There has to be some special qualities about songs you outright hate, as opposed to the normal crap that constitutes 90% of the popular music out there.  A key component of suckiness is appropriating aspect of music that is cool and turning it into commercial, radio-friendly garbage.  I agree with Evan Linger from Skeletonwitch that the absolute nadir for popular music was the nu-metal and faux-alternative pop-grunge crap of the late 90s.  He picked Barenecked ladies One Week as his most hated song - and while the song is a smoldering heap of excrement, its suckiness is eclipsed by Dishwalla's Counting Blue Cars (that song with the 'Tell me all your thoughts on God, because I'd really like to meet her' refrain) which, on top of the late 90s faux grunge yarling, adds the both religious pretensions and the conceit that somehow they are too cool to take the song title from the chorus, rather they come up with some bullshit title that has nothing to do with the lyrics of the song.

A line from Ben-Hur: Arrius (the commander of the Roman fleet) inspects the ship where Judah Ben-Hur is rowing.

Arrius: (after lashing Ben-Hur) Your eyes are full of hate, 41.  That's good!  Hate keeps a man alive!  It gives him strength!

Those will keep me alive for hundreds of years if Arrius is right.

Justin Bieber and all of his ilk and not to mention the no talent wastes of space that came before him (Britney Spears, New Kids On The Block, 'N Sync, The Spice Girls, etc.). Utter garbage. I also hated most of those alleged "Southern rock" bands with the exception being I do some of the Allman Brothers music. I also dislike country and have hardly any tolerance for metal, especially death metal with all that screaming and grunting. I mean there's nothing musical about someone screaming at the top of their lungs into a microphone unless it's the blood-curdling scream heard in Berg's Lulu. I can allow this because it happens at such a pivotal moment in the work.

Living in Toronto that BNL song was evrywhere all the time. I made the error of youtubing blue cars. Bad enough on its own, but it and your comments reminded me of ... Prepare yourself for fresh horrors, Hey Men by Men Without Hats.  Brrrrrr.

In a "Careful with that Axe Eugene" sort of a way.

Oh dear. I really must stop reading this thread. I had forgotten that one too.

Just when you thought it was safe to back in the water ...

Nirvana, for the simple reason that I could never hear the words.  That does not mean hear someone singing but be unable to figure out the words.  That means be unable to tell if anyone was singing.

Dishwalla's Counting Blue Cars (that song with the 'Tell me all your thoughts on God, because I'd really like to meet her' refrain)

Oy. That is a terrible, terrible, terrible song.

But you're right, there was a lot of really bad music at that time. Nobody has mentioned Creed? I don't think any of their songs were worse than the one you mentioned, but they as a band probably had the highest suckage * popularity combination.

1980s glam rock!!!! Awful noise. Hate this crap with a passion.

Not a good decade overall, but who do you mean?

I liked a lot of 80s rock music. Of course, when I speak of 80s glam rock, I'm talking about bands like Poison, Quiet Riot, W.A.S.P., Twisted Sister, etc. Horrible bands.
