this guy doing something to your momma where the sun don't shine and the "chorus" was about getting his certain body part sucked...this was blaring.... nope. sorry, nothing redeeming that i can hear........ And yes, I do know that not all of rap is about cussing. Still just noise to me.
Its not whether you like it or not but can you tolerate it? Tolerance is the path to understanding it. besides...........dont you think there are alot of similarities between rap and subterranean homesick blues....or any beat poetry?
