I Hate My Hit! 10 Songs Disowned By the People That Made Them Famous
"Nobody made you go around wearing UFO pants and sucking a pacifier after you got smart enough to drop those duds. But despite the pop star high life, musicians don't have the luxury to abandon ship. Fans don't care if a star is misunderstood, or past that particular phase. The audience pays, so the musician plays. Here's how some handled it."
1. Beastie Boys- Fight for Your Right to Party (I actually still love this song but I can see how the band has grown up and it would seem immature and weird to keep doing it at shows.)
2. R.E.M.-Shiny Happy People (I don't blame R.E.M. this song sucks eggs)
3. Radiohead-Creep
4. Booby McFerrin- Don't Worry Be Happy
5. Robert Plant-Stairway to Heaven
6. Nirvana- Smells Like Teen Spirit
7. Sinead O'Connor- Nothing Compares 2 U (the story behind this one pissed me off. This song written by Prince made her an instant success and she spits on him and calls him an F'n midget? GRRRR)
8. France Gall- 'Les Sucettes'
9. Madonna- Like a Virgin (I can see how a 50+ year old woman wouldn't want to sing this one anymore.)
10. Tom Petty- Don't Do Me Like That
