I would agree with this, but it is technically incorrect, as rap is not actually songs, or even music... and it is not actually "written"... the raps is spittted out as someone shouts over the sound of an existing song, destroying the original, making it no longer a song... as it just becomes noise... kind of like car crushing at the salvage yard.
But if the question was "what noise should never be created?"... your answer is perfect.

When I hear Radiohead I have to walk out of the room.
When I hear Bjeurk, I don't mind the music, but when she starts singing, I have to walk out of the room.

The Pina Colada Song
Precious and Few by Climax - sounds like a TV ad
I have a guilty pleasure/soft spot for Escape (the Pina Colada Song) with a Stones twist. I had just bought a MXR Phase 100 around that time, 'cause of Some Girls and the '78 tour, Shattered and and all that stuff. I was driving with a friend of mine and that song came on the radio and he said, "Have you heard this song? It's really stupid," etc. But the only thing I zeroed in on was the guitar with the phase on it, as I had just bought one. So it's been a guilty pleasure of mine ever since.

A travesty. The original by Jacques Brel is awesome, much darker.

My own most loathed song is that dirge by Gilbert O'Sullivan where he's going to top himself. Just hurry up and do it.

But Radiohead (I'm not a big fan, btw) have done so many music styles and so many different-sounding songs... It would be a bit like saying you don't like the Stones because of Cherry Oh Baby, wouldn't it?
Bjørk is Bjørk. I get that she's not for everyone I enjoy some of her stuff, though..

Yes, you're right they tried many music styles (as far as I know, thankfully they stayed away from the blues, unlike bloody U2), but I guess again it's mainly because of the singer. That whining, pretentious, pedantic thing he does.

All kidding aside...
'Centerfold' was released by The J. Geils Band in 1981 as a single off of the Freeze Frame album and went straight up to #1 in the USA. Stayed there for six weeks. Freeze Frame, the album, went to #1 as well.
It was a massive hit for the rock n' roll band written by keyboardist Seth Justman. (notice it was NOT written by Wolf/Justman)
The success of this song ultimately destroyed America's greatest LIVE band.
A proven song-writing team had been irreparably fractured and the band soon broke up, ending a decade of road domination.
I, personally, wish it had never been written.

I suppose this only shows that I have been old and out of it far longer than I am willing to admit, but way back in the early 80s when I first became aware of it, I honestly thought that rap was just a fad. Rap songs seemed like novelty tunes to me, and I assumed that a form with such limited creative potential would fade away in a few months or a year. Joke's on me, I guess.

Indeed. Years ago I made a copy of my "Synchronicity" CD and replaced Mother with Someone To Talk To, a b-side also written and sung by Andy...a good song that fit in nicely.
