Few songs drive me crazy more than 'Desperado'. It's perhaps the most annoying song I've ever heard. I don't know what it is about it, but it just makes me want to jump off a roof.

What songs do you hate, and why?

You hate Desperado?

Why don't you come to your senses?
Jumping roofs, maybe fences?!
For how long, now?

Oh, it's a hard song.
I guess you got your reasons...

Chris Daughtry - What About Now? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtgVL__Li2E ). I particularly hate the chorus.

And I've always hated Hey Jude.

'Bobcaygeon' (I think I spelled that wrong) By The Tragically Hip makes me want to tear off my ears and eat them.

'A Horse With No Name' by (I think?) Neil Young is a close second.

Finally, and I am not sure of the title but I think it's 'I'm Like A Bird' by possibly Nelly Furtado is also blood-curdlingly awful.

Jason Mraz: I'm yours

It's not a particularly terrible song, but they play it everywhere all the time. It brings back painful memories of working as a dishwasher at a coffee shop/bakery and listening to the same three crappy new age folky cds all day long.

I think this was discussed some time ago here, but I'll re-add Two Princes by Spin Doctors.
While I'm at it, I'll throw in Little Miss Can't be Wrong.

Unbearable.

EDIT- The why? Mainly just the annoying vocals in both . Plus at the time, the whole alternative pop/rock movement was surging and I didn't feel like the world needed more whiny guys in flannel.

American Pie.
Another Brick in the Wall.
I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That).
Layla.
Imagine.

They're all so unbelievably overplayed I just feel physically ill when I hear the opening bars. It's not necessarily the bands; I like Pink Floyd and Clapton and wish radio stations would play some of their other songs.

There's a special place in hell for whoever wrote a song that drags on for ten minutes about "I won't do that" but never explicitly says what that is.

'Teardrops' by Womack and Womack. If I ever have to listen to that song again, I will hunt down the so-called songwriters and put them to death in unspeakable ways. A red-hot poker may be involved...
