Been a bad boy or girl?
It's non-stop music from George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley (a.k.a. WHAM!) in this room.
Masochists are invited to keep the prisoners company, and weirdness is always encouraged here...

Nice. I think I'm going to cry. Too much nostalgia.

I never found the WHAM! room on RS. I am undeserving of this punishment opportunity.
Which is really too bad, because I love pain. Everything from razor blades to the Kid Rock concert I attended with/for a friend.

I'll take the blades any fucking day over the latter.  |

I'm sure I said this before, but that song he does with Sheryl Crow is quite possibly the absolute worst fucking song I've ever heard. I know everyone says that about most bad songs, but I'm actually convinced if someone asked me to make a list, it would be number fucking 1.
Awful.

"Livin' mah laahf in a slow hell..."
Thanks a lot bitch. "Fake Plastic Trees" uprooted by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow.

I'm sort of immune to that song. It's Steve's 80-year-old grandma's very favourite song right now (does that tell you something?) so I hear it often at family gatherings.
So count me as a non-fan, but a non-hater. Definitely can think of a million songs I hate more. Mostly I just think it's cute to see his grandparents dance to Kid Rock... and even cuter that Grandma thought she'd like a Kid Rock CD because she figured he always sounded that way!

I know everyone says that about most bad songs, but I'm actually convinced if someone asked me to make a list, it would be number fucking 1. Awful. Oh Dog, I am SO with you on this. This has completely soured me on Sheryl Crow, who I was awfully fond of throughout the nineties. That song is simply wretched ... wretched I say! |

OK, the song sucks - but am I missing something? Is it really the worst song ever? Cuz to me it just sounds sort of inoffensive and boring... no worse than a hundred thousand relatively uninteresting songs.
I'm starting to worry about my tastes now, since I don't seem to object to that song nearly violently enough!

Tunes -- If I hadn't had a long standing soft spot for Sheryl Crow, I might have been able to dismiss that duet with Kid Rock the same way you have. But it's just such a huge step down from her best work ... it just sickens me to hear it. So I may be guilty of a bit of over-reaction ... though it also might be that it's just a really, really, awful song that you've been sensitized to via the family. Sort of like getting a flu shot, I guess.

To be honest, I don't think I'd ever heard that song before I heard it at a family function whenever it was that it came out... so I've just always associated it with the elderly. Go figure. I was a big fan of Sheryl Crow's earlier output as well... but to be honest, I was already so disillusioned by C'mon C'mon that this was just another drop in the bucket.  |

Well, I could've written off C'mon C'mon as being, well, a mistake. A big, fat, awful mistake, but simply a matter of making the wrong choices in the writing and recording process. But between the flat G'n'R cover and this awful duet with Kid Rock (ya know, I don't even know the name of this song!), it's sounding like more and more of a trend. That cover of First Cut is the Deepest wasn't anything great, and her current single is another snoozer IMO. So I guess this Kid Rock duet kind of marks the moment when I became an ex-fancier of Ms. Crow.
I'd rather remember her with My Favorite Mistake or Leaving Las Vegas than with this crap.

I definitely agree that she's fallen into a pattern of blandness (like I said, I don't ENJOY that Kid Rock duet by any means - I just don't care enough to hate it!)
I haven't heard her latest single yet - but I was completely bored with her cover of First Cut is the Deepest. Yawn.

My mom likes that song. Absolutely embarrassing. I do for sure believe it's the worst song ever.
I actually own that first Kid Rock CD where he's doing the rap/rock thing (because he had, like, twenty before that.) I never minded it, and was always impressed by that "Slim Shady" guy who was on the track "Fuck Off." Almost a year later, I heard "My Name Is" on MTV, and I was all, "Dude, that's that fucking guy on the Kid Rock CD!"
I really dunno if the Crow song is worse that Kid Rock's cover or "Feel Like Making Love," though. Guess the Crow bit sticks to your head like peanut butter on the brain, though, so maybe it's a touch worse...
I like WHAM!!! There, I said it. Well, I like "Careless Whisper" and a couple solo Michael songs. So yeah, I never minded this room at all. Certainly not as bad a Kid Rock room, or a room filled with what is currently the worst song on the radio, that song by Lost Prophets that goes, "AND WE SIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG!!!" Now that song, that song sucks.
