Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

^ LOL. Overplayed for sure. Can't say i hate it. It's fun once in a while. BTO is overrated IMHO but i still have a greatest hits. I could totally see hating this if you've been overexposed to classic rock radio.

Takin' Care of Business -- Bachman Turner Overdrive.

Everything in that song occurs on the downbeat of every quarter note - with no variation! Every time it comes on the radio, I'm tempted to stand up and start stomping my feet, in place, like some sort of deranged goose-stepping zombie robot (perhaps powered by a BT Overdrive?)

Hated everything about that song. The syrupy lyrics, the emasculated voice, the stupid video clip. Hideous tune.

Ugh. You're so right! It reminds me of the crap they play at movie theaters before the movie. Major crap. Adding it! Thanks for this turkey bomb :P

There is tons of crappy pop music on the radio, and if you are forced to listen to such a station every day and the only musical instruments you hear are some piano and guitar which might have been just computer generated... it is terrible... I am glad I don't work at that place anymore. 

Yeah, i can't stand horrible radio either and it's pretty bad these days. Modern country stations are particularly awful but canned modern pop has reach new lows. I'm sensitive like  you. Sometimes bad songs are fun but often they are insipid soul destroyers!

You bet. That's probably the absolute worst song of all time. Top 2 with "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast" by Wayne Newton!!!!!


I could put those in the so bad they're good category.

One I might consider, but I wouldn't really get behind, adding is Samwel's "What What (In the Butt)" which was parodied by South Park (it's more of a novelty song that got some internet traction and I wouldn't expect to hear it on the radio).

OMG! This nauseates me too!

Michael Jackson is 96% of the reason the song isbany interesting att all cause it has a killer chorus.

I don't mind that song. I like the synth funk synthesizer. It also is a cool testimony of our surveillance state. I find it meh but don't  hate it myself :)

I'm sure I'd hate Kygo, Drake, The Weeknd or whatever but fortunately I don't know... but here's some annoying songs I do remember:

Color Me Badd - I Wanna Sex You Up
Offspring - Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)
Inner Circle - Sweat (la la la la long)
Smash Mouth - All Star
Chumbawamba - Tubthumper
R. Kelly -  I Believe I Can Fly
Vengaboys - We're Going to Ibiza
4 Non Blondes - What's Up


I don't mind the Chumbawumba tune.
THe Offspring song is much better as Weird Al Yankovic's "Pretty Fly For a Rabbi." 

The rest i either vaguely remember and have deleted from my memory or haven't heard. I'll check them out!

Actually i don't mind Smash Mouth either however that's not their best song for sure.

Yeah, awful song. 

How about Thunder by Imagine Dragons? Dead

I had a similar experience. The department piped in one of the local Top 40/adult contemporary-type radio stations so all day long I got to listen to that crap. If I ever hear Walking In Memphis again, I'll probably throw up. LOL 

The only saving grace was Christmas time when they played only Christmas music, which I like.

I'll add the TRAIN song to my list. That is nauseating!

Anything by Train is nauseating.

Baby Got Back is a fun song back when rap had a sense of humor before gangsta took over.

That repetitive something at 0:34... gosh...

I had this one in my head, especially the part at 1:07... It was utterly terrible. 

There is tons of crappy pop music on the radio, and if you are forced to listen to such a station every day and the only musical instruments you hear are some piano and guitar which might have been just computer generated... it is terrible... I am glad I don't work at that place anymore.
