I think I held back Tickler. Some of my most hated bands are Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Smiths, Morrissey, Genesis and New Order, but they are all far from being untalented and insignificant.

Now, why in the hell could I forget faux-rockers Bon Jovi? Living On A Prayer sucks bad.

As a completely nerdy aside, "I Am Superman" is a cover, rather than an R.E.M. original. Has anyone actually ever heard the original version of the song, by whoever the hell did it?

I did know that they didn't write it, but I never knew it was a cover. I don't like R.E.M. at all, but they are talented. That song really sucks however.

shes like the wind.-patrick swayze. i was on my way to collingwood when i was about 17. that song came on the radio and my buddy driving, turned up the radio. i looked at him with disgust when all of the sudden the words "SHE PASSES WIND" came out. i never laughed so hard in my life. it was some sort of weird al or somethin. the story goes that my friend was pissed the whole day that someone would ruin such a classic swayze hit. but me, it kept me smilin and laughin till we hit the slopes. so remember to sing, "SHE PASSES WIND, THROUGH HER CHEEKS" EVERYTIME YOU HEAR THAT TUNE. IT MAKES IT SOOOO MUCH BETTER. therefore i cant put it on my list of dislikes because i substitute the words and laugh my ass off!!!!

lemon, by u2, when the entire album of zooropa came out i almost cried because it was the first time one of my favourite bands put out a sh!tty album and i didn't know that happened all the time. (i was about ten-years old at the time) pre-zooropa u2 is still one of my favourite bands though.

Sunday Morning After

Written by - Amanda Marshall, Billy Mann & Molecules

From - Everybody's Got a Story

(Cell phone ringing)

Amanda:

Uh, hello?

Guy:

Where are you?

Amanda:

What time is it?

Guy:

Um...it's...1:30...in the afternoon

Amanda:

Uh

Guy:

Are you alright?

Amanda:

Hang on

I woke up with a killer hangover

Hope it was worth all this pain

(I'd do it all over again)

By the time the party was over

Tequila was my claim to fame

(I couldn't remember my name)

I was dancing with Jake

When I last saw my keys

That was my first mistake

'Cause what happened to me? (Oh...)

I look down at my arm, baby

And something's lookin' back at me

And I cannot believe it

Chorus:

Oh my God!

I woke up with a snake tattoo

Oh my God!

And I think that my tongue's pierced, too

Oh my God! Oh my God!

It's the Sunday morning after and baby who the hell are you?

(Ah...woo hoo hoo!)

I remember yelling, 'Hey DJ!

Jack the volume, I love this song!'

(And then it all gets hazy)

And my clothes are selling on E-bay (Click me)

And I don't know what I'm gonna put on

(Where were my friends to save me?)

I blacked out I came to

And it's all such a blur

Had a blast, I assume

But I'm really not sure

Exactly where am I now, baby

Wake up and tell me your name (Excuse me)

'Cause this is insane!

Chorus

(Oh my God! Oh my God!) (2 x's)

My alter ego took over and took me on a fantasy ride

(Do you want to ride)

You can take me anywhere twice

But the second time will be to apologize

Chorus (3 x's)

I can't remember (Intermittently during chorus)

Where am I?

What am I?

Who am I?

How am I?

How did I?

I can't remember

and

Fly away

I wish that I could fly

Into the sky

So very high

Just like a dragonfly

I'd fly above the trees

Over the seas in all degrees

To anywhere I please

Oh I want to get away

I want to fly away

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh I want to get away

I want to fly away

Yeah yeah yeah

Let's go and see the stars

The milky way or even Mars

Where it could just be ours

Let's fade into the sun

Let your spirit fly

Where we are one

Just for a little fun

Oh oh oh yeah !

I want to get away

I want to fly away

Yeah yeah yeah

I want to get away

I want to fly away

Yeah yeah yeah

I got to get away

Feel I got to get away

Oh oh oh yeah

I want to get away

I want to fly away

Yeah with you yeah yeah

Oh Yeah !

I want to get away

I want to fly away

Yeah with you yeah yeah

I got to get away

I want to get away X4

Yeah

I want to get away

I want to fly away

Yeah with you yeah yeah

I got to get away

I want to get away X4

Yeah

I want to get away

I want to fly away

Yeah with you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

totally right about that horrible lenny kravitz song. is it just me or did he get a whole lot less cool when he cut off his dreads? thank god that doesn't happen to everyone ::. didn't he do a gap commercial or something like that too? what a weiner! i mean, gap makes high quality and nice clothing, it's just that they are made in indonesian sweatshops that totally exploit the workers and the advertising on this side of the ocean just perpetuates stereotypes and the beauty myth. their prices are ridiculous too. check out www.gapsucks.org , if it still works. this site cracked me up a couple of years ago.

since when is it cool to wear shoes that are horrible for your health and look stupid with jeans? jeans are pants sent straight from heaven, who would want to contaminate them with ridiculous shoes? and flying v guitars were never cool, they were used as distractions from either the lack of talent of the player or the player's ugly face. i think i need that bucket.

Cool People who played Flying V's :

1: Bob Mould

2: Albert King

3: Tom Petty

4: Joey Gaydos (the kid guitar player from School Of Rock ... a bad ass musician who plays a flying V in the movie)

... and that's about it :)

Maybe I missed it in a previous post, but I find it hard to believe the song "private eyes" by hall and Oates has yet to be brought up. Dishonourable mention to that awful Madonna song "American Life?" which contains a rap in it that is quite possibly the worst use of that medium I've ever heard, it makes George Michael's, Wham rap sound like a hard core homey chillin' in the hood, smoking spliffs and busting caps from the nine, laid back, with his mind on his money and his money on his mind. Oh, and further dishonourable mention to Wham for "wake me up before you go...go."

I forgot to include that awful dance cover of Madonna's " Holiday " by those weirdo Euro-via-South America DJ's M.C. Miker and DJ Sven from 1987.

Note:

Jimi Hendrix and Randy Rhodes both played Flying V's and they were pretty cool dudes and not too shabby guitar players either.

There are (at least) two notable exceptions:

Albert King

Lonnie Mack

And to see just how good and cool they both were with their flying Vs', here's a picture of each of them with another guitar player who's on most people's list of great guitar players:
