Annoying List 2004

[Radical347]

First off, as always, a few things that need to be mentioned:

The Overrated List (Not trying to let personal biases get in the way here):
10. RYAN CABRERA
On the Way Down

9. BUTTERFLY BOUCHER
Another White Dash (Fefe Dobson did not have to re-name herself and release the same two songs so soon after the disappeared the first time; she is not that good)

8. EVANESCENCE
My Immortal

7. 3 DOORS DOWN
Here Without You

6. NELLY AND TIM MCGRAW
Over and Over (simply because they knew it'd be a hit with these two artists put together)

5. USHER ET AL
Yeah! (After all, not every song that sucks this much can be #1 for the year)

4. THE EAMONS
(At least everyone realizes what a loser idea this was by now, but all those spins they got collectively cannot be forgiven just yet)

3. HOOBASTANK
The Reason (see below and the Annoying List for details)

2. GREENDAY
Boulevard of Broken Dreams (they plugged into the formula and it couldn't have worked any better)

1. KANYE WEST
Through the Wire (sorry, but so undeserving of all those Grammy nods)

This year's stop-while-you're-ahead award goes to FEFE DOBSON.

A few songs that did not make the Annoying List due to being hilariously bad:
5. Gwen Stefani - What Are You Waiting For?
4. Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You/Just Like You (There's not enough of a difference for these to be considered separate songs)
3. KoRn - Word Up
2. Nitty - Nasty Girl
1. Nickelback - Feelin' Way Too Damn Good

Now for the disclaimer:

Any song that I heard at least once last year, qualifies. If a song that I've said is horrible doesn't appear on here, that's because there was so much crap this year. I've had to pare this list down multiple times to get 50, and I've just cut off some of the lighter F's as well as some of the ones I don't remember that well. For the first time, everything on the list is F range and the majority of these are F-minus or worse.

And now, without further ado,

2004 ANNOYING LIST[/b]

[Radical347]

50. Thrills - Big Sur
Irish band by way of San Diego, releases a song that shows how badly Irish and San Diegan music goes together and attempts to be of celestial proportions but falls terribly flat.

49. Rachael Yamagata - Worn Me Down
Umm, she's not making a very good case for Asian-Americans in the music industry. She sounds like an elephant giving birth.

48. Jason Mraz - Curbside Prophet
Artist who has nothing going for him except being rush-marketed in the same manner as John Mayer finally decides to see how big of an idiot he can possibly be and starts singing about random dumb@$$ topics like Elsa the dog and then pretentiously in the live version decides that some girls in the audience want to have his baby.

47. Cassidy ft. R. Kelly - Hotel
I despise this song and everything that it stands for but that's mostly because it stands for crappy artists having hits with crappy songs.

46. Shania Twain ft. Marc McGrath - Party for Two
A horrible concept by two mediocre and entirely overrated artists that they couldn't even get together in the studio. I also wish it wasn't so, well, stupid. "You can wear anything you want, because it's a party for two?" WTF?

45. Wilson Phillips - Go Your Own Way
A remake of a mediocre-sounding "classic" by a mediocre band nowhere near deserving of the staying power they have achieved redone by another mediocre band also nowhere near deserving of their staying power and with no chance of turning it tolerable.

44. Melissa Etheridge - Lucky
Normally reliably mediocre artist finally releases something horrible enough for this List. Here's a tip: when you speak before the intro instrumentals of a song, normally you'd want to say something more relevant and less stupid than simply "I wanna see how lucky, lucky can be." The rest of this is also trash.

43. Faithless - Mass Destruction
Aside from being put off by hearing "suicide bomber" in a song, I don't really care about what kind of a message these guys are trying to get off but I do care about how bad it sounds. Just because sister Dido split and became more successful gives you no excuse to start sucking. Sigh, and I liked everything you've put out before.

42. Gretchen Wilson - Redneck Woman
Oh my god what the hell kind of crap on a stick is this. This'd be higher if I would have heard it any more than once, but usually songs that I only hear once don't stick enough to make this list, esp. one as 'competitive' as this.

41. Toby Lightman - Real Love
There's a rule that certain people on the boards seem to follow and that's if someone's a singer-songwriter, you must love her no matter how horrible her songs are. And apparently people still like this one because even though she didn't write this, she's still a singer-songwriter... [:re]

40. Skye Sweetnam - Tangled Up in Me
What a fitting title, because I imagine that if I ever heard a train wreck it'd sound something like this.

39. Ciara ft. deleted - Goodies
Some more generic annoying people that don't have anything better to do all day than be annoying, I guess.

38. Usher - Confessions Pt. II
I'm still reeling in the aftershock, not because of any confessions but because of how horrible this is.

37. Nick Cannon - Gigolo
Everything I've ever heard that had him in sucks, so it's not surprising that this one makes me want to rip my intestines to shreds and then start throwing them at him.

36. Jojo - Baby It's You
Didn't you just tell him to leave, get out? Or is this someone else? Sigh, I guess the turnover rate for 14-year-olds is getting higher and higher these days. I just wish they didn't have to be so irritating about it.

35. Kanye West ft. Sylveena Johnson - All Falls Down
THIS is supposed to be the dude that everyone's raving about? *sigh*... and I thought the general public's pop music taste hit an all time low a few years ago.

34. Jamie Cullum - All at Sea
Usually bland songs by definition can't get lower than a C-, but I'll make an exception because this is the most boring song in the history of the universe and is also the only one to get an F[/color] due simply to pure boringness.

33. Luther Vandross with Beyonce - The Closer I Get to You
This song, although not as gut-wrenchingly horrible as everything else with a certain singer I can't handle, still deserves an F-[/color] for featuring her and getting her onto the Smooth Jazz chart.

32. Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone
You are not Ani DiFranco so please stop trying to scream like her!

31. Future Leaders of the World - Let Me Out
What a horrible, horrible mess of a song that never should have been made by a band that never should have named themselves that.

30. Toots & the Maytals ft. Bonnie Raitt - True Love is Hard to Find
This sounds like what you'd get if you took a microphone to a few homeless people sleeping out in the streets of NYC and told them to make groaning sounds for a few minutes and then recorded it.

29. Usher and Alicia Keez - My Boo
I'm spelling her name like that because she's not deserving of that nickname with all the infinite crap she's been putting out and furthermore she's not even making an attempt anymore. (If I find out the name of the horrible song of hers that samples Superstition, that's getting an F[/color] also, but I don't feel like qualifying it enough to specifically look it up.)

28. Murphy Lee ft. Jermaine Dupri - What Dat Hook Gonn Be
Incredibly formulaic example of a song that insults my intelligence and sounds bad too.

27. Ja Role, Ashitty, and R. Kelly - Wonderful
The worst duo of the past few years (featuring none other than an annoying wannabe singer and someone who has the voice of what an AK-47 would sound like if it could talk) returns, complete with a convicted child molestor to boot. What a perfect line-up for a love song...

26. Eminem - Just Lose It
What was I thinking when I actually gave this a passing grade at one time! After showing potential with a few tracks he releases the same song for about time number six now and it's just as horrible as the first previous few.

[Radical347]

25. Simple Plan - Welcome to My Life
Still an F- but the only reason that it's not higher up is because this song is so stereotypical of these guys that it's almost funny. (Almost being the key word -- it's still annoying.)

24. Martina MacBride - This One's For the Girls
Using cliche's is bad enough; it's even worse when you try to fashion an entire song around one and can't even get it right then. Case in point. There is no reason why this song needs to go out to all the girls that she mentions, other than that she's saying "this one's for the girls," and that's just not capiche.

23. Lenny Kravitz - Lady
Oh look, I can stick a popsicle stick in a garbage disposal and call it a song too. But at least mine would have better lyrics. The worst part of this is the horrible rhymes that make Avril Lavigne look like Bob Dylan and a few more points off for saying "little lady" 'coz it sounds dumb.

22. Houston ft. Chingy - I Like That
Rapper and rapper, both talentless, come bearing disastrous intentions and end up with even more disastrous reults.

21. Jessica Simpson - Take My Breath Away
At least with Mandy Moore it was good karaoke. I didn't know and still don't know what she's trying to prove here but little did I know that the worst was yet to come.

20. Twista ft. Kanye West - Slow Jamz
I don't care what she likes, that doesn't mean you have to make a song about it and certainly not a horrible one that drops as many names which aren't relevant to any sort of point as this. Seriously, do you realize how big of a dork you sound like?

19. Sarah Connor - Bounce
I can't believe I have to put this one all the way down to #19, because I'm fairly sure the first time this song was released (as "Family Affair") it landed higher on the respective year's Annoying List. I guess everything else just became worse.

18. Destiny's Child - Soldier
I don't know what the hell they're trying to get across with this either, but it ain't working. On a side note, given DC3's past pretentiousness and overall stupidity and annoyingness I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to cash in on current events with a title like that.

17. D, 12, M, & M - My Band
A horrible idea of a mess that sounds like crap and features the featured artist only to become a hit.

16. Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved
This song is wrong on so many levels. First off, this girl is 18, which just seems way too young for me (even though it's only three years). That in itself wouldn't be horrible, but then with that voice the singer sounds like he either 12, flaming gay, or both. If he's 12, then he sounds like he's trying too hard (which he probably is anyway), and from hearing that kind of flaming gay voice one can only wonder what he means by "queen." Or even better/worse depending on your viewpoint, "she will be loved." And it doesn't end there. "She" is still 18, and that's way too young to start becoming a beautiful queen, and makes this disaster of a song sound like the theme for "Miss Drag America" or whatever.

15. Jessica Simpson - Angels
Just because you like it doesn't mean you have to fucking ruin it. How much that from now on when popheads hear the original they'll think it's a remake by some no-name dude? Thanks for ruining Robbie Williams's US career before it even started.

14. John Mayer - Daughters
Putting fathers, daughters, and lovers in the same chorus is not just annoying, it's perverse, and he's obviously doing it because it's the only thing that will get him a hit. John Mayer now has the distinction of being the only male on the list of people who bother me by breathing.

13. Uncle Kracker - Rescue
Please rescue me from hearing this godawful mess which is still currently infiltrating radio waves all over New Zealand. You shouldn't be trying to do sappy sentimental faux country just because Kid Rock is and neither of you should be making music to begin with anyway!

12. JoJo - Leave (Get Out)
She has just as much business being on my radio or on the soundspeakers at any store I go to as she thinks the dude that she's telling off has being with her but the worst part is that she doesn't have a friggin clue.

11. Christina Aguilera ft. Missy Elliott - Car Wash
I don't know why on earth these two would want to sing about working at a car wash... or why they'd want to make something this horrible.

10. Beyonce - Naughty Girl
Make like a tree and leaf. Er, I mean, go away. Hearing this makes me resolve to want to cut my own throat. (Oh, and after crap after crap such as this, now can some of you understand why I'm absolutely sure 100% that anything by her and them gets an F- without hearing?)

9. Hoobastank - The Reason
I don't know how this generic geared for soccer moms play it safe pop rock song got to #1 on alternative and they still had alternative credibility during its first 100000000000000 spins. This belongs with Pay the Fuse, StereoRay, and Von Girl and has the added demerit of being whiny without reason. I mean, if I found a reason for me to change who I used to be, a reason to start over new, and the reason is you, then i certainly wouldn't whine about it.

8. Frankee - F.U.R.B.
This gets an F- simply because it never should have been made. If you need other reasons, you can have those too. I hate her voice and the lyrics are so fucking stupid, that hearing this makes me want to learn Chinese and forget every trace of English that I've ever learned just so if this horrible song comes on when I'm listening to the radio or at the store or wherever then I won't have a damn clue what she's saying.

7. Usher and some other morons - Yeah!
Oh, hell no. Annoying beats, annoying lack of melody, and worst of all, incredibly annoying lyrics. I was desperate for anyone to replace Ja Rule as most overexposed, but I don't even think he made something this bad.

6. Beyonce - Me Myself & I
Any song with that title is never going to be good due to implicit self-righteous indignation (thanks friday ), and anything by her is not going to be good either. Put two and two together to get the sixth most horrible song of the year.

5. Ashlee Simpson - Shadow
Why does she not realize that making a song as horrible and prentious as this renders her as inferiour to the human race!

4. Destiny's Child - Lose My Breath
Make some noise, baby boy, make me lose my breath, blah blah blah I don't care what they're saying because DC3 has reached a new low and they, Darkchild, and these poor excuse for lyrics are horrible and so is everything else about this mess that sounds like a severed head in a blender.

3. Liz Phair - Extraordinary
I say the inclusion of this is why Starbucks Hear Music Vol. 9 went out of print so quickly. And I don't even blame Starbucks for immediately jumping at the chance to put a new Liz Phair song on their compilation before the album was released. How were they supposed to know how awful she was capable of becoming? This can work as a perfect substitute for a stomach pump. I mean, how the hell else am I supposed to react to the picture on the front of that CD cover screaming "IIIIIIII AM EXTRAORDINARY"? Besides that her voice is irritating. The words are irritating. The average-everyday-sane-kinda-psycho line is elementary, unoriginal, and pretentious at the same time.

2. Katy Rose - Overdrive
Teenage dumb@$$ crashes onto the music scene with a song that has no point and sounds like she's having a seizure all over her guitar. Awful. (But on a side note, I'm glad she re-released this, because I overlooked it on last year's Annoying List.)

1. Maria Mena - You're the Only One
I had a two paragraph essay typed out on why this is the most revolting thing to hit the airwaves in the last 52 weeks, but then I remembered a quote that sums it up and is written much more precisely and accurately than anything I ever said:
"It's like Alanis Morissette Jr. meets a steaming pile of shit." -Nomahhhhh

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I hate her voice and the lyrics are so f**king stupid, that hearing this makes me want to learn Chinese and forget every trace of English that I've ever learned just so if this horrible song comes on when I'm listening to the radio or at the store or wherever then I won't have a damn clue what she's saying.

FRICKIN' HILARIOUS!
Nominated best way to avoid a song 2005!

[Jeffster]

Well it's about time you posted this! ;)

I think "Redneck Woman" is fun, but I can understand how anyone would find it annoying, I just don't.

However, the following is grossly innaccurate:

Corporate said:

45. Wilson Phillips - Go Your Own Way
A remake of a mediocre-sounding "classic" by a mediocre band nowhere near deserving of the staying power they have achieved redone by another mediocre band also nowhere near deserving of their staying power and with no chance of turning it tolerable.

First of all, "Go Your Own Way" IS a classic. Fleetwood Mac is not mediocre. They are deserving of their staying power. Wilson Phillips is not a band, and they don't have any staying power. They had one hit album and now mild success with an album of remakes 12 years later.

So, with that being said, how #45 should read:

A classic song by a classic artist is remade in a slow, boring style by a reunited vocal group who had one hit album and attempted a comeback with an album of slow, boring versions of previous hits, some classics, some forgettable even in their original versions.

There ya go. Glad I could help. ;) Other than that, the list looks pretty good. If I had actually heard the pop version of "Party For Two" before the end of 2004, it would have been on my list too. The country version was and the pop version is even WORSE. I haven't heard either of your top 2, so I'll have to take your word for it. I can't understand how they could be more annoying than "The Reason", though. That song set new records for annoyance. It should be higher (or is that lower?) on your list.

[kingLUKE22]

Wow... I have never agreed with a list more. There are maybe a handful of exceptions on this list, but for the most part, almost every song you mentioned was complete crap, worthy of causing me to rip off my ears and puke for days. Here are my  grades for the songs in your list:

9. BUTTERFLY BOUCHER

LOL, how is this song overrated? I barely heard anything about it away from the boards, and even here only a few people charted it highly (myself included). 

[Matt4319]

Well, none of the songs on your list are ones that I'd rate in the A or even B+ range, so I'm cool with it.

22 of the 45 songs I heard made my top 100 (less than half).
11 of the 45 made my top 50.
5 of the 45 made my top 20.
None made the top 15.

I like how my top 2 horrible songs of 2004 are also in your top 5. The ones I like I can understand why you don't.

LOL, how is this song overrated? I barely heard anything about it away from the boards, and even here only a few people charted it highly (myself included). 

True, she hasn't gotten that much overexposure, but everytime I've heard anything about her at all it's been nothing but praise and I think she's nothing special, so that's why I say it's overrated.

ok so ive lived in new zeland for nearly 19 years now and ive only heard this song here a handful of times, and they were all on rick dees AC chart show, so i dont know where u get this info from.

I've only been here for a few weeks, but I've heard it an average of about 6.4 times per day. If you're in Auckland tune into Easy Listening Eye or Classic Hits and you'll hear it before the end of the hour.

Any song with that title is never going to be good due to implicit self-righteous indignation (thanks friday )

lol, I feel like I should know what you're referring to, but I don't.

I just wish you did this before I did my list. I can't believe I left off "All At Sea", when that should've easily made my top 20 worst songs.

I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I did when I read this:

I had a two paragraph essay typed out on why this is the most revolting thing to hit the airwaves in the last 52 weeks, but then I remembered a quote that sums it up and is written much more precisely and accurately than anything I ever said:
"It's like Alanis Morissette Jr. meets a steaming pile of s**t." -Nomahhhhh
