Jolene. That song brings me out in a rash, I hate the melody, I hate the lyrics I even hate the sound of Dolly's normally terrific voice.

Merle Travis, eh? Well, I guess that just goes to show that even the best musicians can lay an egg every now and then.

What Joe Casey ,Gene Jones ,Jim Cohen and Leroy Riggs said . Yet it seems that it is requested at every gig I am involved in !!
Oh well , I'm glad these old hands can still fulfill those requests although certainly not like anything like as good as the Charleton , Rhodes version .

I used to play Blue Skirt Waltz long ago, and that song ALWAYS packed the floor with dancers. Every one loved it.

I have a lot of "most hated songs" as I'm sure we all do.
But I agree with Donny, "I walk the Line" and "Folsom prison blues "are definitely two I don't like.....al Image

The one I can't stand is the theme from "the Love Boat". I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this tune, unless it's automatically taken for granted that everyone hates it. Gotta be the least popular song in the world.

Thanks for opening Pandora's box, fellas! I've got that blasted Gilbert O'Sullivan song stuck in my head. Image The only thing that is annoying enough to displace it is Mandy by Barry Manilow- or anything by William Shatner!! Image

If I hear umm-pa, umm-pa, umm-pa-a-mau,mau, one more time I will scream. Elvira is the third worst song of all time, only behind Ackey Breaky Heart and Toot Toot. My opinion notwithstanding, I would like to have the royalties off them..

Mary Chapin Carpenter..a song that she recorded that has the most disgusting rhythm. I HATE that song for no other reason than the rhythm section. My senior moment works %100 so I can not remember the title.

I love a rainy night, I love a rainy night, I love a rainy night, I love a rainy night, ad nauseum. ( I think I'm just jealous because no one would record my cover tune: I love a Sunny Day!) Image

BOY !!! I must be the weird one here. I like about 95% of all the songs listed here, and actually can't think of one that I actually hate enough to turn off every time I hear it. They always said that I marched to the beat of a different drum compared to everybody else !!! OH WELL !!!

I ask you ... is it bad karma or what? "Tammy" shows up my list AND a tab request in the same week? I think Pandora must be lurking around.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Andy Volk on 03 February 2002 at 06:56 AM.]</p></FONT>

John P, you're a rare one my friend. I think it's been the so called perfect country and western song, You Never Called me by my Name for a long time now. Coe has never been my favorite on anything he does. Lately it's Be My Baby Tonight. Nobody ever applauds or dances and this guy keeps calling that tune. I can't figure it out.

On the bandstand, it's "Old Time Rock and Roll". I really hate playing that song.

On the radio, it's "This Kiss". Grates on my nerves for some reason.

I like SGR (I even sing it Image) and a lot of the other tunes mentioned, but I've been getting pretty tired of 50's tunes lately. I mean, "Johnny B. Goode" was an oldie when I was a teen. Image

How bout "Gimme a reason", by Tracy Chapman and UGH, "Mambo #5". Edited to fix my mistake, I guess the title is actually "Gimme one reason".<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Jim Phelps on 06 February 2002 at 03:43 PM.]</p></FONT>

Played with a guitarist who thought his version of "Last Date" (played by him on guitar) was gods gift. I remember my last week with that group the harmonica player and I counted down the nights to the final Last Date!

What!?!? I thought we were talking about Country songs! Since we're obviously not, let me add "Mellow Yellow", "Winchester Cathedrel", "Tiptoe Through The Tulips", and "The Times They Are 'a Changin" (along with EVERYTHING else Bob Dylan ever attempted to sing...and I use the term "sing" very loosely).
