You can hate a few of their songs - Norweigian Wood, for example - but you cannot hate them all. Unless you just hate music. Do you hate music?

Okay Larry, I know it's not exactly what you're asking for but how about young children singing "Ring around the Rosie, pocket full of posies, Ashes Ashes we all fall down!"

Most of Springsteen's Born in the USA album is depressing words set to dance music. I'm On Fire is just creepy.
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
Ohh I'm on fire...
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
Ohh I'm on fire...

It's pretty simple. I hate the Beatles.
Well you can't.

Unpossible.
How about Billy Joel's She's Always a Woman? It sounds like a love song, perhaps something you might choose as a wedding dance, yet the words are very bitter.

This tread, unlike comments about EMS, has gone just as I had hoped.
We live in a world where much of pop music has long had some rather bleak and even sinister content, lyrically, yet is not worrisome, for some reason, if the music is gentle yet, let Ozzy blare out 'Suicide Solution' or AC/DC does "Night Prowler" or Priest has some sort of heavy lyrical content and, it seems to me, the music, rock music, distorted guitars and thundering drums, all of a sudden makes the lyrics a big deal.
Always fascinated me.

KISS - Detroit Rock City
It's about a KISS fan dying in a car accident on the way to one of their shows.

But you yourself admitted that you don't listen to the words as much as the music. Clearly other people do the same.
I, on the other hand, am a lyrics person and can always understand what the song is saying regardless of the music its set to.
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight, gonna grab some afternoon delight - a song about a couple going on a picnic and fishing.
Relax, don't do it - an anti-stress song, like Don't Worry Be Happy.
And that song about a musical family, a la the Partridges - Mama's got a squeezebox she wears on her chest and when Daddy comes home he never gets no rest.

Anyone who didn't know Rob is gay didn't want to know.
