You beat me to it!

edit: if this doesn't prove how easy it is to make a pop song in this country these days, I don't know what does.

R4B, take back what you said about Satisfaction. Unless, of course, you are talking about Devo or Britney Spears covers.

A good classic rock station would play everything on both Eagles greatest hits and then some (James Dean for example) and about 15 Lynyrd Skynyrd songs (although some people say they did three songs: uptempo song, ballad, and Freebird).
I love the Devo cover of Satisfaction. They were truly great before they replaced their drummer Alan Myers with a drum machine.

Re: Cringe-Worthy Music

I can't believe we have a cringe-worthy music thread and nobody has mentioned "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle. Seriously, I can tolerate most music, but I hate sappy overemotional trash like this.

I would also throw in "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. They were my favorite bad for a long time, but with that song, it's like they declared themselves my enemies for life.

Then there's that duet with Eminem and Rihanna about domestic violence. Ugh.

Some Emo bands are like fingernails on the chalkboard.

Re: Cringe-Worthy Music

Not that this has anything to do with the thread, but Chad Kroeger co-owns the company that Carlyle Rad Jepsen records with.

Just sayin'.

Re: Cringe-Worthy Music

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Yeah, that was a low moment in history.

I love Paul Kantner's comments on Behind the Music on that one:

"We Built This City on Rock and Roll. yeah Riiiiighhht."

I see your starship and raise you quite possibly the lamest remake/cover i can think of it has a little bit of everything cringe worthy.

Re: Cringe-Worthy Music

I'm wiped out from all the horrible music I've heard, but I'll say this, it's pretty clear cami came to this thread with a loaded deck of cards and we're just living in his world right now. When you want actual 'cringe worthy', you have to go to cami because yours is very beaten by his and it is very apparently not even close.

Re: Cringe-Worthy Music

Will to Power's covers of Free Bird and Baby I Love Your Way. I refuse to perpetuate these offended to human and animal sensibilities by posting a video.

Oh what the heck.

I refuse to listen to it, though.

I can't believe they got permission for this from the surviving members of Skynard, Frampton, or Nietzsche.

Re: Cringe-Worthy Music

If someone can post Waiting for a Star to Fall, I think we may have a trifecta.

Limp Bizkit mastered the cringe-worthy cover:

That said, Limp Bizkit is a guilty pleasure of mine...
