Songs you hate, but everybody else loves? [View all]

My nominee for this dubious distinction is the Beatles' Hey Jude. Every year over the Memorial Day weekend, when the Beatles channel on Sirius satellite radio plays the Top 100 Beatles songs as voted on by their listeners, that song always is in the top five. One year at least, it was number one.

(This year it was number one or two. I was listening but wasn't able to listen to the top two because I had to stop listening to deal with an emergency. Somebody please tell me what those top two were. I'm sure Hey Jude was one of them.)

I can't stand that song. It is WAY too monotonous, it goes ON and ON and ON and ON, and even before all the seemingly endless na-na-nas begin, it does little for me. I love the Beatles, I think they're the best band EVER, nobody else is even close, and yet, there are a few Beatles songs I don't like. Just a few, but Hey Jude is at the top of that list. When Hey Jude comes on the Beatles channel, I change the channel, or turn the radio off. I just simply cannot take the monotony.
