The Songs We Loathe

[Drake Tungsten]

Goddamn, Gordan played on Pet Sounds, All Things Must Pass, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, and Pretzel Logic before brutally murdering his mother with a hammer and a butcher's knife. Try to top that list, Ginger Baker!

[Barnabas]

SugaR ray -- all awful

I agree with you on that

The other day I listened to a Sugar Ray song on the radio, and all I could think of is "these people don't deserve to be millionaires"

[Barnabas]

I hate dumb songs that use meaningless onomatopoeias

like Ob La Di Ob La Da from the Beatles, or De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da from the Police

they are like kindergarten songs

[Drake Tungsten]

they are like kindergarten songs

No, this is a kindergarten song...



These...

like Ob La Di Ob La Da from the Beatles, or De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da from the Police

... are just good, melodic songs with some nonsense lyrics.

[Al B. Sure!]

Barnabas:

Umm... What about Do I Do by Stevie Wonder or shoo be doo be doo da day sung by both Stevie Wonder and the Jackson 5? I mean who doesn't like Do I Do?

[Elok]

Well, covering a bunch of bases...

I am not self-diagnosed. I was identified as AS by a professional diagnosis at the age of seven or eight, around the time DSM-IV was released and AS was just becoming known to the psychiatric profession in general. I don't care for self-diagnosis either.

I am an extremely mild case. I don't "stim," have no obsessions, exhibit very few if any stereotyped behaviors, and can pass for perfectly normal, even extroverted, in conversation. My one real giveaway is that I'm a very picky eater--many foods have powerfully offensive tastes or (worse) odors.

Ob La Di Ob La Da was the best song on the White Album AFAIC, though (again, AFAIC) that's damning with very faint praise. What a colossal midden of grating noises and gratuitous weirdness that was.

I've only heard one CD by Derek and the Dominos, "Layla and other love songs," or something like that. I remember how Layla went, more or less, and forget everything else. Standard honkified blues-rock, but to be fair, maybe it was just a bad compilation. Whereas "Sunshine of your Love" and "White Room," overplayed as they are, deserved to be anthems.

[Asher]

You sound like me then. People always think I'm weird for having an extreme aversion to seafood and always ordering the same thing at every restaurant.

But I do have obsessions (obviously).

[SlowwHand]

It's called being in a rut. Same here. I don't even have to say anything. They already know.

God, I hate you soooo much...

[duke o' york]

Blackbird is the best song on the White Album by a zillion miles. Revolution Number Nine is the worst by an equal distance.

[Krill]

I'm not as extreme as you, and i think i've mentioned it before, but i've been told by both my GP as a teenager and the psychiatrist i had for a bit in my late teens that i was somewhere on the spectrum. It really shouldnt surprise anyone here

Everyone is somewhere on the spectrum. ****.

[Drake Tungsten]

I'm not.

[Krill]

That's because you're off the deep end.

[Drake Tungsten]

Better that than an Aspie; at least I'll enjoy "Helter Skelter" while it's convincing me to kill Sharon Tate.

[Asher]

Everyone is somewhere on the spectrum. ****.

No.
