111 Wussiest Songs

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:
 
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

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

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. :eek:

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

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:
 
Althogh it was only 104, I'm surprised Springsteen made the list. Although "Born in the USA" was by far his 'cheesiest' sounding album.
 
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.
 
I have two songs.
  • 'I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman' by Britney Spears
  • 'I Want It That Way' by Backstreet Boys

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:
 
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
 
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. ;)

Yup.

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

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