The concept here is simple. I'm posting a song that has received large amounts of hate from critics and the posters of this board. I want you guys to explain what exactly has caused the song to be so hated.
In this case, it's Kid Rock's 2008 smash hit "All Summer Long." Everyone seems to have something against it, but why?

He's not 50! ;D He was only like 36 when he wrote the song, and it was about when he was a young man.

I don't mind the song myself, but I can understand why some people hate it. Another possible reason is the desecration of not one, but two classic rock songs that some people might not take kindly too.

1) It's a stupid song that rips off other stupid songs. 2) It's Kid Rock.
The end.

What is wrong with Kid Rock? He's done a better job of fusing rock, rap and country than just about anyone.
I don't understand the disdain so many pop fans have for this song's lyrics. Nobody complained about "I throw my hands up in the air sometimes singing A-O," but then they complain about this? Kid Rock admitted that he kind of just threw these lyrics together, but I don't see anything bad about them.

Ooh what a wonderful topic.
Reasons I despise this song with my entire heart:
#1) This was a big hit on Country radio. Songs that I don't like that become big on country radio turn into songs I despise. #2) This song is extremely annoying. #3) Terrible lyrics. #4) Kid Rock can't sing. At all. Its atrocious. #5) Kid Rock is a disgusting human being. #6) Kid Rock is from Michigan. So is DJ.

LOL! To this day, I'm confused as to why the song did so well on country radio. It's not country at all. What makes Kid Rock more disgusting than other rock stars though?

It's the cheesiest and most gimmicky song this side of "Mambo No. 5". And having two samples in it doesn't help its cause.

a 50 yo talking about having sex with a 17yo is just wrong Wasn't it about when they both were 17? About "the hate" though - it samples two classic rock songs, and no offense to posters on these music boards but they tend to hate classic rock (or stuff that sounds "hetero male") Country-edged rock constantly gets slammed at Pulse also

Country-edged rock constantly gets slammed at Pulse also "Born Free" was miles better than this song though, and far more successful at replicating classic rock. Of course, it flopped.

Two things: #1 - I like classic rock. Not the songs that were sampled in ASL, but for the most part I like classic rock. #2 - I don't like "Born Free" but it definitely beats this crap.
