    7) Do not brand bash. We're all in this together. Discuss what you like and dislike. But don't bash someone or something because you don't like it.

    This falls within the rules. ;)

    These threads are stupid, creating threads to bash when the rules clearly say not to bash is dumb.

    I believe that makes you a basher, too... not that there's anything wrong with that. ;)

    My votes would be:

    The Who: Who Are You

    Lyrically, I agree with you...that song goes nowhere fast. However, I was kind of turned on to it when I watched them perform it in the documentary The Kids Are Alright. I think the video segment was shot just a few weeks before Keith Moon's death in '78, but whoever produced the documentary did an excellent (almost HD) transfer of the segment and the song really comes alive when you see it come together before your eyes.

    Whatever that damned song is where they go "whoo-whoo" every two or three seconds FOR THE ENTIRE SONG!!!

    Arrgh! I run for the volume knob every time I hear it, leaving behind those curly cues you see in the cartoons.

    Funny, my first thought was Sympathy for the Devil, but that's a GREAT song! Dang, I love Song 2, too!

    I've got a few, just off the top of my head.....

    "Kiss You All Over" by Exile
    "I Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon
    Not a rock song, but "Reasons" by Earth, Wind and Fire
    "Coconut" by Harry Nilsson

    There are more, but that's for openers......

    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Any song by Yoko Ono.

    In particular, I would pinpoint it to her caterwalling song, "Sisters".



    The Who's "Squeezebox" is the song that makes me want to punch whoever is playing it in the kidneys.

    America “Muskrat Love” Sickening beyond believe!

    The Knack “My Sharona” What a piece of pure garbage!

    Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods “Billy Don’t be a Hero” Who's Billy and WTF are they are they talking about?

    Starland Vocal Band “Afternoon Delight” They eff'd up the real afternoon delight for me!

    Jefferson Starship "We Built This City (on Rock & Roll) UGH! I just hate this song!

    Whitney Houston “I Will Always Love You” She sounds like a **** Tarzan.

    Whitney Houston “Greatest Love Of All” Sounds like a ballad for abused women, great Ophra Winfrey show!

    Simon & Garfunkel "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme" I wanna say STFU with the song already!

    Cutting Crew - I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight

    Instant mood killer.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Nuff said.

    Runaway Train should be on the Best List, not the worst...it's a very well recorded song, especially for a grung bad. If you listen to the lyrics, you will probably find a time in your life that you could relate to the song.
