A few of my most hated songs by my most beloved bands/artists:
U2 "Red Light" (from "War")
REM "West of the Fields" (from "Murmur")
Just a big, fat "yuck" on both counts.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.
Angelus ,'Damage'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Fuck it - I can't see shows that start after midnight and go to work the next day. Plus, my back starts killing me if I have to stand for two hours."
Wimp. I'm older than you are and I still do it. I can sleep when I'm dead.

REM "West of the Fields" (from "Murmur")
I love this song. But I'm pretty partial to Murmur.

Plus, my back starts killing me if I have to stand for two hours.
I used to have that problem but, I swear, my Fluevogs have added years to my club-going life.

I'll take "Things Overheard At the Rockers' Retirement Home" for $400, Alex.

I was just going to post the Rick James news, Hayden. Sad.
Har-de-har, Steph.

"Why do the facts hate America?" - Jon Stewart
Least favorite song by my favorite band? Easy – “Gary’s got a Boner” by the Replacements.
Thought of another one – “Candy from a Stranger” by Soul Asylum. I don’t even own that album, but they played it live and it confirmed my conviction not to buy that album.
Forgive me if someone’s already brought them up, but the new Snow Patrol is my favorite album in the world right now. Tom, I know you would love it. Kind of Ride/MyBloody Valentine like stuff.
Rick James was not one of my favorite people, or musicians even, but it’s sad when someone dies too young.

I think his liver probably lived a good 80 years in the 56 allotted.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
Least favorite song by a favorite artist/band? Easily--Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have some awful songs: "Sweetheart Come" (repeating "sweetheart" over and over again eventually sounds like you're saying "sweet tart" and ruins the effect), "Babe I'm On Fire" (funny the first time or two but not good), the cover of Leonard Cohen's "Avalanche" (nearly incomprehensible), and "Black Hair" (painfully repetitive) all spring to mind immediately.
I'm less successful at thinking of a truly horrible Tom Waits song.
