Tubthumping or Semi-Charmed Life. Preferably both

I'm with @waruv, Hey Soul Sister is fucking awful.

Hey Jude. Fight me

@Sonicpharmacist I definitely wouldn't miss it.

@jamieanderson1968 Hey Jude isn't my favorite by any stretch, but I'd put the Spector version of The Long and Winding Road ahead of Hey Jude

or octapus's garden or lady madonna or yellow submarine

@TenderLovingKiller® I like all three of those.

I'm going to have to 3rd, "Don't Stop Believin," and add in "Cupid Shuffle" as well.

More than "Hey Jude"?

You guys, the piano riff on "Don't Stop Belivin'" effing rules. It's also the unofficial anthem of the 2005 White Sox Championship season.

Actually I’m changing my vote. I just remembered Rhinestone Cowboy exists

I'm not gonna lie, but I actually kind of love "Semi-Charmed Life" - particularly for how much play a song about crystal meth and oral sex got on mainstream radio for so long! That said, I absolutely understand why many people loathe it and don't begrudge that loathing in the least.

God those 90s alt radio hits were all a bag of shit. I still think Iris is the biggest turd in that bunch

I think I love all the 90s alt radio hits. Each and every one of them. I'm not much of a hater with music since I don't really hear any that I'm not purposely playing these days. Radio is all but dead to me. So I'll go with Robin Thickes' rape anthem... and most everything by Kanye cause I like my takes spicy.

Yes thankfully the death of 'rock' radio means you rarely have to come in contact with turds anywhere nearly as often as you did in the 80s or 90s

I have thus far managed to avoid ever hearing Robin Thickes' rape anthem so far as I know unless it's been playing in the background somewhere along the way and I've been blissfully unaware of it happening to be that particular number

Lovely Day blows, I could gladly never hear that ear worm piece of shit again.

Bill Withers??? @avecigrec starting the new hot takes thread here lol
