What songs do you detest?

[VV]

I think Rock DJ by Robbie Williams is probably the worst #1 song of all-,time - pre 2020 anyway.

 

[jyxz]

‘How bizarre’

 

[K.C.]

‘How bizarre’

I can't tell you how triggering this song is for me. At the time, it was like one of TWO New Zealand songs in history to go big in America so everyone just beat it to death...and the rest of us with it.

 

[K.C.]

Which also reminds me... "Somebody that I used to Know". Complete drivel.

 

[funky]

"Who let the dogs out" I also find unlistenable

Personally that one isn't even worth a mention just purely because it's a gimmick song. I hate almost ALL gimmick songs so they go without saying for me. But yes, definitely detestable.

 

[VV]

Swagger Jagger by Cher Lloyd

Oh, and Moves like Jagger by Maroon 5.

 

[Pipo]

I Was going to mention a couple by Shakira, but then I read Sheena's post and I agree. It's the fact that Hips don't Lie and Waka Waka are awfully OVERPLAYED to the point that they're unlistenable to me, though I don't genuinely DETEST them.

 

[Inner Smile]

It has to be Take A Bow by Rihanna. I love most her stuff, I even saw her live! But this song makes me sick

 

[Inner Smile]

OH and in regards to Sam Smith, he's not normally my cuppa tea but I love Latch and Like I Can

 

[Rachey]

Anything by Madness

And Let's Get it Started by Black Eyed Peas.

Who Let The Dogs Out.

I'm sure there's a lot more but I can't think of anything.

 

[VV]

It has to be Take A Bow by Rihanna. I love most her stuff, I even saw her live! But this song makes me sick

I think most of her ballads suck, to be honest.

I'm the opposite with Beyonce though - I prefer her ballads!

OH and in regards to Sam Smith, he's not normally my cuppa tea but I love Latch and Like I Can

THEY

 

[octophone]

Y'all are lucky I don't have admin/mod powers any more - this anti-Madness chat would lead to a few bannings.

 

[Pipo]

out of all the bands the world have EVER known, it's so random to me to detest a song by MADNESS, of all people

 

[Rachey]

I don't know what it is about Madness that I dislike, but if a song of theirs gets played I instantly get angry.

 

[GNL]

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.

Girls Aloud releasing THIS as their parting shot. VILE.

 

[Cloud]

Stuff that gets played and sang to DEATH in pubs, whether it's a karaoke kind of scenario or a live singer

So Summer of 69, Sweet Home Alabama etc

Most Christmas songs for similar reasons

Does no one else get bored of hearing the same thing over and over?

 

[Ellie]

Watching Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix and just reminded how much I despise Magic by Pilot.

 

[Kratz]

Don’t Stop Believing

It’s just awful

 

[Joseph]

Life Is A Highway

 

[Rita]

S Club 7 Don’t Stop Moving and Reach

 

[SvalaWuzRobbed]

Reef - Place Your Hands

 

[SvalaWuzRobbed]

Lukas Graham - 7 Years
Meghan Trainer everything

 

[Rita]

Proclaimers - 500 miles

This one was hard going having lived in Scotland for over 20 years.

 

[Suedehead]

Mr Brightside

 

[funky]

Proclaimers - 500 miles

This one was hard going having lived in Scotland for over 20 years.

Possibly my least favourite song in the history of the UK charts.

 

[Suedehead]

Lady in Red

 

[Sardonicus]

4 Non Blondes - "What's Up"

 

[Shirley]

Reef - Place Your Hands

Yes yes yes. I went through a phase of putting Radio 2 on in the early evening but I had to stop because Jo Bloody Whiley would inevitably play this and say how GREAT it is

It REALLY ISN'T

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Proclaimers - 500 miles

This one was hard going having lived in Scotland for over 20 years.

If I never heard Runrig - Loch Lomond again I'd be ecstatic

 

[Sardonicus]

Yes yes yes. I went through a phase of putting Radio 2 on in the early evening but I had to stop because Jo Bloody Whiley would inevitably play this and say how GREAT it is

It REALLY ISN'T

I found his singing voice very grating, I always thought he sounded like a HACKSAW

 

[Shoat]

Maroon 5 "She Will Be Loved"

Mostly down to Adam Levine's YELPY singing style

 

[Dark Carnival]

Usher - Yeah!

 

[Sardonicus]

4 Non Blondes - "What's Up"

On the subject of Linda Perry, also "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera.

She really has a knack for writing songs with melodies I find DEEPLY UNPLEASANT.

 

[Devil]

4 Non Blondes - "What's Up"

The vocal is NAILS to me. Bloody abhorrent.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

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

You're going to the Hague!

 

[Santaliger007]

Anything adel or pink amy white wine house shore more do


Dawgs are cool

 

[K.C.]

You're going to the Hague!

Finally!

 

[K.C.]

Wait. Do we have any Netherlands queens here?
