What songs do you detest?

[AlgoAlex]

So full of HATE

1 Thing by Amerie

HEADACHE

Oh, get out, that's a great record. The way that drum sample seems to bend the whole track sideways is genius.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I don't necessarily enjoy drums for drums sake.

 

[octophone]

I was going to say 'me neither' but, actually, I do. Having more than one drummer in a band gets me interested immediately.

Move Your Feet by Junior Senior

Aww I like this one.

 

[K.C.]

Heaven is Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle I can't stand.

 

[funky]

Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name
Village People - YMCA
Madonna - Bitch I'm Madonna and Vulgar (Though they're SO EASY to avoid)
Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines
Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk, 24K
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
Justin Bieber - Baby, Sorry, he must have others I can't recall atm
a plethora of Nicki Minaj songs but mainly it's all down to hating her and her off-putting personality, no matter how many millions she sells, how many good reviews boasting about how TALANTED she is, I can't abide most of her songs namely the latest Barbie song, Super Freaky Girl, Your Love, Moment 4 Life
Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling, Boom Boom Pow, Dirty Beat, Where's The Love, Girl Like Me (With Shakira) fuck off
Robbie Williams - Rock DJ, Angels
Britney Spears - Don't let me be the last to know, Make Me ooh, Hold Me Closer
Kylie - All I See, Give me just a little more time, Word is out, Tears on my pillow
Calvin Harris- Feel So Close
David Guetta - Titanium
I'd rather shoot my eye if I have to listen to ANY OF THESE.

All of these apart from Bruno Mars (love him despite his obvious cringeness) and Kylie's GMJALMT

The rest really can do a Thelma And Louise

 

[funky]

I would agree, but Latch is a banger.

I've been able to maintain my love for that song by full recognising it as: Disclosure featuring Sam Smith

 

[funky]

Heaven is Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle I can't stand.

OK I ignored Like A Prayer but now you've gone too far.

 

[Tisch]

I really can't stand Here Comes the Sun DO DO DO DO and I've never really been able to work out why. The note sequence just gives me the JITTERS.

 

[funky]

Dance Monkey

oh GOD THIS.

One of the worst songs so far this CENTURY.

 

[funky]

I really can't stand Here Comes the Sun DO DO DO DO and I've never really been able to work out why.

Where's that Adeva Warning image.

There isn't a smilie available that can muster up enough disgust

 

[Shoat]

I'm not sure if anyone ever plays this anywhere ever in 2023

But I still have a mortal fear that someone will put the Mavericks' "Dance The Night Away" on

 

[funky]

Mojo's Lady and Toploader's Dancing In The Moonlight are also utterly horrendous to my ears.

If I ever hear either again, it will be too soon.

20 years on and yes Lady is so basic. But if you were there when it was happening, there are too many fond memories to ever hate it. Not that I really ever listen to it any more, it's had its time.

Toploader can fuck off though.

Similar vein to these is Lazy, and Music Sounds Better With You (but I actually kinda like that one when I'm in the mood).

 

[funky]

Music Sounds Better will never NOT be fabulous. But again I think you had to be there. It's a memory tune. It has a very SPECIFIC FEELING for me.

Lazy is alright.

I'm in a similar situation with Ed Sheeran and Lay It All On Me, which to be frank, is a RUDIMENTAL song

 

[LTZ]

‘You’re beautiful’ is the worst song ever

 

[funky]

‘You’re beautiful’ is the worst song ever

While we're on that train, I also hate Passenger's voice.

 

[Suomi]

I don’t really like to spend time thinking about things I don’t like so here are six quick ones I think are awful:

1. Bill Withers - Lovely Day
2. Petula Clark - Downtown
3. Sharleen Spiteri - Xanadu
4. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (this is a strange one because I guess I should love it but I just think it sounds deeply unpleasant and unmelodic; not a single part I like)
5. Christina Aguilera - Dirrty

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (this is a strange one because I guess I should love it but I just think it sounds deeply unpleasant and unmelodic; not a single part I like)

Our friendship is over.

OVER!

 

[K.C.]

Do people dislike Dancing in the Moonlight because of the song itself or because of Toploader 's cover of it? (Or both?)

I always found it pleasant enough.

The sheer scandal of this post. The Belinda Carlisle stans are going to be livid.

Where’s the sixth??

 

[Pipo]

There's a difference between songs you can detest and songs that no matter how many times I've tried and tried and I've given them all the time in the world, just won't CLICK with me hence why I don't avoid them but never actively look forward to listening to them.

A controversial example would be Destiny's Child Survivor and Jennifer Lopez' Jenny From The Block and Get Right while we're at it.

 

[Ellie]

David Gray - Babylon
Britney Spears - Toxic

I think if you lived in the UK during the time of its release you know why it holds a special kind of evil aura

6. Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Although that’s not the fault of the song per se, more that it’s one of the five songs people who don’t like music that much have adopted as their go-to soundtrack for any event.

 

[Tisch]

‘You’re beautiful’ is the worst song ever

Not REALLY the same train, but the song title made me think of it, Beneath Your Beautiful is such a pile of YUCK, and the way the YOUR is (I think) meant to be a disgusting play on words using BAD GRAMMAR sickens me quite frankly

 

[Tisch]

Oh god my brain's going down a early 10's "songs about plain women being beautiful" spiral now. Truly the Live Laugh Love genre of music.

John Legend's main song I can't even think of the title of right now, and One Direction's Little Things about the girl with the spotty back being some of the worst offenders.

 

[Pipo]

Music for people who don't like music lives RENT FREE in my mind ever since the DOTMUSIC days when there were a shitload of MOR songs clogging up the charts.

 

[Pipo]

John Legend's main song

All Of Me? and what about Mika's Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)

 

[Tisch]

All Of Me? and what about Mika's Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)

 

[LTZ]

I have never been able to listen to ‘Happy’ all the way through

 

[VV]

Madonna - Justify my love

Genuinely the most boring song she ever did.

 

[Sheena]

Is it me or is this morphing into “overplayed” and “don’t understand the fuss” rather than “genuinely detest”?

My choices I actively cannot listen to without getting angry or at the very least turning off/ leaving where I am.

 

[Ellie]

Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney

I genuinely have to walk out of shops during that time of year if it’s playing.

 

[VV]

One I truly detest is that Cardi B's 'W.A.P.'

People are up in arms about Sam Smith's attire in front of the kids, but I didn't hear too many complaints about a song about wet-arsed pussies!

 

[Jocasta Clun]

Oh I've got a VERY LONG LIST of these but one PARTICULARLY EGREGIOUS EXAMPLE I was reminded of while watching the POPS recently is 'LEAN ON ME' by RED BOX

What a USELESS load of SHOCKINGLY AWFUL OLD BOLLOCKS

 

[K.C.]

"Who let the dogs out" I also find unlistenable
