i love 80s music in general and like a wide variety of genres from that era, but there were some songs that were extremely popular, that i never liked, and still don't. just to name a few....
frankie goes to hollywood - relax this song never did anything for me and 'til this day i hardly know any of the words, and oh my god it seems to go on and on..
power station - some like it hot everytime i hear this song, i always picture rusty griswold on his european tour surrounded by punk rocker dancers.
simple minds - don't you (forget about me) BIG HIT, from a big movie, very played-out and i hear it way too often.
most bangels songs, and go-gos songs i don't care for either, except 'vacation' and both groups had a string of hits.
what about you guys?

"Physical" Olivia Newton-John comes to mind.
"Celebration" Kool & The Gang
"Mr Roboto" Styx
Ronnie & Sam I totally agree on "Relax" & "Sussudio". I like Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight" though.

"Relax"
Oh oh Wee-ell-Now!
Relax don't do it When you want to go to it Relax don't do it When you want to come Relax don't do it When you want to come When you want to come
Relax don't do it When you want to to go to it Relax don't do it When you want to come Relax don't do it When you want to suck to it Relax don't do it When you want to come Come-oh oh oh
But shoot it in the right direction Make making it your intention-ooh yeah Live those dreams Scheme those schemes Got to hit me Hit me Hit me with those laser beams
I'm coming I'm coming-yeah
Relax don't do it When you want to go to it Relax don't do it When you want to come
Relax don't do it When you want to suck to it Relax don't do it (love) When you want to come When you want to come When you want to come Come-huh

"Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes. It's not that bad a song, but back in 1981, the radio stations constantly played it every 30 minutes or so. It drove me crazy!
I agree with ValleyCat on Kool & The Gang's "Celebration".
"We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off" by Jermaine Stewart. YECCCHHH!!
"Bruce" by Rick Springfield. Springsteen should sue that bozo!
I'm sure there's a lot more though!

Oh this is a good topic. I couldn't stand Kyria (sp) and that one song by Mike and the Mechanics--In the Living Years. They just drove me crazy. I also wasn't a fan of Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. Maybe it was the video that made me kind of sick.

I absolutely can't stand Tainted Love. I can't even remember whether I used to like it in the 80s - it's just totally overplayed on the radio here.
One song I used to love in high school was Come on Eileen, but I hate it now - same reason as above.
I agree with you Ronnie about Some like it Hot, makes me sick.
Another one I absolutely hate is the song White Horse by Laid Back (I think). Urgh.

id have to agree with all of the above really with a couple of exceptions. I really couldnt stand that song by fairground attraction in 88 i think it was. And i simply bleed from my ears when i hear anything at all by peter gabrial, enya, madness, ub40, simply red, the bangles, cher, springst, and yeah im gonna say it, spandau b - hated his voice.
