Topic: Songs you can't stand Posted: June 17 2016 at 06:25
This topic is a little provocative...
There are songs you don't like but that you can bear hearing.
But which are the songs you cannot stand listening to? These songs that were broadcasted too many times or immediately gives you the urge to push the "next" button / change the radio station?
Please cite precise songs names and not just a band or a genre.
The idea of this thread is songs that you can't stand, not the "I don't like disco or hip-hop" or "I don't like David Guetta" sort of things.
For me:
The Fugees (or whoever sings this... thing ) - Killing Me Softly with His Song
Me & My - Dubidub Hathaway - What is love? DJ Sash - Equador Aqua - Barbie Girl Boney M - Brown Girl In the Ring DJ Alligator - The Whistle Song ABBA - pick a song, any really Snoop & Pharrell - Drop it like it's hot Scissor Sisters - Comfortably Numb Snow - Informer Eminem - My name is Whitney Houston - I will always love you Mariah Carey - pick a song, any really Celine Dion - ditto (the Titanic tune though deserves a special place in hell) Black Eyed Peas - My Hump Scatman John - I'm the Scatman Nickelback - Here without you baby (and everything else from them) ? - Who let the dogs out
Many more where they came from.

Gosh, where to begin ?? Black-Eyed Peas - that dumbass Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night song... Beatles - Let It Be Any f**king Maroon 5 song (probably my most HATED group out there) Any Jamiroquai song James Blunt, Passenger, Train............. I'm subjected to this pus every day at work and it boils my piss.
This thread could run and run. Is the idea to keep it to prog and prog tinged music?
if not I'll nominate just about everything to do with Garage or Hip Hop or Rap or whatever that childish non music is called
Oh and anything by Oasis and Coldplay
Well the op was posted in general music discussions, so feel free to bring the vile - prog or not Btw agree on Oasis and Coldplay, but there is a lot of interesting hip hop out there for my tastes (not the kind you'll hear on the radio though).

I forgot Nickelback. What a waste of space. Just a pack of oxygen thieves.......
I used to date this girl who was absolutely smitten by them. She loved all and everything from the band, and I of course had no other choice than to bear with her, admittedly, psychopathic ways. I really tried liking them - most of all because it would improve the time I spent with her tenfolds, yet no dice. The more I listened the more apparent it became that Nickelback were making the same song over and over again. I have yet to hear a song from them that sounds different from ANY of their other tunes. Maybe it's the singers voice that does it? Every time I hear it my brain instantly tries fleeing out of my ear.

There are many, many songs I dislike but my husband and I once spent a long car journey whittling the "worst songs in the universe" list down to the Eagle's Life in the Fast Lane and Steve Miller's The Joker. Both of which made us want to rip our ears off rather than ever hear them again.
I could also make a good argument for When I'm 64. What a waste of time and talent.

KRDL, Kurdle 109. We spoil music for everyone The less I hear radio (or watch TV) the more sane I am, although sometimes, even without that, it's impossible not to get sick of whatever Pop hit is currently trendy It's more positive to make lists of music I love, so I won't even start this one. I can't believe Tom forgot Kings of Leon though

I'm sure you haven't listened to some Coldplay you like, if you like Radiohead, you'll appreciate some Coldplay - if you're able to give them a chance:
The first and last song of The Blue Room EP (Bigger Stronger and Such A Rush (from 14:32)) have a very deep mood which runs through the whole album.

Love your James Blunt comment. If I never hear Justin Bieber again anywhere I will be very happy. Miley Cyrus curls my teeth the wrong way. Europe's The Final Countdown puts the finger firmly at the back of my throat.
