Absolutely. I cringe every time I hear it. It's a terrible metaphor- at least I hope it's a metaphor. It's whiney and melodramatic, and the strings just make that worse.

Other than that... I've been a pretty big Lucero fan for a while, but most of their new album really fell flat for me. Same with a lot of Ryan Adams' stuff, even though I think he's a fantastic singer and songwriter.

'Everybody Needs Love' -Drive By Truckers
A lot of '80s Bowie comes to mind as well.

I figure that if I like everything a band does, they're not trying hard enough.

Pretty much any time that Keith does lead vocal on a Stones song.

It seems like Neil Young has one clunker on every album. The above-mentioned "A Man Needs A Maid", "Old King" off Harvest Moon, "Farmer John" off Ragged Glory, and "Requiem for the Rockets" off Everybody Knows... come immediately to mind.

Michael Stipe has stated that Shiny Happy People was a deliberate attempt for the band to create a "Bananna Splits - B52" childlike ditty. That of course does not justify it, but if that was the intent then I would say that they pulled it off ..... just sayin.

I love Pete Townsend in The Who but as soon as he went solo... complete crap. Rough Boys? seriously Pete?

Counting Crows. When they started out I really liked their first album - "August & Everything After". The next two albums were good also. Then the commercial singles started appearing; "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Accidentally In Love" - WTF? They sound like a Disney teenybopper outfit. Man, I hate to say it but they really suck now and their songwriting craft appears to have vanished. I cannot remember a band that I liked so much initially go so far south. Also, while I thought of it - "half of the White Album" Really? WOW .... in your defense George Martin would agree with you.

I hate everything about REM, but like the B-52's.
The only REM song I ever liked was "Stand" because it was so bad and dorky it passed through bad and dorky, toward cool. Everything else they did never made it back around and just stayed whiny, or dorky or pseudo-neu bohemian

Have you checked out any of "Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings"? They took some time to tour after releasing those 2 you mentioned, and they came up with a pretty cool, decidedly non-teenyboppy album. It's pretty uneven like a lot of their efforts, but it's got some real gems on there.

I may have this title slightly wrong-Hi Ho Silver Linning by Jeff Beck. My English friends said they would close the pubs with this one. I never understood. I love Jeff Beck and he did have great Tele tone on about five notes in this number, otherwise I can't beleive they could get everyone in Pub to sing this....

Long and Winding Road by you know who. Lame - soft-rock.

Big Yellow Taxi is a Joni Mitchell cover, btw.
