Top Ten Most Annoying Rock Songs

Top Ten Most Annoying Rock Songs: A countdown of the most ear-piercing, grating, and just plain bad rock songs that have ever been recorded.

“We Will Rock You” by Queen

In at number ten on our list of the top ten most annoying rock songs is “We Will Rock You” by Queen. Released in 1977, this song has become an anthem for sports fans everywhere. The problem is, it’s just so darn repetitive. We get it, you want to rock us. But do you have to do it over and over and over again?

“You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC

This song is just one long string of cliches, from the opening line (“She was a fast machine”) to theUtterly nonsensical chorus (“You shook me all night long”). It’s all about a one-night stand with a girl who’s “got the backseat blues,” and it’s delivered in such a sleazy, leering tone that it makes you want to take a shower afterwards. Projectile vomit might be a more accurate title for this song.

“Rock You Like a Hurricane” by the Scorpions

Few songs epitomize both the excesses of 1980s hair metal and the continued appeal of the Scorpions quite like “Rock You Like a Hurricane.” The 1984 hit single was co-written by Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker, and Herman Rarebell, and released on the group’s ninth studio album, Love at First Sting. The song starts with a catchy, drum-driven intro courtesy of Rarebell, followed by a wall of distorted guitar from Schenker and Matthias Jabs. Meine’s signature raspy vocals come in next, belting out the now-iconic chorus: “Rock you like a hurricane /Rock you like a hurricane.”

“Rock You Like a Hurricane” was an instant success, reaching the top ten in several countries. In the US, it peaked at number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has since become a staple of classic rock radio, and has been used in many movies and TV shows over the years. It remains one of the Scorpions’ most popular songs, and is considered one of the greatest hair metal songs of all time.

“Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses

“Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses is one of the most annoying rock songs of all time. The repetitive intro, the dissonant guitar riffs, and the screeching vocals all combine to create a sonic assault that is simply too much to bear.

“Paradise City” by Guns N’ Roses

“Paradise City” by Guns N’ Roses is one of the most annoying rock songs of all time. It’s overplayed, it’s crass, and it just doesn’t hold up well over time.

“Living on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi

“Living on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi is one of the most annoying rock songs of all time. The lyrics are banal and the melody is grating. It’s the perfect example of 80s hair metal at its worst.

“Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey

“Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey is one of the most annoying rock songs of all time. It’s overplayed, it’s sappy, and it’s just plain grating. Even if you’re a fan of Journey, there’s no denying that this song is downright irritating.

“Any Way You Want It” by Journey

This classic rock staple is one of the most annoying songs of all time. It’s overplayed, it’s cheesy, and it’s just plain grating. There’s nothing redeeming about this song, and it’s guaranteed to get on your nerves after just a few seconds.

“I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” by Joan Jett

“I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” is a song written in 1975 by Alan Merrill of the Arrows, who recorded it as the lead track on their album Coat of Arms. It was first made popular by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts in 1982, when her cover reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song is an ode to rock music, specifically citing Slade’s “Cum On Feel the Noize”, the Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar”, AC/DC’s “T.N.T.”, and Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” as some of Jett’s favorite songs. In addition to Jett’s 1982 hit, the song has been covered by a number of other artists, including Britney Spears, whose 2001 version peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
