[Agent Smith]

http://music.aol.com/feature/111-wussiest-songs-111-102

Admittedly, I have 9 of them :o

Not sure that I agree with #1 though...

[2nyRiggz]

Okay I have one of them and a redone of "How deep is your love" but I wish I had some of them like:

Iris
All outta Love
Your body is a wonderland

Oh and clay is one ugly mutha..


Bless

[WildCowboy]

Oh, yeah...I've got about 15-20 of them (most of them on CD, too).

There's probably about 20 more on that list that I wish I had.

:o

[spicyapple]

Nothing wrong with love songs, as long it's not from boy bands.

ps. Shiny Happy People is an awesome song!

[pknz]

I have 10.

[Graeme A]

i have an awful lot of those on my ipod and hidden in CD collections.

dont have the country ones or some of the more modern ones but if its from the 80's or 90's, i will have to put my hand up to own up...

and just what is wrong with Shiny Happy People? Not the best song but nothing to be ashamed of.
Unlike some of the songs in the Guilty Pleasures lists on ITMS...

[ejb190]

I have about 22 of them. A few of those are among my favorite songs!

Admittedly, I have 9 of them :o

Not sure that I agree with #1 though...

I have eleven of them...I will now hang my head in shame :o

I'm surprised Paul McCartney only made the list twice. "Yesterday" is pretty wussy. And "Pipes Of Peace" is really craptacular.

EDIT:This link (http://music.aol.com/blender/wussiest-artists-ever-robert-smith) is pretty good, too...

[4JNA]

found 19 that i DON'T have.

funny how different people define music...:rolleyes:

did make me laugh that the 'wussiest' list was on AOL. a match made in heaven!

[imacintel]

Penny Lane. The Beatles.

[puckhead193]

jim croche is bad music... WTF

[sushi]

Guess I am a wuss! ;) :D

[fusionstudios]

Who compiled this list? Ahhhh...our good friends from AOL. figures:rolleyes:

[ejb190]

Did I just miss it or was "Don't Worry, Be Happy" not on that list...

[Silencio]

Wow. Dan Fogelberg was robbed! "Longer" is, without a doubt, the wussiest song ever committed to magnetic tape.

[DZ/015]

I stopped reading the list at the fourth song, #108. Anyone who would put Eric Clapton on a "wuss" list needs to be beaten, severely.

[dsnort]

Don't own any of these at this time but will tell you I will get Croce's "Time in a Bottle" soon for nostalgia. (When I was High School that song could strip the panties off a nun!)

[4JNA]

tru dat! :eek:

most of this list just made me want to go roller skating and drink fruity flavored icey things...

[katie ta achoo]

Mandy, by Barry Manilow is NOT a wussy song! HE WAS IN LOVE!

*quietly coos*
oh, don't worry Barry... soon, everyone will appreciate your manly, non-wuss-like love for Mandy.

I agree with a lot of those, though.

But not Barry. :D

[zephead]

I only have 5. :cool: :p

[spicyapple]

I have 55 on that list. :D

[revjay]

I have 21 of those songs in my library...one of them was, in fact, the first song I ever downloaded from iTunes...Leaving on a Jetplane...my daughter loves that song...don't ask me why.

[mdntcallr]

I got a woos song:

"We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off"(To have a good time) by Jermaine Stewart

[looklost]

Damn it!!! I have seven, but what is even worst is that I have the number one wuss song by REM in my itunes collection.

I such a f@#ing WUSS :eek:

[beatsme]

what is even worst is that I have the number one wuss song by REM in my itunes collection.

me too :D

[WildCowboy]

what is even worst is that I have the number one wuss song by REM in my itunes collection.

Out of Time...first CD I ever bought. And I bought it two months before I bought my first CD player...it looked nice on my bookshelf. :cool:

[Abstract]

How is "Crash Into Me" by Dave Matthews is a "wussy" song? He's talking about how he likes f***ing girls, and wants them to hike up their skirts. The guy at AOL who put that song on the list is a wuss.

And how did Boyz 2 Men, Goo Goo Dolls, and MatchBox 20 not flood that list? They're softer than horse poo and they only have like 2 songs on the list between them. Same with Celine Dion.


I have 3 songs from that list. :) I have:

"Crash Into Me" by the Dave Matthews Band (not that wuss)
Fix You by Coldplay (I know, I know)
"To Be With You" by Mr Big (fantastic song) :D

[WildCowboy]

"To Be With You" by Mr Big (fantastic song) :D

The whole album (Lean Into It) is great...another one of my early CD purchases. :D

[DZ/015]

"To Be With You" by Mr Big (fantastic song) :D

Aaaaaahh, no way! After listening to Paul Gilbert's work with Racer X, a song like this one hurts. Physically. Really.

[Jaffa Cake]

The one that pops straight into my head is Loving You by Minnie Ripperton – glad to see it's on the list but I'm a little disappointed it only made 78. :o

[PlaceofDis]

what annoys me about things like this is that love songs aren't neccissarily 'wussy' and how would you define 'wussy' either depends on the person. but this is AOL what do you expect.

[Silencio]

The one that pops straight into my head is Loving You by Minnie Ripperton – glad to see it's on the list but I'm a little disappointed it only made 78. :o

The cutsiness of the song is explained by the fact that it was written about Ripperton's young daughter (trivia answer: Maya Rudolph, currently of SNL).

I'm also wondering how any songs sung by females were allowed on the list. Not too often you hear a woman called a "wussy"; they're generally allowed a much wider range of expression in music. I guess they're really wussy if you're a guy and you like the song. :p

[emw]

I'm surprised Paul McCartney only made the list twice. "Yesterday" is pretty wussy. And "Pipes Of Peace" is really craptacular.They state at the end that there is only one song per artist (PM probably got one credit as himself and one as a Beatle?). I thought that might be the case when I found only a single Air Supply ballad. :rolleyes:

[®îçhå®?]

That i regularly listen to, 11. That i have: around 90 :p I am such a soppy ass.

[bartelby]

I have 3 of them!

[Jschultz]

Althogh it was only 104, I'm surprised Springsteen made the list. Although "Born in the USA" was by far his 'cheesiest' sounding album.

[patrick0brien]

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyes! Only ONE baby!!

Whew - I was a bit worried too...

[satty]

After seeing the songs on the list, I am very happy that I don't have a single one of them. :D

[iGav]

The 100 wussiest songs, and no Glenn Medeiros? hmmmmmmmmm.

[joepunk]

I have one fracking song from that list in my iTunes collection... #64 'I Just Called To Say I Love You' Stevie Wonder.

And it is not even from my CD collection. It was from my roommates collection . There are others coldplay, the beattles, paul mccartney and others that are floating on CDs from my dads stash. Thankfully we have filtered out many others after my mother died.

[XNine]

I for one am surprised that U2's entire catalog didn't make up that list.

[viccles]

I only have 4 of them :o

[iShane]

I have 11 between iTunes, my iPod and my old CD collections. :o

[eMac4ever]

I have two songs.

'I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman' by Britney Spears
'I Want It That Way' by Backstreet Boys

[Jaffa Cake]

The cutsiness of the song is explained by the fact that it was written about Ripperton's young daughter (trivia answer: Maya Rudolph, currently of SNL).Wouldn't that make the line 'Making love with you/Is all I want to do...' a bit on the dodgy side, though?

She does sing 'Maya, Maya, Maya...' at the end of the song though... :confused:

[Josias]

WTH is wrong with Your Body Is A Wonderland and Crash Into Me? Yes, they are quiet, but why are they wussy? I agree with most of the stuff, but putting these two songs on that list, could only be done by a know-it-all metallica freak, music-n00b with IQ of 23 freak.

Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer are some of the most cleverest musicians in the world, and quiet songs may not be the taste of said metallica freaks, yet these are geniously written, and should in no way be considered wussy. Having a meaning doesn't make a song wussy.

I understand that many people which I call *pop-tosser*, are fascinated by music that simply just sounds like something I wouldn't shove up Kerry's nose, if you know the slightest thing about music, you will discover that people like i.e. John Mayer and Dave Matthews are amongst the most clever musicinas in the world, and make the most geniously composed and cool music available.

I don't really get the point of putting down songs like these. Right next to them on their albums, are songs such as Neon and Too Much, which no one in their right mind will out down (except pop-tosser).

'nuff said. around 2% of this list is bullpoo.:D

[telecomm]

Just one here, but the Cure should really get an honourary discharge, I think they've earned it.

Gotta say, though, Dave Matthews always did strike me as a bit of a wuss. ;)

[thedude110]

and how would you define 'wussy' either depends on the person.

Yup.

There's some weird (ordinary?) gender stuff going on in this thread ...

[OutThere]

Arg I have 15 of them :cool:

[rockthecasbah]

I own all of the following (and love them all so there :p )

The Monkees - Daydream Believer
The Cure - Friday I'm In Love :eek:
Simon and Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
The Beatles - When I'm 64 :eek:
Both The Postal Service / Iron and Wine - Such Great Heights :eek:
Coldplay - Fix You

#1 is completely wrong, that song kicks ass :p

[®îçhå®?]

No 1 shouldnt be there. But yeah, on closer inspection of my itunes library, i have 97 of those songs :o That does make me feel a bit of a wuss, despite only really listening to only 9 of them regularly.

[Cassie]

I have five of them, but find it wierd that "With Arms wide open" by Creed, was on the list... That song isnt wussy. Sure, it's about a grown man singing about his kid.. his first born kid. and besides you really have to hear the song a couple times to really comprehend what he is talking about.

"What hurts the most" by Rascal Flatts is not one of my favorites, but I still have it. and the lead singer may have a really high voice register, but he puts that to his advantage and thats why thousands of people listen to the band.

I'm not going to give a description of the other 3 songs I have, but they are:
"Don't Cry"-Guns N' Roses
"Don't take the girl"-Tim McGraw
"I Want It That Way"-Backstreet Boys



Of course, these are my opinions. I'm sure people are going to disagree with me. But what the hell, disagreeing with people is one of my favorite pastimes:D

[zap2]

Mandy-Barry Manilow
Our House-Crosbys, Stills and Nash
Bad Day- Daniel Powter
When I'm 64-Beatles
'You've Got a Friend-James Taylo
Fix You-Coldplay
Do You Really Want to Hurt Me-Culture Club
'You're Beautiful'-James Blunt

All in my iTunes...and I stand by them all!

[bigandy]

There's actually only one single song on that list I like, and that's Tupac's Dear Mama. But I don't like it much. And it's the only one I have.


'You're Beautiful'-James Blunt
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce the wettest fish of a musician ever to walk the streets of anywhere.

And this guy was in the Army apparently? I wonder why he left... :rolleyes: probably got a splinter from his pencil one night....

[Silencio]

Wouldn't that make the line 'Making love with you/Is all I want to do...' a bit on the dodgy side, though?

She does sing 'Maya, Maya, Maya...' at the end of the song though... :confused:

:confused: sums it up pretty well. Guess we can chalk it down to family values in general...

I didn't make an exact tally of my own "wussy" collection, but it's probably 6 or 7 songs.

[KilGil27]

I have a lot of those :mad:

[Loge]

Only one - When I'm sixty-four.

[solvs]

Mandy, by Barry Manilow is NOT a wussy song!
Well, it is the favorite of a 250 year old vampire (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/articles/content/a2709/index-8.html). Though I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I own a lot of these (not even going count how many), but then I have a really extensive music collection and you never know what kind of mood you're going to be in. Plus I need to listen to them so I can do them justice when I sing to them at karaoke. Usually drunkenly and badly, but still.

Besides, it's just an arbitrary list by a bunch of computer geeks, so take that as you will.

[jdechko]

I have a few of them.

The thing is, I really don't care about what songs the writers at AOL say are "Wussy". I like the music that I like and no one else's opinion will make me dislike a song. I might listen to someones song recommendations, but I won't stop listening because someone else doesn't like it (unless it's my wife and we're in the car).

[KingYaba]

I only have the Guns 'n Roses song.

[Abstract]

Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer are some of the most cleverest musicians in the world...

Come now, let's not get too carried away. ;)

[2nyRiggz]

Crash into me is a great song...I don't know whats so wussy about it. I wish I could find that song again..my friend took the CD and I havent seen him in three years.




Bless

[CubaTBird]

Guess I am a wuss! ;) :D

No, your a nice guy.:p

[emw]

Crash into me is a great song...I don't know whats so wussy about it. I wish I could find that song again..my friend took the CD and I havent seen him in three years.
Yeah, it is a good song. I only wish it were available somewhere (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=135988273&s=143441&i=135988305)...
