Interesting idea for a thread. But it would be cool to read the sources of when and where they said they didn't like songs.

Britney doesn't dislike 'Sometimes'. She even said in a recent interview that she loves all of her past work. If you're basing this on her line from the Onyx Hotel Tour ("Wait, we forgot to do 'Sometimes'! Oh, well...I never liked that song!"), it was just a joke.
Anyway...
Mandy Moore despises 'Candy' and her first album.

Mariah Carey - Prisoner ...I think Yes. There's a funny story about this one from when she was on tour about 8 years ago. Fans from her fan club got together to approach her backstage at many of the tour dates and demand that she perform "Prisoner". After fans had approached her on several different dates asking it she finally told one fan that she hated the song when she recorded it and still hates it and is never performing it.

While Avril didn't outright say it, she was kind of sabotaging WTH in interviews on how the single doesn't reflect her material on the album. The reality is she wanted to release her album in 2009 without the Max Martin tracks which is why it was delayed until now.

I took that more as a disclaimer for those who didn't like WTH to buy the album cause "there's something for everyone". It's snot the same as her saying she doesn't like it.

Didn't Mariah say somewhere that she disliked "I Don't Wanna Cry"? Though I forgot the reason why.

Didn't Mariah say somewhere that she disliked "I Don't Wanna Cry"? Though I forgot the reason why. Oh, she hates it alright, and here's the reason - "Because of bad experiences during its production and because she feels it "doesn't have a message," Carey stated in a MTV interview that she dislikes the song and tries to sing it as rarely as possible. Carey had lobbied to co-produce the song, but was denied permission by Columbia Records. She often fought with Walden in the studio concerning the song's production, and as a result Walden became her least favorite among the producers who worked on her debut album." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Don't_Wanna_Cry

I think a similar thing happened with "Say Somethin'". It's one of the few songs in her catalog that she doesn't have production credits on. LA Reid had a hard-on for that song and tried to have it released 3 different times, and Mariah kept pushing for something else to be released. Also when she was promoting the album, she would call all the songs "favorites" but wouldn't say that about "Say Somethin'". She would talk about it from an angle other than her liking it, or she would say that some people like it but wouldn't say that she herself liked it.

Madonna said that she hated performing "Material Girl" and "Like A Virgin", but she did do both of those during several of her recent tours.

^^ none of those surprise me. Madonna said that she hated performing "Material Girl" and "Like A Virgin", but she did do both of those during several of her recent tours. Entirely made-over though. MG only appeared on RIT, and LAV on CT. On the other hand, she says her favourite songs of hers are Ray of Light and Live to Tell. I don't think it's a big issue, or much of a surprise; especially with artists who have long careers. People change, their opinions change, they play certain songs to death etc.

oops Banet2001 beat me to it.
Kurt Cobain didn't really hate "Smells Like Teen Spirit," he just never wanted it to become what it did.

John Lennon always hated a few of the songs he wrote for the Beatles. Songs like "Run For Your Life" on The Rubber Soul album, or "It's Only Love" on the original Help album.
He said in his last Playboy interview in 1980 that he never cared for either of those songs because they were simply done to "finish the album," and he never put much thought or effort into them.

DJ and Trance producer ATB said in one of his interview that he no longer stands by his hit "Don't Stop" and considers his worst production to date since it was very similar to his other hit "9PM (Till I come). Trance.nu: What do you consider to be your best production so far?ATB: My best production?? This is really hard! Haha. I really hate to give things top tens or things like that, like what is your favorite food or anything like that, so it is difficult for me to tell you what my favorite song is. For me, personally, it’s not important; I never like to think this way. You remember, as we started to talk, I said to you it’s the same on the album with my all-time productions. Now I do know I have some productions I really hate… the second release of ATB, which was “Don’t Stop”. The way I see it today is that it was just like my first release but with a new melody, and I don’t like the melody anymore. So I don’t stand behind it anymore, but all other ATB tracks I do stand behind. trance.nu/v4/interviews/andr-tanneberger-atb

Heh, I'm not surprised with this since it's true. It is almost pretty much just an inferior, carbon copy of 9pm. I never liked it either.

Rihanna and Who's That Chick (Big Hit WW anyway) She basically said it was a song that could be shopped around to anyone, said her boyfriend at that time disliked it, and later said she originally didn't like it but then decided to record it on an impulse later.

Brandon Flowers of the Killers really grew to dislike Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll, although fortunately it's not one of their big hits: Brandon Flowers has recently stated in a Rolling Stone interview that this song is his least favorite Killers song, and he "wants to crawl under a rock" when he hears the song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glamorous_Indie_Rock_%26_RollI love that song Although again... I can see why.
