The Smashing Pumpkins - "Today" and "1979"
I'm not going anywhere near their deep cuts.

They didn't hit that level again until, "We Built this City."

To be fair, I don't "hate" The Doors, I'm just not a huge fan of their music.

Until I looked at that Jefferson Starship photo, I had no idea Timothy Hutton was in the band.

I have an iTunes playlist called "Songs I Like, Though Stupid" for just this kind of thing. I guess the biggest jagoff on it is Don "Stinky" Henley, with the great, GREAT "End of the Innocence."

I have kind of a soft spot for "Boys of Summer."

What I like about this song is you can hear the chunky in Jim Morrisson's voice. It sounds thick like he's in the middle of a peanut butter sandwich between takes.

90's Edition:
- Pretty much any of Stone Temple Pilots' hits. :-[
- "Zombie" by the Cranberries :-[
- That Alanis Morisette song about having one hand in her pocket :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
-
- "Zombie" by the Cranberries :-[
Oh my God. I'm so sorry.

If I'm alone in my car, and that song comes on the radio, I'm powerless to do anything but turn it up and sing along. "With thair bums, and thair gones..."

I once made the declaration to a friend that Linkin Park was better than Franz Ferdinand, and I stand by that.

It Ain't Over Till Its Over -- Lenny Kravitz
I'd pick "Are You Gonna Go My Way":
Lenny Kravitz "Are You Gonna Go My Way" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxF3M6uePfs#)
The guy is one of the worst lyricists of ever (this coming from someone who doesn't really pay much attention to lyrics), but in spite of that, I think this is a pretty good track.
-
I was going to post a song by Blink 182, and then I just kept remembering song upon song by them that I like.
I guess I like Blink 182.

Forgive me for going on a tangent but this thread made me think of that Ginuwine song 'Pony', a perennial fave of mine, and I soon Wiki'd this nugget:
'Ginuwine recently signed on as a spokesman for the beverage Adult Chocolate Milk, a 40-proof vodka-based version of chocolate milk.'
Though to be honest I have no idea whether I might like his other songs.
-
"This Is It" - Kenny Loggins feat. Michael McDonald
They're both the worst, but since I was a child, I've loved this song.

The beat literally sounds like it's being belched.

There was a time when I was hooked on this entire record. You're right, it's not good, but as soon as I saw that picture, the whole title track flooded back into my brain.

Phil Collins: Easy Lover (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1kDmnHyOBg#)
Aww. I like a lot of Phil Collins' stuff. I think all of Abacab is premium, and as I have said on this board before, he did play the shit out of the drums with Genesis in the 70's.
But granted, the man is capable of horrible, horrible music ("In Too Deep" may be the quintessential bad Phil Collins song).

THEY are not good. Loggins+McDonald = two-way tie for last. But this song is great. I don't how they did it. I remember loving it as a child. It still holds up and I HATE Kenny Loggins as a musician. I'd listen to Dan Fogelberg over Loggins any day of the week. Maybe.
"Take It To The Limit" by The Eagles is another song. Maybe it's because Don Henley or Glenn Frey aren't singing it. When I was in 9th grade, my computer teacher played music in class, but only side one of a Hotel California cassette. It was the worst.

Agree with everything you wrote.
Also, Collins' work as a session drummer is deserving of some praise. He played on some of the best records of the 70's (Eno, Fripp, Thin Lizzy, early Peter Gabriel)

I think he's on All Things Must Pass as well.

Brand X records feature some of Phil's best drumming; as well-known as he is for the heavy-handed in-the-air-tonight stuff, he was amazingly supple and subtle.

There's a few from U2 (I wonder if anyone hates Bono and The Edge more than I imagine Adam Clayton and Larry Mullens Jr. do?) that I really like:
Most of the albums Boy and October. Some pretty good Post-Punk in those two.

Ditto -- EFD playing the 45 to (I think) "I will follow" brought me to this conclusion.
I also like all of Buffalo Springfield and most of Manassas, though I actually find Stephen Stills more entertaining/fascinating than hateful.

You're taking into account his cracked-out '80s period when he was carrying firearms everywhere and telling people he'd kicked all the gook ass in Vietnam?

"What a Fool Believes" with the Doobie Bros. is my jam. Unbelievable chorus.

Actually, the only Stephen Stills incident I've ever heard of that makes him seem sympathetic at all was when Neil Young informed him by telegram that he was dropping out of the Stills/Young tour and Stills' first words were "I have no career."
After I finish laughing my ass off, I find that kind of human.

Especially then, though the cocaine/Confederate uniform period is my favorite.

"Fly By Night" is the only Rush I can tolerate.

I killed this thread, let me briefly reanimate it.
ANTICHRIST TELEVISION BLUES - ARCADE FIRE - GLASTONBURY 2007 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olk8feBYHeg#)
I think this song is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard, I've disliked everything else I've ever heard by or about them, and the way these people mug for the camera is grossly inappropriate for anyone over 14. But I love this song a lot.
The version I love is the album version, but I wanted people to see the fake dancing and real mugging to get the extremes I'm talking about here.

Chicago 25 Or 6 To 4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUAYeN3Rp2E#)
This song contains, what has to be, one of the best guitar solos ever committed to tape.

I personally would have gone with "Stranglehold"...

"Love" may be overselling it, but "Only the Good Die Young" is, to my way of thinking, by far the best song by the otherwise-odious William Joel.

From the moment I heard "I Hung My Head" on Johnny Cash's American IV album, I was utterly in awe of that song. Chilling, uncanny, the perfect summation of everything Johnny Cash stood for and just an unbelievable, perfectly written song by any standard. I was reminded of this today when I saw Bruce Springsteen do an awesome version, not quite as shattering as Johnny Cash's only because he isn't Johnny Cash. I can't embed it, it's on YouTube.
It's gotta be one of the greatest songs ever written and I really really don't know what to do with the horrible fact that it was written by Sting.
