What's your favorite song by a band you don't like?

Question

.
You love the song, but you don't like the band that much (or at all)?

I'm personally drawing a blank so far...... guess you have to think harder than me, don't you? hehe

Dani G: I use to be like that with the Stones (Ruby Tuesday and Sympathy) but now the Stones have begun to grow on me

Jakex :] : Whoa! Didn't see that coming.

Cinnamon Grrrl ♀ : At least it was before The Black Parade, right?

Dani G: I'm from Brooklyn, you can imagine what reigns here (and it sure isn't rock)

Darth: I JUST got Jukebox Hero out of my head after a week! Now it's in there again... thanks man!

*sigh* Looks like we got attacked by the thumbs down troll again

rukrym: Pressure Point is the only Zutons song I like too, their other songs never caught me.

Answer 1

Nickelback - Figured You Out

Only because the words are so beyond stupid it's almost like a parody, except Chad Kroger was serious.

Spooky - :-)
I would have said that same song for comedic purposes. It pains me to disagree with you but I fail to realize the "catchy" part. I mean if it's Gay-F-I, where would that put P!ATD on the spectrum?

Answer 2

For all of these artists, there is only one {two at the most} songs I like ~ which is why downloading and compelation albums are such a wonderful things!

Goo Goo Dolls ~ I Don't Want To Know {Fleetwood Mac cover}
The Corrs ~ Dreams {Fleetwood Mac cover}
Sister Hazel ~ Gold Dust Woman {amazing FM cover}
Christina Aguilera ~ Beautiful {only hit she didn't write!}
Daniel Bedingfield ~ If You're Not the One
Creed ~ One Last Breath
Velvet Revolver ~ Fall to Pieces {I don't know why I like it, I just do!}
Cliff Richard ~ In the Country
Maroon 5 ~ Harder to Breathe
Mayrilyn Manson ~ Tainted Love {cover} & Sweet Dreams {cover}
Soft Cell ~ Tainted Love
The Cure ~ Burn
Simple Minds ~ Don't You (Forget About Me)
Train ~ Drops of Jupiter
The Specials ~ Ghost Town
Motorhead {with Girlschool} ~ Please Don't Touch
Patti Smith ~ Because the Night
Texas ~ I Don't Want A Lover
Lou Reed ~ Walk on the Wild Side
The Velvet Underground & Nico ~ Venus In Furs
Red Hot Chilli Peppers ~ Under the Bridge

I'm embarased to admit to several of those!

Answer 3

Come As You Are by Nirvana
I think they are overrated
Across The Universe by the Beatles
I'm a Stones Fan
Bullet With Buttefly Wings by The Smashing Pumpkins
Never did like them (But this song Rocks)
Under The Bridge by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Only song of theirs I can stand, but I love it.
Bring The Noise by Anthrax
Only song of theirs I can stand
Try And Love Again by The Eagles
Like a sparse few of their songs
Cat People (Putting Out Fire) by David Bowie
Only song of His I like, and it's in My all time Top 10 go figure.
Driving South by Jimi Hendrix
Great guitarist, His voice annoys Me to no end.
Looks That Kill by Motley Crue
Only song of theirs I can stand.
Juke Box Hero by Foreigner
Great song from a generic band
Too Late For Love by Def Leppard
Great song from a very generic band
OK, that's enough

Cinnamon Grrl feels the same way about Corgan as I do about Eddie Vedder

Answer 4

Talk Dirty to Me-Poison
When Doves Cry-Prince
Hungry Like the Wolf-Duran Duran
Rocket Man-Elton John
Jamie's Cryin'-Van Halen
Black Magic Woman-Santana
Like A Virgin-Madonna

I hate all of those artists

Answer 5

I'm far from being the biggest Elton John fan in the world, but I quite like the song "Rocket Man". It was actually the cover of it that My Morning Jacket did that got me liking the song, and I still think their cover is better than the original, but it is a good song.

Also, I don't really like The Zutons that much, and I actually think they're really overrated, but I like "Pressure Point" a lot. Other than that, I can't say they've got any songs I'd rave about.

Answer 6

I totally HATE Green Day but my favorite song by them is Wake Me Up When Septemeber Ends.

Answer 7

I Write Sins not Tragedies- Panic at the Disco... That band is completely worthless, but that song is so dang catchy. Good thing I have no shame, otherwise this would be embarrassing to admit, ;-)

Ouch, rckets, you are calling me out hard! lol. I didn't say I was proud of this, or that I liked the band... Just that I got suckered into it.

Answer 8

The Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden

Edit: Just never could get into them.....then again I'm from Boston and Aerosmith reigns supreme to most in this area (much to my dismay)....

See....look it is possible for favorable New York - Boston relations.....

Answer 9

There are two songs that I really like, and I really don't like the artist.

Stranger-Hilary Duff
I Could Get Used to This-Veronicas

I really like Everlife's version of, "I could get used to this."

Plus, I'm really dying for the instrumental for stranger.

Answer 10

"One Thing" by Finger 11
"MIss You" by Blink 182
"Clint Eastwood" by Gorillaz
"Inside Out" by Eve 6
"New Age Girl" by Deadeye Dick
Limp Bizkit's cover of George Michael's "Faith" (I hate both arists)
"Falling Away From Me" by Korn

any of the early ~punk~ stuff by the Goo Goo Dolls, late 80's era, when they were still on college radio; they totally suck now
