Worst songs of 04

In no particular order, here's the songs that have made me want to pull my hair out when they came on the radio.

Let me love you - Mario
This isn't a song, it's stream-of-consciousness smooth talking by some Mario guy. He just rambles on and on ("Girl, you done me wrong. Just let me love you right, yadda, yadda") with no clear destination. It's like listening to Smoove B put to a drum track.

She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
This has to win the award for wussiet-song-ever. The point where he leaps into the falsetto, "she wheeeeelll, be loved..." is when the hair on the back of neck stands up. Yes, the wimp meter is peaking.

Where's The Love/Get It Started - Black Eyed Peas
It takes a lot of guts (or lack of brains) to look at the problems of the world and challenge them by asking, "Where's the love?". And yet the Black Eyed Peas do just that. Wow, Peas. Did yo make that up yourself? This song could not be more annoying and less insightful. Not to be outdone they follow up their hit with a song consisting of the following words: "Let's get it started - hah! Let's get it started, in here! (Repeat 100 times) Whoo hooo! (Repeat 200 times)" These guys may be the next Dylan.

Welcome To My Life - Simple Plan
Is there anything more annoying then listening to the rich, preppy, white, poser boys of simple plan tell me that I don't know what it's like to be, lost, hurt, betrayed, etc.? As they say, "You don't know what it's like, To be like me." Whoops, I forgot that non-celebrities can't have human emotions. Just read the lyrics and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Anything by Ashlee Simpson
There's some serious Biblical justice being visited upon Ashlee at the moment and after viewing her career you can see why. And her music stinks.

Headstrong - Taproot
This song for me is the epitome of the post-metal/grunge genre. It sounds like everything else on the radio, has an overly-macho vibe and somehow deserved to be played 10 million times on every radio station across the country.

This Love - Maroon5
Wow, Maroon5 again. They've had quite the year. 2 songs with two incredibly annoying choruses.

The Reason - Hoobastank
The lyrics to to this song are about what you'd find on the inside of a 1 dollar greeting card but that didn't stop the radio from playing it 'til it bled.

And finally, the most annoying thing in 2004:

Excessively negative people
