Jess Glynne

Jess Glynne

Oh and Jess Glynne

She's awful

SquiddyMcSquidford · 14/02/2019 20:40

@Bawdrip your descriptions made me LOL, especially "sounds like a trumpet".

@BestestBrownies I agree Nickelback are one of the worst bands ever. But I don't often hear them on the radio anymore, so I'll permit them to continue compared to the annoyances I seem to hear daily Wink

Coldplay

Nickleback

Muse/Madness I can't decide!

All played on radio stations I listen to, I dislike lots of the pop crap people have said but I never really hear it.

Also Noel and his high flying birds or whatever
Oasis
Ian Brown
The stone roses
Basically all 90's idiots with sideburns please

Very sad someone said The Smiths Dad are you on Mumsnet? Also Bob Dylan are you mad???

EnidButton · 14/02/2019 21:00

Blur - because no-one ever really 'won' the 90's rival thing and I was an Oasis fan so that'd settle it.

Y'one* who sings that 9 million bicycles in Beijing or whatever it is.

The Bee gees- good song writers but truly awful, terrible singers.

(*Katie Melua?)

PsychedelicSheep · 14/02/2019 22:47

Blur won Enid! Country House beat the godawful Roll with it to number one and that decided it!

EnidButton · 14/02/2019 23:08

Well they had to have one. Longevity beats them hands down plus who wants to knock around with a bunch of plastic cockneys making cheese when you could be down the pub having a proper laugh?

Sorry BestestBrownies and OutOntheTilez it's their voices I hate not so much their music or lyrics. As a matter of fact, I love Gary Jules version of Mad World. It's one of my favourite songs!

I love their voices, but I hear you and I respect your opinion! Yes, I agree that the Gary Jules version of “Mad World” is excellent. Very haunting and beautiful.

When we saw TFF in concert two years ago, they opened with Lorde’s taped rendition of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” which I thought was amazing. Also very haunting, and then TFF came on stage playing their upbeat version. Quite the contrast.

Agree on Nickelback. There’s that one song I hear over and over. Don’t ask me the name – I don’t know it. But I have to say I do love “Rockstar” by them.

primoestate · 15/02/2019 05:18

Michael Jackson - child rapist
R Kelly - not much better
George Ezra - dreadful songs

OnlineAlienator · 15/02/2019 05:22

Jess glynne
Coldplay
Cliff richard

OnlineAlienator · 15/02/2019 05:23

I really wanna add foo fighters though :( haaate them soooo much

MissLanesAmericanCousin · 15/02/2019 16:56

OutOntheTilez Thank you! I love Lorde and I have yet to hear that one, so I'm going to have to check it out. Like, I said, I loved their lyrics! They were very good writers! So is Lorde, in her own right.

I'm glad you guys had such a good time seeing them in concert. Speaking of British concerts, I saw Radiohead several years ago and it was the single most magical concert I've ever been too! They are easily my most favourite band in the world. Ever since the Bends, but Ok Computer really sealed it for me. That album changed my life! Smile

Jins · 15/02/2019 16:59

Only three? I have so many.

Ed Sheeran
Coldplay
Queen

rightreckoner · 15/02/2019 17:07

Ooh fun

U2
Rihanna
Sam Smith

The latter two for their terrible whining voices. U2 for being basically on a par with Status Quo but undue bombast and self-importance.

NannyKasey · 16/02/2019 18:23

OnlineAlienator Have to agree re the Foo Fighters, I hate Dave Grohl so much I want to punch the TV every time I see him. It's irrational and he's probably a nice chap but I really don't like him Angry

Vanillamanilla1 · 16/02/2019 18:29

Little mix .. I have an irrational hatred for them as one of their fathers is an utter utter UTTER CUNT and for some reason I won't listen to Little Mix because of this .. I know it's not her fault her dad is a fucking disgusting individual ..( yes I know him personally) ... Disgusting fucking cunt of a man
Manic Street Preachers ( never thought they were talented by an ounce )
Jess glynne ...again I think she's irritatingly nasally

Vanillamanilla1 · 16/02/2019 18:36

Oh and the music is shit

IJustLostTheGame · 16/02/2019 18:39

Simply red
Coldplay
The lady who sang about all the people in Beijing making you think. It didn't.

Interceptor999 · 16/02/2019 19:01

Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, One Direction

Devonishome1 · 16/02/2019 19:23

Cheryl Cole
Cheryl Cole
Cheryl Cole.....if that’s still her name!

dontforgettofloss · 16/02/2019 19:27

Rita Ora
Adele
Cardi b

alwayscrashinginthesamecar1 · 18/02/2019 06:56

U2 have always given me the rage (and I am Irish)
Oasis because they are shit
Duffy, because her voice makes me want to break things.

And loads already mentioned.

StealthPolarBear · 18/02/2019 06:58

Jess glynn
Any male band who shouts instead of singing, scouting for girls, the vaccines

StealthPolarBear · 18/02/2019 06:58

Actually yes to Queen. I like them bit they're so overplayed.

LoniceraJaponica · 18/02/2019 07:10

I like most of the people mentioned on here Blush
My bans would be:
Any rap
Any headbanging screamo music
The Beatles
