[B Maverick]

Jani Lane absolutely refused to play "Cherry Pie" before he died.  He did this interview talking about how that song was the moment he sold his soul.  Take the minute to watch this, it's Kind of funny.

This is what came to mind when I saw this thread.

Musical Youth eschews “Pass The Dutchie”.

Sheryl Crow hated All I Wanna Do by the end of her first tour.

What a crap song.   In fact, her hits suck except "Leaving Las Vegas" and "Steve McQueen". 

 

[Big Blue Wrecking Crew]

I heard Cheap Trick hates playing "Voices"

Think it is "The Flame", but maybe it's both. Nielsen wrote "Voices"  but "The Flame" was from outside writers.

From Wiki: "Reportedly, the band disliked the song at first. Rick Nielsen disliked the song so much on first hearing that he yanked it from the tape player and ground the cassette beneath his boot heel."

This would be incorrect.

That's some serious hate right there.

That's some serious hate right there.

Especially since most of the copies were on CDs by then.

I seem to remember hearing a story that Simple Minds hated "Don't you Forget About Me."  I think they may not have written the song and someone wrote it for them to record for the Breakfast Club soundtrack.
