Music you loved, and music you hated as a kid

[Mxx]

Let's say the cut-off age of "as a kid" is 16.

Loved (still love)


Hated (still hate)

"Linger" is slightly amusing if you think of it as a song about a fart. But that only makes it tolerable on occasion.

I had a long list, but wisely someone has capped it at five, lol.

I loved a lot of the upbeat radio when I was a kid, starting in around 1982 (I was 8), peaking in 1985 (at 11) or so and receding by 1989 (13):

Spoiler: loved

You get the idea

I hated the sadder and/or more harmonically sophisticated songs:

Spoiler: hated

this is exemplified by this genesis song:

[Ptah]

Loved

Spoiler: I'll go there...

Hated

Spoiler: Yup

"Oldies", almost anything pre-80s. Still have no interest if not actively hate.

Spoiler: Specific hate, as such

Anything and everything by the Beatles. Such noise.

LOL. The Beatles = kindergarten music. They must be the only band where every single fucking cover song is better than the original. Instead of an hommage, it's more like a disgrace to the band. I actually had to go to a Beatles theme performance because my sister sings, and realized I do like a few of their songs now. It should be noted however that I have no taste in music and it's only getting worse.

Used to hate and now like (there's more but this is offensive enough):



(And they all look so adorable in this video - I can even forget Lennon's a shithead)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR!

I even learned how to play this at one point.


This one I'm posting more for the benefit of others. It's bound to be a favorite.

I despised this song:

This is a song I hated:




But this always seemed uplifting:

(Perfect Strangers intro)

Oh holy crap, my parents didn't let me watch that show because they said it was too stupid. (Same rule applied to a few other sitcoms, all soap operas, and weirdly, Jem & The Holograms)

And everybody knows what the best 80s intro song is. Don't ask me why my parents let me watch this one, I was only 8 years old and all of these characters are fucked up. Two neurotic psychoanalysts, one douchebag playboy, a well-meaning idiot, an annoying prude, a frigid bitch and a foul mouthed shrew. Sometimes I wonder if it shaped any of my views later in life.

Uhhh... Jem was incredibly stupid. It wasn't the stupidest cartoon show of the era. Or even the creepiest.

Behold: The Nightmare Fuel that was Turbo Teen!


I've probably seen every episode. Twice.
