Any covers of wham! Or George Michael tracks. I adored him and his best works are absolute classics - and you should NEVER EVER mess with a classic!
I'm noticing quite a few being mentioned are covers too.
Anything by Michael Jackson. Radio stations don't play Gary glitter or rolf harrison any more so I don't see why this should be inflicted on us either.
Anything by Beyoncé - all crap all sound the same
Anything by cliff Richard - aside from all the other reasons he sounds so NASAL and false! Like he's putting a weird voice on! Even his speaking voice I've lived all over uk and heard hundreds of uk accents - I've NEVER heard whatever the fuck accent he's supposed to have is!
"The Scientist by Coldplay, it’s sooo bloooody dreary!" Make that anything by Coldplay. So bloody depressing - even their "upbeat" songs are! How?! I have a particular hatred of "fix you" which was a hit around when I split from ex and was feeling broken and this just made me feel worse!
Marian Carey - without you - falls under the "don't mess with a classic" rule. Also not keen on her as a singer, technically brilliant but lacks warmth somehow and yet I like the woman herself.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" 😱 wash your mouth out! How can you hate this?! And there's 2 of you?!
"Believe Cher" agreed, she has a fab voice she never needed this abomination to be out there.
I do think a fair few that are being mentioned are perfectly OK even good tracks but have been ruined for many by being overplayed. For me the following are in that category where initially I loved them but I ended up hearing them SO MUCH it put me off at least for a while :
Whitney - I will always love you
Oasis - wonderwall
Bryan Adams - everything I do...
Enya - Orinoco flow
James - sit down
Snow patrol - chasing cars
Yazz - the only way is up (not helped by new labours appropriation)
Peter cetera - glory of love
Dexys midnight runners - come on Eileen
Manic street preachers - design for life
King of Rock n Roll - Prefab Sprout
Real Gone Kid - Deacon Blue
American Pie – Don McLean
Then there's the just plain dire, especially (but not ltd to) the grim, paedo, abuse excusing crap:
Jealous guy - don't care who sings it fucking awful dv minimising song
My Sharona
Does your mother know - Abba
Brotherhood of man - save all your kisses
Gilbert o'sullivan - claire
Tie a yellow ribbon
Run to you - Bryan Adams
All I wanna do is make love to you
In the summertime...
When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman - Dr Hook
A little bit more - also dr hook dr creepy rapist
Chumbawumba - tub thumping
Lady In Red - or indeed any Chris de burgh track
Let's hear it for the boy (from footloose)
Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison
"Any song created after 1987..." Haha, if it weren't for George I'd probably agree. 2 words for you
Absolute 80's
"Mull of Kintyre
I can suffer anything else but this..........." Is it the bagpipes?
"lego movie - catchy song" did you see Chris on Graham Norton?

"Titanium" really? It's one of my favourites. Awesome username fellow Scot?
"Evanescence, ‘Wake me up in time’ or something! So ott and whiny." Bring me to life? I love that song.
"I have a personal hatred for those "end of the school disco" songs" I SHOULD hate these as I was never once asked to dance (not cool or pretty enough) but actually I love them. You mean tracks like:
Bonnie Tyler - total eclipse of the heart
Madonna - crazy for you
Joe cocker & Jennifer warnes up where we belong
Eric Clapton - wonderful tonight
Foreigner - waiting for a girl like you
Chicago - hard to say I'm sorry
Paul Weller - you do something to me
Fat Larrys band - zoom
Foreigner - I wanna know what love is
Spandau ballet - true
???
I love an 80's ballad.
I also quite like those cheesy novelty songs but especially the ones with their own moves like pretty much all Agadoo songs, tight fit, jive bunny, macarena... All those ones but I take them in the spirit they're intended which is goofy fun.
"I just called to say I love you by Stevie Wonder. Stevie is a bone-fide musical genius whose 70s albums are timeless masterpieces. It is a small tragedy that this ghastly twee abomination of a song is the work for which he is best known in the Uk
I know! Superstitious! What an awesome track!"
Not sure I agree that's what most U.K. Stevie fans think of. Certainly I think of
Superstitious
Gangsters paradise
As (George even should've known better on the "don't mess with a classic" rule)
Loves in need of love today
Don't you worry bout a thing
Uptight (everything's alright)
