Lone Striker Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 My vote goes to Cher and that truly awful, teeth-grinding, ear-aching, vomit-inducing Do You Believe. A wierdo and his wierdo teenage sons lived in the flat below me 20 years ago and they regularly played that abomination on repeat (high volume). I don't remember hating a song as much prior to being subjected to that awful auto-tune voice vibrating up through the floor and walls. 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 When I was growing up I hated Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen including the video. Dire Straights Money for Nothing sounded like how you would feel if you bought the record. Not really a song but Fatboy Slim's Right Here Right Now really annoys me when it is played at the start of anything sports related or anywhere for that matter. Tell me what I want by The Spice Girls and all those Stock, Aitken and Waterman hits with exactly the same drum beat, yuk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRummy Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Everybody Hurts by REM is just so depressing. Anything by that Captain or major in the army guy, who was popular a few years ago.

Dawnrazor Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I heard some lassie on the radio this morning singing "I Would Walk 500 Miles" just sang it slowly with an acoustic guitar, the most lazy and cringing and embarrassing thing I think I've ever heard.

It's just very odd how the media go wild over folk like Dido, Blunt and now Sheeran, Capaldi, Tom Walker, George Ezra etc - despite them churning out utter playground-level drivel. I have a friend who reckons musicians like those are actually deliberately taking the p1ss to see how much money they can make before some influential person shouts "Enough ... this is b*ll*cks).

Unfortunately there are too many unimaginative music buyers out there to stop these type of acts springing up all over the place. It is certain though the charity shops will be full of their albums in no time at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all the hype I finally got round to watching it and it was a massive disappointment. The sort of film that is passable on a boring Sunday afternoon.

He did a very touching tribute to Keith Flint after he died. Too many songs to list that I can’t stand but anything by Coldplay, The Kooks and all that bland 00’s landfill indie shite is so beige it hurts my ears. The Proclaimers, Runrig, Biffy Clyro, The View and any old shite that people only seem to like because they’re Scottish are another load of pish. On the plus side, there’s tons of great music out there so I can inoculate myself from all of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Unchained Melody. A little bit of me dies whenever I hear the opening bars of it. Awful, never ending dirge. Novelty songs are meant to be shite or annoying and don't bother me but songs that are meant to be serious but are shite is another matter. I'd suggest "The War Song" by Culture Club as the worst. Came out in 1984 on the back of "Two Tribes" and other such anti war pop songs that year. I remember being stunned into silence as Boy George prance around on TOTP's singing: "War, war is stupid, And people are stupid...". The hits dried up after that monstrosity.
