Top 5 musicians who hate their own work

February 26, 2013

Cracked recently posted a funny article listing five of the most iconic songs that are hated by the artists who created them, and some of the people included are surprising. 

According to the article, the top 5 are:

5. Radiohead - "Creep"

4. Weezer - Pinkerton Album

3. The Who - "Pinball Wizard"

2. Warrant - "Cherry Pie"

1. Led Zeppelin - "Stairway to Heaven"

Thom Yorke, the lead singer of Radiohead, has stormed off the stage at concerts where "Creep" was requested. The lead singer of Warrant, Jafi Lane, wrote their hit "Cherry Pie" in 15 minutes on the back of a pizza box, after the record label wanted a clear hit single on the album.

Even though Jimmy Page called "Stairway to Heaven" "the essence of the band," lead singer of Zeppelin Robert Plant absolutely hated the song. According to the article, Plant despised the song so much he gave a donation to a radio station that refused to ever play it.  
 

Are there any other bands or artists you know that hate a song they created?

    Rep. Regina Quick pulls no punches on Chamber scorecard

    Rep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

    UPDATED: Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    The committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases.   Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
