Well, you see, if you were a boy you'd never have forgotten that video in the first place.
Yup, yup yup.
Personally, my ire is reserved for any band that someone introduces to me with the words "You won't have heard of these guys..."

And Youtube being blocked means I can't subject myself to all your musical tastes or distastes.
Back when I first came to China in '99 Celine Dion's This Song Will Go On and On and On was on endless repeat everywhere. Her and the Carpenters, Kenny G, Richard Marx...
And Jay Chou. Partly because he seems to spend more time advertising junk than actually making music, but mostly because he's pompous and self-important and so painfully cool, almost rivalling Bono.

I challenge anyone to listen to Frank Zappa's "Jazz from Hell" all the way through.

That Mungo Jerry has even worse memories for me: when I first went to boarding school all newbies (I was in the 5th form) had to sing a song chosen for them by the prefects. That was my chosen tune.
Needless to say tune wasn't the right word as I progressed and half-way thru I was dragged off and made to eat half a block of soap.

This from Canadian illustrator Graham Roumieu sums it up for me. Although ‘My Sharona’ could equally do the business.

The complete Buddha Bar series (try eating out on South East Asian tropical isles and avoiding that shite)
Heh, I've got a soft spot for China Dolls, despite them getting a thrashing the entire time I was in Thailand way back. I had the words to "O Jep" (never known the spelling), nearly down pat, and the family I was staying with absolutely pissed themselves every time it came on the radio and I was singing along with gusto. I thought that was because of my appalling barbarian accent, but a friend told me just before I left that the main chorus line is "It hurts! It hurts! It really, really hurts!", and that it was a song by a teenage girl about losing her virginity.

He sounded hell of a like Jim Morrison. The only mystery for me was whether it was deliberate.
Think it was well-known that Joy Division were Doors fans. Opening nearly at random Paul Morley's book about JD (Joy Division: Piece by Piece), he writes that Closer was "made by people who had been big fans of music by Can, Kraftwerk, the Doors, Love, the Velvet Underground, Black Sabbath, Neu!, Throbbing Gristle, the Sex Pistols, Bowie, Buzzcocks and Brian Eno". A good list, but apparently Joy Division were worried that parts of Closer sounded like Genesis. Fair enough, as Genesis were easily the second-worst band in the history of rock music. The worst being:
