Bob Segar's Turn the Page would simply not be the same without that sax.

Oh you've not heard my drunken karaoke version where I mimic the sax solo

Wah waaaa wa wa waaaa

That Paul McCartney Christmas song (I don't know the name) makes me want to set fire to the earth.

I couldn't agree more! How do so many people cover it?

Yeah, brutal song. Sounds like a cheesy commercial jingle. Just gonna say it - 99% of Paul's solo stuff, not so good IMO.

Lots of mediocrity in the solo years.

This thread made me thing of something though. Neil Young. What is the deal? He is the most hit and miss musician in my life. Tons of great songs, and also some of the worst crap I have ever heard. Not a lot in the middle.

Where would Gerry Rafferty be without the sax??

   He's still be stuck in the middle with Stealer's Wheel.

That's my point 

The Metallica version still isn't all that great, yet it is a gigantic improvement from the original.

Although it goes without saying, Cottoneye Joe, the Cha-Cha Slide, Electric Slide, and Macarena all belong on this list.

The hokey-pokey is OK, but only if you're in elementary school.

Or at the roller rink.

I am blessed with the ability to listen to music ironically, so bad songs don't anger me I usually thumbs down songs on Pandora just because I'm sick of them.
That being said a few pet peeves:
I had a couple groups of friends growing up. My metal head friends and I had a saying: "A little Bob Segar is too much Bob Segar"
I have the same feelings regarding JourneyStyxForeigneretc.
A really bad song: "Dust in the Wind". I think that maudlin sentimentality is what sums up all that is wrong about the era and those bands.I give Boston a pass, they had their own thing going on.
Drunk, drugged Aerosmith writing their own songs: good
Sober Aerosmith with a commercial songwriter: bad
Always hated hairbands from day one. I was a teen in the eighties and hated what was available for contemporary music except a few like SRV and Metallica. GnR's Appetite for Destruction was a nice break in the late eighties but mostly I listened to classic rock and went to see those bands who were still around.
I remember switching between station when hairbands were big and all of a sudden I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit" and said WTF is this. Thanks to grunge and other hard rock like AIC, Soundgarden, STP, etc I could listen to current bands again although no time for concerts with a baby and Law School.
Some worst offenders: "Living on a Prayer", "Every Rose has a Thorn" and whatever it was Cinderella did. It's fun to watch the videos ironically though.
I don't hate the Eagles but given that they are the best selling American "rock" band ever they are vastly overrated.
Lastly, I love Led Zeppelin. They may be my favorite band. But I wish "Thank You" never saw the light of day.
To sum it up, I hate maudlin BS in all its forms.

It's hard for me to agree more with all of this, Pete. Especially with the drunk/high Aerosmith being fantastic, sober Aerosmith becoming 'REOStyxJourneyWagon' (paraphrasing there  ). The early nineties grunge stuff obliterating the s#^**y hair metal was a great resurgence for rock. Felt like a victory for me. In short, it's like you read my mind.
