Quite possibly Sweet Home alabama....ugh

Or anything that can be considered Australian pub-rock...barring the hoodoo gurus

I REFUSE to put a song on this post that is hated because it was so successful. When people put Stairway to Heaven and stuff on it shows they're trying to be cool. Same people that think Barney is the Anti-Christ. It doesn't make you cool and anti-establishment. It makes you stupid.

My answer is the Celine Deion version of John Lennon's Christmas song. Here's why:

When John said "...and what have you done.." it meant something. At that time the country was out of control. People had issues everywhere. When Celine says it, she is just singing. She sounds so SMUG like she's really imagining it's her song. I can't stand it. It should be pulled off the air on principle alone!

What other bands would you consider to be Australian pub-rock? (Out of interest, 'cause I am also Australian and kinda know what you're talking about)

That drives me nuts when people do that.

I've always had a strong, deep seeded hatred towards Smells Like Teen Spirit. I don't know why either.

I was never a fan of Australian pub rock scene. Chisel/Barnes, INXS and Hunters & Collectors, The Angles are a few that come to mind. I always found my self disappointed that these generic style rock bands that offered little made massive sales and sold out gigs while something unique sounding like The Triffids just as an example was being given short shrift. If I ever ever hear Khe San again it will be far too soon. Appalling karaoke classic that has a generation of beer swilling 40 something males crying in their Crown Lagers at BBQ's. Yuk!

When l looked over the Tasman at the scene in New Zealand I had a sense that there was something vital scene happening with the Dunedin sound and I was missing out. What did we have? Bogan and Classic rock radio force fed to a less than discerning public.

As to Stairway To Heaven I am no cool kid being some hipster. I purchased 4 on release but I genuinely detest hearing it. This song alone is Chinese water torture to my ears. It is Led Zeppelins poorest song ever IMO. After seeing the greybeard Zep fans crying their myopic eyes out at that reunion gig like some latter day weeny boppers, I realised that these defenders of all that is good in music scuse my sarcasm, had become a parody and were crying for a lost youth. I hate their beery BBQ's as well.

Piss Me Off

I'm cool anyway and Stairway To Heaven is complete wank.

No it's because I find it to be eight minutes of pure tedium.

I do, too. I just think there are some people who are on the "hate what used to rock even though I liked it, too" bandwagon.

Urban Hat€monger ?

Sorry I think that's total bollocks.

I think people who may have liked it at one time go off it because it's so fucking overplayed , not to look cool or jump on any bandwagons.
