I knew the day would come when knownot whippersnappers would lean so heavily on their retrospective orientation to the unfuckwittable classic soul/funk music of my childhood that they would literally cement the generation gap between us and them to a complete impasse, but I still don't want to believe that that day is here.
^^^ a prize for anyone who can decipher this ^^^
You think your perspective on soul/funk is as valid as mine, despite the fact that you weren't around to experience it when it was originally popping off. You are adamant in your stance, which renders a reasonable dialogue between we two on the subject impossible. I knew it would happen eventually, but I'd like to think it has not yet come to that.
I never want to hear scenario, or choice is yours remix again in my life...period. not that they're bad, but i just can't stomach them any more. i've been hearing people recite the lyrics since i was in 8th grade. it's not a sing along, and you're not "down" because you know the words, becky.

I think people have moved from "sucks" to "overplayed" in record time.
how about Option 3 being that you never liked it in the first place? would not go as far as to say my picks suck, but that I never felt them in the first place. ok - Blue Monday I liked until the drum machine kicks in.
I am from the Bay and was actually listening to rap when this came out. But I have never, ever liked this joint. that is to say, it's not really an issue of "played out." I always thought it was weak. hatt me now.
Call me disconnected but I've missed all these threads (focusing on single songs rather than artists). Although I've seen my share of Dylan/Beatles sucks etc threads...

haha! that's not too long, since the first sound in the entire track is an electronic kick drum ... but you knew that ...
Maybe not! I mean that duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh fast succession drum sound that comes after geh-geh-geh-geh-geh geh-geh-geh-geh-geh more keyboardy sounding part...does that song start off with the duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh?

i feel what you're saying. this is more about played out. i do weddings. so i NEVER listen to those songs except at a gig. and at that point, people go so crazy that it makes you learn to deal--and even like some played shit.
however, Gaye's version of Heard it Through the Grapevine is a very important piece of American art. It deserves its own thread. just listen to his phrasing alone.
but I can't heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllp bein' confused

Saying though - we're switching the topic here. It's not a question of songs you're sick of b/c you've heard them too much.
It's CLASSICS THAT SUCK and I think this implies that these "classics" have ALWAYS sucked to you.

Exactly!

That's cool, but what's the purpose of this thread anyhow? Who really gives a fuck if a couple of shut-ins like Bustin' Loose or Humtpy Dance? Them shits are unstoppable at his point. Good luck.

I for one, find it interesting. A lot of the tracks mentioned by others could have easily been on my list.
What's the purpose of any thread? To kill some time, have a laugh, and maybe learn something.

Or thereabouts.
Yup.
California Girls - Beach Boys
Blue Monday - New Order
Humpty Dance - DigiUnderground
Oh My God - Tribe/Busta
'I Got The Feelin',' always feels like the same song, only better.
I can get behind this, and I'll cosign 'Respect.'
I will also add:
"Let's Get it On," which is just so much tacky wedding funk at this point.
Never that son.

Chickity-Chocolate, the Chocolate Chicken!

This more than any of my other choices is probably guilty of my judgement as 'overplayed,' rather than, 'sucks,' I will admit.
That said...IllSON, at this point in our history, that song DEFINES the white-man's-overbite.

That's what I was going for, I said "sucks" for dramatic effect.

The 12" version starts with the kick drum.
Yeah.... 'low rider' and a few other cuts mentioned may fall into the later, but not the former category.
And while I'm here: I can't Frickin' stand Kiss.
The band or the song?
Sugar Hill Gang - Rapper's Delight
The freakin' band!

That's not a good enough reason to like a song.
