    Mandy Moore has recorded some beautiful music since her teen pop days. I saw her at a free outdoor show in Cambridge MA in 2007 after she released her record 'WIld Hope' which was lovely. There was hardly anyone in the crowd that day. Sweet as pie, Mandy excitedly askes the small gathering "does anyone have a request?!" to which someone calls out "Candy!" and her face instantly falls. "No" she says, "I mean from maybe this current record, or something from my covers album?" I felt so sorry for her in that moment. She seems like such a genuine and kind person. Every artist deserves to grow up and evolve.

    Vanessa Carlton's problem is that her other songs weren't nearly as strong. Alicia Keys didn't have the Carlton problem because after "Fallin" she wrote better songs as a whole and took her fans on a journey. Even if the song didn't go to number one, the album sold extremely well.

    Smells Like Teen Spirit. While that song has been played to death both on MTV and in the years after its release, nobody hated that song as much as Kurt Cobain.

    The mention of Sinatra and growing tired of singing a song brings to mind something Barbra Streisand said in her patter on her 2010 album, "One Night Only." She talked about how, as a singer, she gets so tired of singing songs like "People" and "The Way We Were" over and over again but she says she does it for her fans. She then tells a story of being in France and going to a Jacques Brel concert and she was so thrilled because she loved his song, "Ne me quitte pas" and, he didn't sing it. She said she was heartbroken but that stayed with her: How disappointed fans will be when you as an artist don't sing their favorites and so she'll sing those old songs because she knows what they mean to the fans. (I also attended a Norah Jones concert--I think it was around the time of her second album--and the couple sitting next to me were waiting to hear her sing "Nightingale" because it had been their wedding song. And Jones didn't perform it. I didn't ask them how they felt but I had kind of hoped Norah would sing the song. And, on another note, when I saw Heart in concert a few years back, I hadn't googled to see what their tour setlist featured but I was beyond thrilled when they started playing "Dog & Butterfly"--that is probably my absolute favorite song from the Wilson Sisters. I was probably the only person who stood up and screamed in delight when the song started.)

    • @bobdavis4848

      I have most of Heart's albums and "Dog & Butterfly" is my favorite song of theirs, too. I have the 45, vinyl LP and CD. My least favorite (starts with "All...") is also Ann's least favorite. But no matter how much I like a song, I don't want the artist to perform if they are tired of it or if they now dislike it. I want the artist to do the show they want to do.

    Debbie Peterson of The Bangles has often stated that she hates "Walk Like An Egyptian." First, she was the only member of the band that didn't get to sing on the track. Second, the management and producers really wanted to focus on Susanna Hoffs, which started to cause a riff in the band, which later caused The Bangles to break up, at least temporarily.

    I would dispute the assertion that Madonna hates "Like A Virgin" more than "Material Girl". She's performed reinvented versions of LAV on most of her tours, as opposed to "Material Girl", which she tended to hate because of being referred to as such for decades afterwards. She didn't write either of these, unlike most of her output, so that may have something to do with it all as well.
    Additionally, "Fight for Your Right" came out in '86, not '87.

I have been a huge Vanessa Carlton fan since she released an album in 2011 called 'Rabbits on the Run'. I went to see her at a small club in Brighton MA soon after. There was this girl standing next to me who kept shouting out "ordinary! Play ordinary day!" over and over again.

But I so absolutely agree with the Wilsons: "All I want...." was their biggest mistake ever and I hated it from the very first time hearing it (and believe me: I listened a hundred times to it and tried to like it, only because Heart did it).

    While I can understand artists getting tired of certain songs, unless there is a truly painful memory attached (such as Brian May witnessing Freddie Mercury's self-destructive behavior and death) refusing to play a popular song for fans that pay their obscene ticket prices seems like a privileged choice. Most of us have jobs that involve doing things we don't enjoy and don't reflect our talents fully. I can understand if they (privately) dislike a song that has been overplayed or doesn't reflect their best work , but most fans want to hear a mix of old and new songs that allow them to celebrate how the music has been part of their lives.

    Two that you’ve missed are “In The End” and “Crawling.” The only person in Linkin Park who disliked them was Chester Bennington. Even though these weren’t ones he hated, he just didn’t like them as much as the other ones. With “In The End,” he thought it was nice but didn’t like it as much as the other songs on the Hybrid Theory album, mainly because it wasn’t as heavy. Now with “Crawling,” he liked it at first but he just got sick of playing it for so long because in the chorus, it’s just one note over and over again until the second verse comes in or we’ve hit the bridge.

    She wanted the song to be this hard revenge-sounding song but it came out a too Pop like and fluffy for her taste. But she still will perform it for her audience who loves it. Renee Rapp

    OK, Miley should not hate party in the USA because it is genuinely a fantastic single and one of the most memorable catchy songs of the last 20 years. I don’t care how much hate it gets, that is a great pop song. Vanessa Carlton should be grateful that 1000 miles is as beloved as it is because many artists don’t even get that. Maybe the reason people are always wanting to hear that song is because your other songs suck, Vanessa. and for the narrator to say it’s easy to see why these artists don’t like the song because people always request them, at least they’re requesting a song by them and not walking away and ignoring them. Talk about problems of the privileged.

    I once watched an interview here on CZcams of Cher and she said she doesn't like any of her songs except for I Got You Babe that one is her favorite. The reason she said that she likes I Got You Babe is because after she recorded the song with her then husband Sonny Bono before their marriage ended in divorce and before he passed away there was still a part of her where she loved him very much after their divorce and after he passed away. She said that she doesn't like all of her other songs but she sings and performs for her fans not herself. I actually really admire her for that.

    It's odd that you left Cher off of this list. Many of her most successful songs are ones she never cared for, not least of which is "If I Could Turn Back Time". I suspect there's something in her subconscious - something negative - and it's triggered by one or more elements in these songs.

    • @ratdude747

      From what I've read, she always wanted to be a rock star. But all of her rock efforts weren't successful, other than her part in Meatloaf's Dead Ringer for Love. All of her songs in other genres were attempts (often successful) to recover from a failed rock venture.

    • @Tricob1974
      @Tricob1974 Před měsícem +1

      @@ratdude747 Ah, you're forgetting about singles like "I Found Someone". :-) But yeah, her most interesting rock "fail" to me was Black Rose. The concept was fantastic; take several musicians with talent equal to Cher's, throw tradition to the wind, and record an album. The thing is, the material wasn't very focused. "Never Should Have Started" came together the best, but that's because they followed some of the traditional song-building process ... unconsciously. When they broke away from that method in their other songs, things kind of fell apart. But it sure you left you something to talk about.

    It wasn’t a big hit, but I’d add Chris Martin and “Green Eyes.” That song meant a lot to me because I have green eyes, but then I heard that Coldplay won’t perform it anymore because Chris doesn’t feel right about it since he wrote it about a former girlfriend. Kinda makes me wonder if he has similar feelings for songs he wrote for/about Gwenyth Paltrow.

    Warrant originally wrote Cherry Pie in 1989 under a different name, inspired by Guns n Roses Sweet Child o Mine and ripped off I Love Rock n Roll! The record company botched their original song and changed the theme! Jani Lane even had trauma from that song that it reminded him of his failed marriage with Bobbie Brown! Billy Joel also hates how We didn’t start the Fire has become too political and was mad that Fall Out Boy covered that song and reminded him of the original!
