Homo / Sort of News / Love Headline of the Day: "Man Hits Boyfriend In Face With a Plate For Listening to Alanis Morissette"
Posted by Kelly O on Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 11:54 AM
...When police asked 24-year-old Allen Blair Casey if the cause of the plate attack was because his boyfriend was listening to Morissette's music, Casey replied, "That's all that motherfucker listens to."
- Alleged dinner plate wielding face smasher, Allen Casey

This is horribly shameful, but What's Up by 4NB makes the best rap song, when done in a kind of Big Willie Style, if you will.

"We Built This City" Starship: Awful fake rock song about the power of rock and roll
"Complicated" Avril Lavigne: Whining about fake hipsters you want to fuck is worse than fake hipsters you want to fuck
"Hotel California" Eagles: Overplayed, overlong, overprivileged
Anything off of "American Idiot" or "21st Century Breakdown" Green Day: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Clumsily overstated good intentions.
"What's Up?" Four Non-Blondes: Ridiculous enunciation as boho cred
"Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" Crash Test Dummies: What the fuck is wrong with your mouth?
"Barbie Girl" Aqua: Consumerist critique upstaged by its own horrifying songcraft
"I'm Blue" Eiffel 65: Sounds like they were going for a joke and got a hit, Robocop style.
"One Week" Barenaked Ladies: Its musical sense of humor is at the expense of good hip-hop
"Beer For My Horses" Toby Keith: Barely cloaked violent racism, far worse than the jingoistic "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue"

look, there's no way a person named tainte is going to condescend to me about anything, especially when they're coming down in favor of goofy-ass rockabilly. get bent.
38
35 and 36, maybe get some taste. shake the shack is the best thing on kexp.

@35
I love actual 50's music, but overall yes, fuck yes to what you're saying here. what kind of a person thought it was a good idea to take a dump on everyone's Friday night like that?

Anything on "Shake The Shack." Fucking rockabilly. Seriously KEXP, your prime-time Friday show is rockabilly? It's like some goddamn Stockholm Syndrome with Seattleites. The 50s is where music goes to die.
34
The Eagles- Hotel California. As soon as I hear the first note of that, I want to break someone's face.
33
I cannot tolerate Come Sail Away. I just can't. And I really don't hate Styx, just that song grates on my last nerve. I would actually appreciate it if it was from a Christopher Guest glam band mocumentary. Sadly its not.
32
two of my bandmates work together and one of them plays "Roll The Bones" by Rush every day to fuck with the other. I'm pretty sure it's gonna end in a workplace homicide at some point. but hey! the upside from that is SOLO CAREER.
personally, I can deal with a lot. Deep Blue Something's "Breakfast At Tiffany's"? sure! I mean it's probably what the four horsemen will be playing as they cull the planet of our species, but I can endure it. same for a lot of other things you all have mentioned...HOWEVER, if I have to hear "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes one more time I might lose it.

@20, yeah. No. Well, other than the singing, the guitar sounds, the bass, the keyboard bits, the terrible drumming, and the flatulent songwriting, they're all right, I guess.
28
@5 In '87, Huey released Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
20
@14, I going to assume Rush is so awesome you can't contain yourself. That is the only reasonable explanation.
16
There is no musical form that I am aware of that would make me feel violent toward my wife, however, the DJs on virtually all the stations that play the music that she prefers...
14
Anything with that honking saxophone sound that was popular in the 50s. Anything with electric piano on it. Really, my tastes are quite ecumenical; I can even tolerate marching band music in small doses. Bad hair metal doesn't bother me a bit. Um, really frenetic prog -- Yes, "Relayer" ought to do it. Anything by Rush.
11
@7..oohhhh. Great idea!I'm gonna add a whole Bitch Rock section! Le Tigre, Bratmobile, The Donnas, Disappear Fear. I am so gonna win!
8
Bob Seeger and George Thorogood. There is absolutely no reason why anyone should be playing this music.

When my hubs and I go on road trips we have a little game. Each makes a compilation of songs to annoy the shit out of the other. I've used Jock Jams, Husker Du ( my husband detests Bob Mould) and for an upcoming trip it's gonna be all Poison, Warrant,Whitesnake etc.
one of us may end up dead
