Put me down as an Elvis hater, wife as well.

I'll amend that then, Strump, me, Peter and wife - 4 individuals with taste - oh joy!!! Jacqui

You're all going to be in big trouble! Debby

*waves hand* I can't stand Elvis either, never could see why he was rated so highly. Especially in the later years. Gwynne

OOHHH ME ME ME! I don't like Elvis either!!!

Neither do I! LOL Debby

anything by Robbie Williams-warrington oik with his faux american singing voice and repulsive grin.Angels in particular-the sort of song enjoyed by women who organise Ann Summers evenings .

who's Ann Summers? is she one of Robbie's cast-off's?? Bec and Gwynne (and possibly Debbie) welcome to the World of Taste - any more anti-Elvis-ites out there? Jacqui

You youngsters have no idea of the contribution Elvis made to modern music. I am not an Elvis lover, can take him or leave him, but believe me until he hit the scene there was Bing, Perry and, of course, the real king, Old Blue Eyes. Without Elvis, and his PR machine, paving the way there would be no Beatles, etc. etc. Hard to believe but in his day he was scandalous and he opened the way for pop music as it is today. Jean x.

Well at the risk of being the most unpopular GR member I will stick my neck out for the first time ever and say IMAGINE I can't stand it! Sorry. Daisy (ducking to avoid the missiles!)

*arms missile*

Ooh, come on, you're all missing the bleedin' obvious 'Com'n Eileen' by Dexys midnight runners. (Can't abide Elvis either)

That one that lad did - I think it might have been a group actually 'The Streets' - Dry your eyes mate. I can't stand it - the lyrics are ok ish, but his voice just drones! Also anything by Slip Knot - utter garbage. Kaye x

Well Joy I'll regret it as well then as I dislike Elvis Presley and nearly everything he did. Much of his stuff was cover versions better done by the orginal Artists. Gloria I liked Manfred Mann's 5,4,3,2,1 the harmonica playing and the vibrancy of the track :-))) 10cc I'm not in love is a song that i never liked amongst a great many others. Think most Pop songs are over-rated, always thought it was funny when these naff songs sold enough to stay at number one for ages no one seems to admit they bought them LOL. Can't all like the same things Pat x

Lovely day by Bill Withers drives me nuts, I have to switch off when he starts that repeating bit. They play it loads on Radio 2. But I love Elvis's voice in his later stuff, The Wonder of You is wonderful.

I'm with Guinevere, leave Bohemian Rhapsody alone! After all... He's just a poor boy from a poor family. Ok so he might of killed a man by Shooting him in the head and then made his mum cry but he didn't mean it (well making his mum cry at least). He then Went on the run. But he doesn't want his mum to worry if he's not back again by the next day. I think they catch up with him though as he want's them to let him Go but they will not let him go. I don't think his love will visit him in clink as they seem to want to Love him and leave him to die there but he's just got to get out, just got to get right out.. Quite straight forward really....Hmmm. I vote for 'Eileen', that used to be played so much and it still gets played occasionally. Sue

Oh what the heck! I cant STAND Paul Mc Cartney or Wings.......sounds like plastic being scratched, not songs.

Sorry to disapoint everyone but im an Elvis fan, everyone to their own as I say. I cant stand the Beatles! and Im a scouser, there was only one decent Beatles record and that was 'Long and winding road' The other ones I cannot in my life abide is every christmas song that was ever written, they are repeated and repeated the same old songs every year, espeically that Slade one ooooh its drives me mad. There are loads of songs I hate but couldnt put them all on here. Roll on 1st January 2006. Regards Yvonne Yvonne

like ruby , i work where im forced to listen to capital gold, as one member of the shop staff thinks its great, and all they play every other song is elvis, he was a good singer, and good looking when younger, but p leeeeeeeeeeez wish theyd stop the god worship , he wasnt one, thought the radio was broken for a while but the women in work discovered today it isnt and retuned it from normal radio station, saying 'i found it look its capital gold,' she didnt like it when several of us kept turnin it down as she has volume up and customers are usually elderly , she doesnt understand, shes not the only person in this world opps sorry

put me down against Elvis too lol! My sister is a huge fan - 8 years older than me, so she had a record player (David, that's how we played music before CD's) before me and used to play all his stuff. yaaaaawn!! I love Come On Eileen - sooooo my era! Imagine is in my top 10 faves - will be having stern words with you Daisy lol!! I hate that Celine Dion one from Titanic, Cotton Eye Joe (aaarrrggghhh), Wings, Make me whole again by Atomic Kitten - done to death! Maz. XX
