While I love rock ‘n’ roll music, there are certain songs that bug the daylights out of me. For whatever reason, they just grate on my nerves. It could be the singer’s voice, the lyrics, the number of times it’s been played, the melody, the beat, or a combination of all of the above. Some of the songs listed come from bands/artists who I am (or was) a big fan of, but this particular song just doesn’t jive with me. Others are from bands/artists whom I was never a fan and never will be…Kid Rock for example.

There’s 2 on your list I haven’t had a problem with: “Don’t Fear the Reaper” and “In-a-Godda-da-Vida”.
On the other hand, I’ve always cringed at “Silly Love Songs”. Paul McCartney did a lot of mushy crap after the Beatles. This is one.
Well – that’s the difference in individual tastes. Discuss – but not worth fighting over.

Paul M. & Wings first two albums (Ram and Band on the Run) were great as was the Bond theme “Live and Let Die,” but after that his songs became to commercial or pop-oriented.
