Midnight at The Oasis by The Brand New Heavies. Bland.
Anything by M People. Uber Bland.
Man! I Feel Like A Woman by Shania Twain. I Work in a club and anytime we have a do with older women as the guests this has them racing to the dance floor. A lot of flesh gets released. Grin

Oh and anything that Shaggy has even touched.

B52s Rock Lobster, so irritating
Most songs by James Blunt, I hate his voice (seems like a nice guy tho)
Anything with high, squealy male vocals, or breathy female vocals
Some Oasis songs, the ones that go one forever

Gstaaddad · 10/02/2019 21:20

Anything by or sung by Phil Collins...

PassTheGinPlease · 10/02/2019 21:27

Anything by B*Witched, Daphne and Celeste, or shite like One Direction.
Can't abide Ronan Keating a voice either.

Morvaanreed - it was bad enough when it was my mum looking back at me - now it's my gran! First time that happened I was like wtf? Then I worked out I am now the age my gran would've been when I was at an age to remember things. So so weird!

"I like something from most genres, more in some than others. If it sounds good, or has a meaning, or does something different musically I usually appreciate it and mostly like it.
All my family are the same

Music starts at 8.30 am in our house and continues until 8pm most nights.
I still love listening to my own playlists though, and my dd has always sung in her sleep, weird girl."

Very similar here. Come from a mad about music family with a few who are actually musical (an uncle who was a session musician and an aunt (by marriage to that uncle) who was a session singer. Like many American singers I started singing in church. Catholic family - LONG services with choir accompaniment for sacraments etc. Then school choirs, then teen "bands" though we never recorded anything we'd occasionally perform at school events, mainly covers but a few original pieces that myself and a friend wrote (I can read music wouldn't attempt to write it, but OK doing lyrics), then back into church choirs again as an adult, coaching teens via voluntary roles, then adult "contemporary" choirs.

Family liked everything from classical (including chamber music which is a bit niche), opera through to ragtime, jazz, blues, country, rock & roll, psychedelia, pop, metal, rap (one of my Dns who's normally quite shy can drum up a rap on demand)...

I'm mainly a pop girl as I like a well crafted melody and storytelling lyrics, but I don't think there's a genre where there aren't at least 5 tracks I like.

I have a fairly nondescript "look" these days so people are surprised when they say they're into X metal band or y prog rock band and I say "oooohhhh yes I love their track z" which is usually an album only track.

A friend's slightly older husband when we first met was pleasantly surprised to find we were both CCR fans and we had a right good blether about that.

And I have more respect for artists & real performers (struggling to find a gender Neutral pronoun alternative to "showman") as opposed to those who only sing and only sing poor covers at that westlife usually from atop stools!

It adds nothing to the art and demeans the work of the original artists.

Covers are a cop out anyway, there's a very few covers that are better than the original, very different from them, but that's extremely rare.

Dreams - Gabrielle what is she mumbling on about

Rotterdam and Perfect 10 by The Beautiful South just awful drivel I like their cover of Dream a Little Dream everything else is awful

Baker Street- what a depressing song we have Smooth on at work its always played around 4pm to bring down the mood

In the Getto - Elvis he sounds drunk

My Way - Frank Sinatra. I absolutely love Frank Sinatra but this drivel is awful he hated it himself i am pleased to say Smile

Imagine - John Lennon just smug and sanctimonious. I love The Beatles and some of his later stuff but not this

Placebogirl · 11/02/2019 01:14

Anything by Pink Floyd, but in particular 'Echoes'. I think it is one of the biggest Emperor's New Clothes moments in music that they managed to convince a bunch of (mostly) navel-gazing blokes that that was a song.

SapphireSeptember · 11/02/2019 05:11

Do they know it's Christmas? I fucking hate that song with the burning passion of a thousand suns!
The Song That Shall Not Be Named from Frozen, it's not a Christmas song!
Actually, I hate most Christmas songs, working in retail where they are piped directly into your brain for hours at a time is enough to drive most sane people completely bananas!

FireCrotch · 11/02/2019 06:56

That song Frank Sinatra did with his daughter Nancy. Creepy and incestuous.

CheddarIsNotTheOnlyCheese · 11/02/2019 07:01

Sapphire I worked in a shop where the first song on the tape was a fake version of All I Want For Christmas. It played hourly. Every time it came on the staff used to shout out "Only 4 more fake Mariahs to go!"
