Marvin Posted July 30 With working from home since March (and hospitalisation) I have been listening to Radio 6. However at least 3 or 4 times in my working day I've noticed they insist on playing Televised Mind by Fontaine DC. I've heard it that often, I now switch off when it is played. Hate it even, it's not even that good a song. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salad Fingers Posted July 30 I quite like Fontaines DC. Anyway. I have two that really get me quite angry when they come on the radio. First one is Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars. The most over-produced beige shite ever released. Second one is Blurred Lines by old man Robin Thicke. Utter, utter shite. I mean look at the lyrics. Good girl I know you want it I know you want it I know you want it You're a good girl Can't let it get past me You're far from plastic Talk about getting blasted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hmfc_liam06 Posted July 30 That ****ing Reef song! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iantjambo Posted July 30 Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby. When the song first came out, a woman in the local pub would put it on the juke box constantly. I think you got 5 songs for a pound and there were times where she would put it on 2 or 3 times. Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger Brutal song that simply gives me the rage as soon as I hear it.

Stuart Lyon Posted July 30 Year of the cat by Al Stewart. Played repeatedly at our holiday hotel in Santa Ponsa! Must have heard it about 50 times over the fortnight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great song but I think any song in the world would become hateable if played so frequently. I didn't like Calvin Harris song Feels and then I saw the video so I now hate it.

Lord BJ Posted July 30 I could do a lot on this. Any ABBA song would fall into it, especially Dancing Queen, However, the one that really gets me is “i will survive’,. Objectively its not a bad song, however, in my experience any time its played drunken women seem to think it’s their own personal anthem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonic for the Troops is a great album which I re-listened to a few weeks ago. And he managed a couple of good songs solo (Room 19 and The Great Song of Indifference come to mind.) As a personality, though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geddyalexneil Posted July 30 I do remember we used to sing a version of "Seasons in the sun" at one time. Something along the lines of "we had joy we had fun fun, we had hibees on the run, the fun didn't last cause the bast##ds ran too fast". Not a song I liked much but I did sing our version whenever it kicked in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salad Fingers Posted July 30 This could easily go in the annoying adverts thread but that song from the TSB advert, I have just found the guys name is Aron Wright. Mumbling, boring shite. His voice disappears at the end of each line so you can barely here what he is singing, as if he is too overcome with emotion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smithee Posted July 30 Beyonce Put a ring on it. A song with no music, shite. I got asked if I could play it recently. Yes, I can sit and do nothing, took me ages to learn. (Also, was at a wedding on Saturday and when people found out I've been with the Mrs 14 years without getting married they started giving me that shit. ****. Off.)

There're so many I could be posting all day, but some particular low-lights for me are: Bohemian Rhapsody: overblown, overbearing, over-produced, aural-indigestion-inducing, unlistenable, shite. The only good thing about it is that a reaction against it helped bring punk about. MacArthur Park: Richard Harris should've stuck to being a great actor. Deeply annoying song, with deeply irritating lyrics. Hated it from the very first time I heard it. I don't know what Jimmy Webb was on at the time, or what was going through his head, as he was / is otherwise a fantastic songwriter. Send In The Clowns: Deeply annoying song, with deeply irritating lyrics. ("Send in the clowns...don't bother they're here...")

ABBA ...usual standards Van Morrison...Brown eyed girl I have played all the above more times than I care to remember. Some of them are not bad songs but I just got really, really!! sick of them, night after night....😫😫 .There are many more but I just get the fear thinking about it.. 😁😁 Edited July 30 by micole Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cannot abide them. Never could. It doesn't help that people down here assume that, being Scottish, "500 miles" must be my favourite song. Then they say... but what about the harmonies? Screw that... if I want harmonies, I'll listen to the Evs. As far as I'm concerned, there's only one pair of Reid siblings worth bothering about.
