Apparently you DO have something against The Stranglers. Are the time signature changes too complicated?  It won’t win (nor should it) but surely there are 10 other songs that are ‘worse’. Musically it’s better than almost every rival listed.  Maybe you or your family had a bad thing happen with heroine and the song triggers you?

Btw, The Stranglers are awesome.

I'm not voting against The Stranglers. I have nothing against The Stranglers, just the song, in much the same way I have nothing against Neil Diamond, just one particular song. See also Tony Christie. Queen, Wizzard and, as the ads say, many more!

 

P.S. Any particular heroine? Grace Darling? Joan of Arc?

Perhaps he's just tired of it, as it's overplayed.  The Stranglers have tons of terrific songs, but all we ever seem to hear is Golden Brown.

Once when I went to see them JJ gave the audience a choice between Golden Brown and La Folie.  La Folie won by a landslide.  Great song, a rarity, and I didn't need to hear GB again.

Perhaps he's just tired of it, as it's overplayed.  The Stranglers have tons of terrific songs, but all we ever seem to hear is Golden Brown.

Once when I went to see them JJ gave the audience a choice between Golden Brown and La Folie.  La Folie won by a landslide.  Great song, a rarity, and I didn't need to hear GB again.

That's it in a nutshell. There are numerous other Stranglers tracks I'd choose to listen to before that one.
